hi
there s a question , i ve applied thru CHC london. they ve given us timeframe of 42-48 months.whereas the current updated site of CIC (Feb 2008) says tht London office took 38 months to process 80% cases.also my brother applied from berlin n he got timeline of 12-18 months whereas CIc site says tht Berlin office took 22 mnths to process 30% cases n 29 mnths for 80% cases. whom we shd believe.i hope the ppl who ve gone thru this process n ve gained PRship may answer better, especially i would like to ve experiences. frm london office applicants.i mean tht r there hard n fast rules tht processing will take 42 months at least or it can happen b4 than tht.also from when shd one start calculating the time, i mean from the date the file was dispatched to embassy, the date we received our AOr or from the date embassy dispatched our AOR.

from what I hear, and I'm sure veteran advisers will weigh in, you should prepare for the longer wait times.
Posted timelines are of the cases already processed, whereas the ones you got is an estimate for the ones to be processed.

Besides, when it comes to CIC waiting times the old saying "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" is good policy.
