see my timeline, just over 4 months for 120 day letter then I guess another 3 or 4 before medicals then possibly another 2 or 3 - so I'm thinking approx one year.

Re: how fast is the new processs????
Total processing time is 6-12 months, so you would have PR within the year if they stick to anticipated times.

Re: how fast is the new processs????
Does that mean that due to the new "shortened occupations list" there are fewer people applying through the FSW route these days? I can't beleive it takes approx 1 year to get through the whole process now!
Back in the day when I applied it was a 2 and a half year wait!

if they stick to anticipated times
The new process is slightly different in that the initial application goes to Sydney NS where it is pre-processed before it is sent to your local CIC office for final processing.
I'm guessing this will make processing of priority applications under the FSW 2009 rules (aka the new list of 38) more efficient.
Also, the job qualifying list has reduced from hundreds of occupations to 38 = less qualifying applications.
Time will tell.

Re: how fast is the new processs????
It's good to hear Immigration have finally figured out how to be efficient in processing applications.
It'll be interesting to see how many applications are approved this year based on a limited occupation list versus faster processing times.
