I have received my CSQ from Quebec provincial since October 2014 and then the application to Federal is November 2014. No matter I have not receive the file number until now but immigration fee by CIC is deducted on March 2015.

With my friend saying they have already passed interview, taking CSQ and get file number after 3-4 months. Afterwards, they only spend not more than totally 8-13 months to finish ME and criminal check and finally landed to Canada Quebec.

So, I want to enquiry how often the process time spend after the CSQ/file number issue? Many thanks to your feedback!
 
You have not mentioned your VO. Processing time is mentioned here according to your VO (Visa Office)

Secondly, if you are not sure about your file, I would advise you to email your VO and get response in regards to specific case enquiry.

For everybody, it takes different time. There is no definite way of knowing. If you have stayed in multiple countries, it will take significantly more time. ME request is issued only after you have cleared Background and Security Screening process.
 
Hi, many thanks! I just got the FN on Mid-July and they are now process my file. You mean my VO is dealing the document or my Visa place? I live in Hong Kong and doing the document is Sydney, Nova Scotia.
 
Your VO is Hong Kong. So ~24 months processing time. Could be more, could be less.

As already mentioned, it will depend on *your* individual circumstances. Your file is not identical to your friend's, so comparing timelines will probably only stress you out!
