This forum is about the Chicago area, including questions regarding relocation to Chicago.

Your best bet for getting a time estimate would be to ask an attorney who specializes in immigration to Canada.

I think I have identified the problem.
Chicago does not grant visa requests to Canada.
Actually, no one does.
You just drive, fly, walk, bike, skip-to-my-lou there.

If you are a residence and not a resident; here is the link; Apply–Visit Canada as a tourist

By the way, you wouldn't happen to know my friend who was an Somali prince, would you?

Are you planning to immigrate or to visit?

Canada immigration visa and Information on immigration to Canada

The new Canadian immigration laws make this more difficult. Not sure how long the process takes though.

If you are just visiting, you can apply online

It is very difficult to emigrate to Canada. I was going to try to do so, to move to Montreal, but the new laws in Canada have made it very difficult. I think a lot of americans are looking to move to Canada and they want to stop Americans from flooding over the border.

I don't blame the Canadians. I wouldn't want to pay for all the poor americans who want good cheap healthcare.

The immigration forum is probably where you should ask this.
