It means that they have started working on your file. CHC will start the document verification, background and security check. If all is well next step is to get the medicals

Tank you for sharing your experience. One more clarification, Generally how long does it takes to complete the process. My visa office is Singapore. I submitted the first application to CIC on september 15, 2009

It depends on lot of things. I am not sure about Singapore office bu New Delhi is taking around 4 months

But it depends a lot on case to case, like have you submitted full documents or have provided explaination for some, your travel history, employment history etc

My experience is that "in process" means only that the application is on the visa office. My wife's application was "in process" as of early December, but when I checked in March the Embassy said they hadn't actually started working on her file!!
