Please can any one who has experienced in asking for alternative passport request instructions for other countries let me know the wait time. I got to know it is like 2-3 weeks from other sources. Please let us know if you have exp. otherwise.

I just got request for additional documents. My wife could not get police certificate from US because FBI could not read her fingerprints. They could not read them twice even though Canadian expert says they are ok and he sent electronic ones along with ink. I explained that to CIC in a letter and submitted all paperwork from FBI. Now CIC wants police clearance from states within 30 days. Official processing time in FBI is 6 weeks... Really don't know what to do.

Mine expires on July 10 and I have applied on 31st May. Hoping to receive it soon.
The online application was updated two times;
1. change of status to open
2. change the documents required to "No documents required at this time"

Mine was expiring 30th April 2016

Applied on 28th April and got approved on 18th of May 2016 ... pretty quick as against 3 months wait in 2015 :)

20 months is the average. The actual processing time may be even longer. I myself have been waiting for 21 months (August applicant).

It is not even an average. This is just a number to stop people sending them requests about their application status...

I am Sep 2014 CEC applicant and currently waiting for PPR. I am currently on closed work permit expiring in October '16. Please advise if I need to apply for BOWP or shall I apply for extension of my closed work permit ?

I called the CIC helpdesk and they advised that my application is in progress and background check is almost complete, so, just need to wait.

You have enough time left don't worry about bowp at this point. If I be you I won't apply for bowp until September . Just wait and pray for final decision on your file until September.
