<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was filling out my Canadian Study Permit forms and I was reading their guidebook and realized that before you can submit the forms you need to have your CAQ. I've heard that the CAQ can take a long time to process. Is there anyway I can find out how long it will take to get my CAQ? I was planning on getting my study permit at the port of entry but now i'm worried that I will get there but won't be able to receive my study permit. Any advice?</p>

<p>It can take up to a month or two, so you need to send the CAQ forms in right now! I got mine about three weeks after I sent them in, but the processing time varies a lot so don't count on getting yours in the same time, just send it all in right now and hope it doesn't take them a month and a half.</p>
