Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and I was wondering if older users could help me.
I recently received my CSQ and I live in canada on a post-grad work visa.
I know that I have to apply for PR to the Ottawa visa office.
I know they claim that the processing time is around 20 months for federal part of QSW,
but I wanted to know how accurate this processing time is and what is the most likely duration from application date to the issuance of PR card?
Also if 20 months is the most likely time, I would have to leave Canada to go back to my country for job reasons and would not be able to return to Canada for at least a year and half, during this time I would have to perform the mandatory military service of my country and I would not be able to keep my passport for the duration of one year and half ( it will be issued again after finishing the military service ), so I am wondering if for instance the processing time would be short, maybe after 10 months I receive a passport request while not having a passport for another 6 months, could they void my PR application or even my CSQ certificate.
I really appreciate any opinions or information about my questions.
Regards,
Hooman
