Has any of us here ever applied for a Canadian permanent resident status while living in HK? Just want to know roughly how long the whole process takes, from the time all the necessary documents are sent to Mississauga till the time that the residency is granted? Thank you.

All the information and dates/times etc. is clearly posted on the vast depths known as the CRA website. There are many factors that could determine how fast it is. Have fun reading.
