Maybe it's 15 weeks which somehow makes sense. at least for FSW.
15 weeks would be a dream! :D but not holding my breath!

I think it's realistic, unless you're from the very few with 480+ score.

PNP average time ~ 5-7 months plus 6-7 months from ITA = 11-14 months

I dnt know how it makes sense because pnp certificates are valid for just 6 months then how they can drag that for 15 months? Medical is for one year, pcc is 6 months all these are going opposite in relation to this processing time

The original processing time was 6 mths or less from the time a complete application was received - not from when you complete a profile and enter the pool. Oh, and our application is CEC a Inland with a score of around 950 (not sure if that makes a difference ::))

it's not like 6 months firm process, it's their target, nice to meet, but not mandatory nor promised, as mentioned, it's from ITA and submission of complete application. the higher your score, the better as you will cut on waiting/processing time by provincial nomination

yes. that's a very good point. i wonder if the PNP certificates will have extended expiry.

has it ever happened that somebody with PNP certificate couldn't finalise the PR issuance within 6 months?

In the old system my roommate hot hers in 1 year and 9 months and they never said it was expired. I think the 6 month is for when you apply after that it's fine.

Why everybody say that the PN, PCC, medicals or whatsoever must "last" until the PR visa grant day? It is required for these document to be valid at the moment of submitting the e-APR, isn't it???

aha, that's why I am saying, everybody panics here that their docs will get expired however there is no logic in that
