I stated the above - You can apply for Citizenship 3 years AFTER you become a Landed Immigrant.. To apply for Landed Immigrant status it takes 4 years. Oh and you said "it can take 9 months to process" but we will ignore that time..
That's still 7 years any way you twist it... it takes damn near the same amount of time in America.
Green card for green card, Canada may be faster - who gives a shit? Canada has like 250 million less people, shit probably should get done quicker.
Are we now talking about family case instead of you or me going into Canada? Cause that's not what we referenced throughout these posts... so it's kinda odd to twist it now.
However - as stated before, I don't care that it takes longer here, at that.. if you can so easily migrate into Canada, why anyone would Sponsor someone is stupid - just move.

At least we both agree on one thing that you don't know shit about this issue.

On November 28, 2008, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, provided assurances that new federal skilled worker applications should receive a selection decision within 6-12 months from submission. This contrasts substantially with applications submitted under the old regime where, depending upon the time of year, the immigration program and the office in question and other factors, the processing time for an application for permanent residence filed under the economic class can vary from between 12 months and 40 months. This is the time generally needed to demonstrate compliance under one of the applicable categories; a clean bill of health for the applicant and accompanying dependants; sufficient assets to successfully establish the family in Canada; and a confirmation of no criminal inadmissibility’s for the applicant and the overage accompanying dependants. (The immigration offices in New Delhi, Islamabad, Beijing, Manila and Accra historically attract the most applications and therefore have the longest processing times).

I didn't see any special office for "stupid" where you had your papers processed for 4 years if it takes 3 years for some street sweeper from Yemen get his shit done.
