Hi

Is anyone here, who is originally from Iran and applied under Express Entry in CEC stream (Canadian work experience).
I have a small question which is basically about how long your PR process took.

If you are or you know someone like that, please reply here or message me (you can click on my ID and send a personal message.).
I would really appreciate that!

The EE processing time is on average 6 months. Each case varies.

That's right. But sometimes for some nationalities there are extra checks that CIC does (it's not relevant to the applicant, it's more about the countries and their political relationships etc.). That may add to the processing time.
It's quite rare though.

Anyone who could help with this?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
It's great and very helpful to share our stories here, at least to have an estimate of what is going to happen.

I remember you said it was your friend, am I right?

Do you know when he applied?
Because I want to know if it was recently, where CIC is in general quick with processing CEC applications?

and specially how long after he applied they requested his CV?
Because I want to know how long after submitting CV it took to receive PR?

Can you tell what documents were requested that are normally not asked from applicants of other countries?

For me, so far they requested my CV/Resume and also a form about field of study, supervisors and publications that I had to fill out.

I uploaded those on Friday and my BG changed from NA to IP today.
I am hoping that the process will not take long after we submit CV (I am not sure if EVERY Iranians are requested to submit CV though).

I was at least lucky to receive the CV request only two months after submitting my application (every changes in my profile happened at the same time as other applicants who had applied at the same time as me, till a week ago when I received CV request).

I intend to apply under federal skilled worker but I have studied and worked in Canada and the states. I guess the process should be the same for me. Thank you for the info.

Do you guys know if there is a probably a telegram group/channel for Iranian applicants, that I could join?

I know there used to be one, but I am not sure if there is any now.

You hopefully may be lucky and not receive this request, as I am still not sure if every Iranians are subject to this or not.
It may depend also on field of study and work.

All the best.
