I have sent my PR card for replacement as there was problem with the name on it.

initially i was told it will take 6-7 weeks for replacement pr card to arrive.

I mailed the PR card for replacement in end of november.

I called CIC call centre today and they said that they have opened it on 17 Jan 2012 and is under process but haven't been printed and mailed yet.

Does anyone know how much time they will take to print and mail it?

No, any number would be a guess.
I am sure they don't know either !

This was my timeline back in 2010 if it's of any help to you at all:

***

We received your application for a permanent resident card on January 4, 2010.

We started processing your application on March 5, 2010.

Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on March 5, 2010. You will be notified by mail within four weeks and invited to pick up your card at the CIC office closest to you.

You have received your permanent resident card on April 28, 2010.

Also, according to posts in the below thread, the average waiting time (including postage) is up to 2 months...
