Hi All,

My wife has sponsored me for PR in Canada, once I receive the AIP (first stage approval), generally how long will it take to finalize the PR?

I know each case if different but curious what times people are seeing?

FYI: we did an Inland application to Vegreville.

thank you!

Depends on which office the file is referred to, Mississauga, Calgary, Etobicoke a long backlog, the other offices, 2/4 months.

Hi PPM,

Thank you for all your help,

I called this in and they told me that I will get first stage approval end of this month.

My question is how long after the first stage approval is it untill i get my PR card? I am here in Canada on a work permit that expires end of the 2010 and i am hoping to keep my job so i need the process completed.

Just looking for a timeline on how long the overall process after first stage approval takes so i can talk to my employers and plan this out.

thank you!

Once you get first stage approval ii think you can apply for work permit, health care etc...so should not be a problem.....i think
