From earlier batch, five weeks will be considered early, average is six to seven weeks.
ranaway might be right!!
1-2 months it takes... it is also based on the applicant. I have seen only in-canada applicants and manila applicants got their PPR quickly. I am not sure why. I guess in-canada applicants have updated police certificates (zero crime rate during their stay @ canada) and it might be a factor to fasten their process.
regarding manila applicants, previous manila immigrants (years and years) have good records according to the canadian government (I mean lower crime rate of phil immigrants comparing other countries). This is what I read in many articles/forums. Again, I can't prove with any links as I don't remember any of them.
Don't be worried. These are final two steps and I have no records of CIC refusing after these steps. Just start reading other threads like how to survive after landing. Because I have seen few people struggling after landing. They don't know how to create a proper network and move on. My x-room mate was jobless for almost 2 yrs after his landing. It's completely because of his poor networking skills. It's easy to get a job in Canada, but you have to make a proper network.
All the best everyone..
pm me if you need any information from my side.. I might miss some threads.
