Does anyone know what the processing times are for the skilled work PR under the new system or have any experiance of it? CIC are claiming no data available yet so not very helpful there:

OH is on the list of 38 so now we are just trying to figure out whats going to be best skilled worker PR or TWP then apply via PNP. We had it all sorted in our heads then they went and changed the rules in January!

Hi we are proceeding via the FSW PR route, times stated are 6 - 12 months.
TWP will get you there quicker providing you can secure a joboffer, about 3 months I hear, but you run the risk of being laid off. If you are laid off whilst in Canada on a TWP you can legally stay for the duration of that work permit but to work for someone else you have to apply for another work permit.
We just liked the fact that as a permanent resident you have a little more security and freedom not to mention rights.
I know at least one person who went on a TWP and to apply for PR they have been told their permit needs renewing which means their job has to be advertised to other Canadians for 2 weeks or so before they can do this and has caused them no end of stress and worry as they could have been basically on their way back to the UK having bought a house and settled,I don't think this has happened though and they are now going through the PR process.
Just our thoughts anyway, hope this helps!!

how long it takes to receive a reply for a 120 letter ( medicals requests) on average ?
