I have received a updated saying "Medical results have been received" on June

How long do I have to wait for until I got the landed Immigrant?

Thank you very much!!
 
Unfortunately, seeing that in eCAS doesn't mean that they're working on your application really. You know you're getting close when the "Application for Permanent Residence" side says "We started processing your application...".

That depends on the visa office processing your application. Ottawa usually only takes a few weeks after that at the most, but some offices can take a few months. You could get a more accurate status on your application by ordering GCMS notes http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp. Once they start processing your application, you can see specifically what part of the application they have worked on (Criminality, Eligibility, etc) and any notes the officer has written in your file. They take around 30 days to receive.

I got that line approximately 2weeks after SA.

It's not always the case. It depends on the VO. For VOs outside Canada and US, you can be stuck in that line for months or even a year before getting DM.

Yes, I realize that, but it's at least a small indication that they've even opened your file, which is what the OP was asking for, rather than meds received, and as I said "some offices can take a few months". I did also point out that notes would be more accurate. And I don't think the OP was asking about how long until they receive that line, I think they were asking about how long after they see that line will their application be done with.

What visa office is processing your application? You could probably get a good idea of the timeline for that office by looking at spreadsheets and any threads for that visa office on here.

and no problem ;D

There are links to spreadsheets in my signature and you can search the name of your visa office to find a thread. Do you know which visa office is processing your application (it would have been mentioned in the Sponsorship Approval letter)?

Mississauga

I tried looking into the spreadsheet, it was hard to understand :P

so we received the noticed "We started processing your application on July 31, 2015."

and also on June 2016 we got the medical confirm.

How long will it usually take for us to get it

I am sorry for asking a lot of questions

Are you applying inland? If so, those spreadsheets won't make a lot of sense, since they're for outland. Here's the thread for 2015 Inland applications: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/inland-applications-2015-t255107.0.html

If you're applying inland and applied the beginning of 2015, I don't think it'll take longer than another year, and it could be as little as a few more months. I would definitely order notes to see how much of your application they have processed so far. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell exactly how long inland applications will take, since people's processing times can vary by months. Anything around and under 2 years has been normal.
