It's nowhere near that. It was like that back in 2008-ish when there was a backlog hundreds of thousands of people long. It has not been like that since Express Entry was fully implemented. Check the processing times here for yourself:

- angst_ridden 6y agoIt is for non-Express Entry applications. Those of us too old for CRS-score based applications, or who are not looking for jobs evidently get put into a different queue.
- smnrchrds 6y agoThe longest queue is still up to 15-19 months long. There may be some expired streams that are taking longer than that, but none of the current immigration streams are supposed to take anywhere near that long.
- angst_ridden 6y agoI can only speak from personal experience. I've been in the process since 2015, and have had confirmation that I can't expect resolution for up to another 30 months.
- smnrchrds 6y agoThat is quite strange. If you don't mind me asking, what is the stream under which you have applied?
- angst_ridden 6y agoI'm a bit skittish about posting too many specific details on a public forum until my application has been processed. This may be foolish, but I've put a lot of time and money into it, and significant aspects of my future are riding on being approved. I'd message you details directly if I could figure out how.
