For people who have been submitting their applications for professional status recently, whats your experience on wait times? I'm going to be submitting mine next month but I've heard they're backed up and it's up to a 6 month wait. I get a raise once I show my employer I am a P.Eng so I'd like it sooner than later. Has anyone submitted their application before having the full 4 years experience (to get your application in the queue earlier)?
If you went to a Canadian University and are an EIT, and did your work experience in Canada under the supervision of P.Engs the whole time it should take between 1 month to 6 weeks. The way it more or less works is that your application is looked at by a person and they decide if it needs to go through the education comittee, the experience comittee or the ethics comittee for evaluation. If you meet the above it doesn't need to be looked at the 3 comitttees and will go straight to the registration comittee that meets once a month with a recomendation you be accepted. If it has some red flags and gets sents to the other ones then expect a 1 month delay per group that looks at it.

Also make sure your references send in the questionaire quickly after they recieve it as your application doesn't start being processed until they are in.
