6 month Estimated Time (express entry)

[madi281]

Hi,

I submitted my Express entry application on 28th NOV 2018. My application status bar, shows that by May 2019 my application will be reviewed/completed.

Does it really take this long ? I know its cases to case, but from what I have heard you get a response from them within 1 or 2 months.

Some very exceptional cases can be processed much faster, like 1-2 months. Nobody knows really how that happens. So many variables come into play.
But most cases are processed within the 5-6 months time frame. That's what it's most likely to take. You should aim for that to avoid getting frustrated.
But if you're among the lucky ones, it could take less.
