During my application process for Canadian Express Entry / Permanent Residence and Citizenship I found it very useful to refer to online forums & messageboards to hear about other people's experiences and timelines. Now that I've finally become a citizen myself I thought I'd post a video describing my own timeline in case it's able to help anyone else.
