Processing times and submitting online application

[Ivanm7331]

Hello,

does Anyone know the approximate processing time? i heard some get it in 6 to 12 months max.. but some consultant told me it’s 22 months now because of COVID.. is this true?

and , can I submit some documents online, then continue application in a week or so when I get more files?

Processign times are generally over 12 months right now.

No, you cannot submit some documents online now and then continue with the application later. You need to wait until you have all of the required documents before you can submit the application online (or via mail).

That's not strictly true, actually. When you apply online, you create an account, and can gradually upload documents / photos / files / forms as you finish working on them. You can only SUBMIT then all at once. But you can absolutely be working on your application through the PR portal for quite a while. I personally worked on my application for about 2 months before submitting, and the portal allowed me to upload things piece meal over that time. But yes, when it comes to actually submitting all of that info, you can do that only once.

Yes, I agree with that. I interpreted the OP's question differently. I understood it to mean that he wants to submit his application without having all of the document in order to start the clock on the processing time. This of course isn't possible.
