We're just starting out with my wife, applied for the permanent residency back in June. Only lately have things started to roll, but it seems once things go, they go pretty efficiently. It was about 2 months before we received any acknowledgement of our application. But now it seems they're making new requests for information from us every week.
It's amazing how many Canadian citizens there are here in the Middle East that have barely even set foot in our country. I meet them all the time. I hate to think the process would be easy for people to take advantage of Canadian benefits without ever making a contribution to the country. It's better that the process is thorough.
