I applied on May 22nd, and have not heard back yet. I am in Alberta. I wonder why you guys think the processing is different for different provinces? Isn't there a central processing unit?
Also, do you think it depends on the permit expiration date? My permit expires on September 30th, but I should leave Canada in one month for an internship (and I have mentioned that in my application). If I don't hear back right away (to be able to apply for renewing my visa), I may have to leave Canada and apply for everything again. :( Any thoughts?

Also, does anyone know how long the visa extension processing takes? And how long it takes to receive the passport by mail after sending it?

hi yasmin, i dont think it depends on expiration date, i had valid OWP till may 2016. I think you should wait, you may gt it in a week or two. If you leave canada you might have to start all over again.

plus, the province thing.. I heard it quite faster for Quebec because they have a different route.

acc to the site processing time is 95 days(but not updated for two weeks now) , I got it after 75 days.

Thanks. They have just updated the processing time (it says 57 days now). So this is my new problem! It's past processing time and I still haven't heard back. I called them, and they said you'll hear back by a month... As in one month is no big deal...:(

Hi guys...pls how do I contact cic. I submitted application may 15. Now they are working on May 27.

I guess my case is exceptional cus I came into Canada 2 months to my visa expiration.

Maybe that is why there is delay.
