From my experience, "lawyers" are usually not as knowledgeable as they might present themselves and don't like to give any guarantees. That's why he/she told you it will take 4 weeks, just to be on a safe side. There are no official time frames for PR Visa issuance, and CIC agents cannot comment how fast you can get your passports back either.
But from what I've heard on this forum, standard time frame (holidays away) is exactly 15 days from the moment your passport is received in Ottawa. However, some people (like myself), do not fit in this category for whatever reason. :-(
But I'm sure you'll get your docs back much faster than 4 weeks.
Nohting much you can do in term of Prep. Its just a matter of asking CIC to change the VO for your Wife to india. I have already sent an email to ottawa requesting the change but no replies so far. their response time in 21 days. and the dealine for submitting the passports is 30 days. lolx lets hope for best.
i have sent my passports and photos to ottawa and also attached a letter requesting for the change of VO for my Wife. Hope all goes well.
a quick doubt. We have to send passport by regular mail right? Not by xpresspost courier? And just include one Canadapost xpresspost envelope with our address with the package?

I used xpresspost to send as well and included a xpresspost envelope inside for return. That way it will be faster and can track the delivery to CPC. If you use regular post, it may take more time and may not able to track..
