Family stream - processing time

[robertschulz]

Hallo everybody,
I’m looking for some information from people with experience about processing time in program family stream to Alberta. Few days ago I found on Alberta’s official immigration website info that total processing time is at least 48 months. I only received answer from AINP that this period is so long because that there are many applications at this moment. From the other hand someone else wrote on forum that real time is much more shorter , about 12 -15 months. Is it true that processing times is shorter that this official time? And another question, is it true that processing time is different and it depends from which country people are? If You have some info please let me know ….
Robert

Hi,

Processing times depend on whether you apply inland or outland, how complicated your case is, and what country you are from. You will find some information on processing times here

These are Federal Processing times, they don't include AINP processing times for family class PNP, you add them on to the 48 months that Alberta is taking.
