    Default Question about processing time

    Hello guys,



    When the immigration website says that the processing time for SMC is 6 months... Is this time from the EOI being selected? Or from the ITA being submitted?
    I know that processing times vary from case to case, but just want to have an idea of how long the whole process takes

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    the 6 months average time given by INZ starts from the time you submit your ITA so the whole process could actually take easily a year depending on the cases.
    We lodged EOI on Feb 17 and were at interview stage on Oct 26, so that is already 8,5 months for a case which was supposed to be "easy"

    Or it could take much less Pripri - in our case we submitted ITA in Sep and received Approved in principal email just this week. So I guess you can never really predict how long it's gonna take. Good luck with your application!
