hi

I will be sending my canadian skilled worker forms in a few days to the buffalo center. I got my fbi finger print results few days ago. My question is regarding the application timeline: assuming all my paperwork is good, how long will it take for them to decide my case? 16 months? and after that they give ppl 1 year to land right?

thanks in advance

Expect timeline in range from 20 months to 4+ years. Don't even dream about 16 months, it won't happen. Look here:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/departm...illed-fed.html

to see average processing times for cases completed (visas issued) in the period Oct 2004 - Sep 2005.

Take into account that processing times for applications being submitted now are expected to be at least 12 months longer in average.

Sorry.
