Hi everyone, I check processing times on the IRCC website regularly.
Today, timeframes were updated to the following. Note that processing times are historical, but quite frankly it's anyone's guess whether these will faster now that IRCC has got more resources and is digitizing processes.
Like other PNP applicants, it is quite a daunting feeling to know that it may be 2 years or more till we're getting residency, especially if your nomination is linked to your ability to hold down a job for the entire period.

| PNP Non Express Entry -> I've already applied | 27 months | 25 months |
| PNP Express Entry | 22 months | (I believe it was closer to 1 year) |
