Yes, it made my LP late came. But anyway my case was normal speed.
Quebec FN: 2001.11
Interview: 2002.11
Federal FN: 2003.1
ME: 2003.7
Pick up letter: 2004.2
Landing:2004.5
It took me total two and half years. If no requirement of No-criminal record, it maybe took 2years and less. By the way, my case was in HONGKONG Office.
yes, no criminal requirement came with the ME form, 我先体检了,然后才go to Beijing to do 那个non-criminal record证明, then waiting for pick up letter. Meantime, I emailed to Canadian Royal Police station many time to enquiry my case, eveytime they replied to me was in process, until after 6 months, they replied that they had forwarded my result to HongKong Immigration Office.
