Length of Time
From 6 months to 24 months depending upon which Canadian immigration
processing post is selected to process the file. An application may be submitted
to any processing post outside of Canada. Strategic selection of the processing
post will make for shorter delays. Historical information regarding such
performance at each of the overseas posts is available for each category
at this Web Site.
Selection interview with an immigration officer
The principal applicant is required to attend a selection interview as
a general rule. However, some immigration processing posts will waive the
necessity of a selection interview in certain circumstances. Furthermore,
some processing posts require that all accompanying dependents over the
age of 19 attend the selection interview, while other posts do not. |
