And now the fun part
According to Canada Post our application arrived in Vegreville on Monday. So now we wait. Current processing time: 2 days. According to the latest estimates on the CIC site, in-Canada permanent residence applications are currently processed in 6 - 7 months, which means April/May 2008, which means we have only 182 - 213 days to go! Shall we open a pool? How many jellybeans in this jar? Pick a date and win!

Can I still change my bet? ;)
chrisa says karri will probably be accepted in june, but won't receive the letter of acceptance until august. it seems to be standard practice to forget to mail these letters....
Okay, June schmune! Where's your optimism, people?
Okay... I'm gonna need to totally change my bet here. Now I'm saying that it'll be November before I can get my papers, because of this:
"There is a two-step process involved in family class applications: the assessment of the sponsorship application in Canada and the assessment of the permanent residence application outside Canada by the visa office. There are separate processing times for each of these two steps."
Currently the CIC website says the average processing time for family class applications, like ours, in Vegreville is 5-6 months. But that's JUST THE FIRST PART. Then, according to that note, it'll be sent to CHC in London, UK, and take another 7-8 months there.
Immigration wait times growing
