Exact answer is 'it depends'. Depends on how fast you send the requested documents, police clearences etc. However usually the trend is 1 year from the date of application received, you will get an IA (initial assessment). You will have some docuemnts to be send at that time PLUS medicals etc... then after you finish medicals you will receive PPR (passport request) within 3 to 4 months. So altogether I guess 1 and half to 2 years time frame. Good luck.
