Timelines for recent applicants of NS Nomination program

Friends of ours sent their pack off late June to Sydney NS applying for nomination from the province of Nova Scotia. They received confirmation of their file number on July 29th and nothing since.
Has anybody had any recent experience of the nomination program who could share and perhaps give us an idea as to timescales...
The website estimates 8 to 12 weeks processing time but we all know that the websites sometimes tell fibs...

Thanks

We got our file number 5th June, were asked for missing docs on 23rd Sept & got our nomination 21st Oct. So they'll probably be looking at 14 weeks before they hear back

So looking at your time lines it's a total of 4 to 5 months... That's not too bad then... Sounds like they might hear within the next two to four weeks... hopefully with nomination rather than asking for additional info.

Thanks
