Post ITA Questions - filling the application, processing times, other

[sunshinejan]

Hey everyone and congrats to all who have got their ITAs.

I have some questions regarding the application and hope our seniors can help me.

1. The guide says that "If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide CIC with a copy of the original document as well as a version translated by a certified translator."

Does this mean translator should be certified by Canadian authorities (is there a directory?) or a notarized translation in my country would be enough?

2. In general, what is the process of gettin the PR card starting from the moment you submit the application? (like step by step)
And how long does it actually take to get the PR card?

THANKS in advance

1. Certified translator is a person certified by your government to translate documents from your local language to English or French. In my country they are called "court interpreters for XXXX language".

2. It takes approximately 6 months from the day of submission. I'm not familiar with step by step process.
