It surely can take more time. And you won't really want to submit a new application two months into submitting the first one. Where ever you apply, the processing time would roughly be the same. His application likely will be processed in India since he is in India. Yes CIC can load balance and move applications at times, but that is not in applicant's control. Applying through a lawyer from inside Canada doesn't make it processed inside Canada.lakshmikoppala said:HI FKL

Even if that was the case, currently there are plenty of people applying from inside Canada taking more than 2 - even 3-4 months of processing time.
