How long for a PMQ approval?

[jr2010]

I hope this is the right area to ask this  ???

My husband's course just got pushed back to Jan 2011 instead of Sep 2010.  That means he'll be there for a total of 9 months instead of 5 which means we should be able to get a PMQ.  He is handing in the paperwork tomorrow.  I'm just curious how long approximately the whole process will take, if anyone out there knows.  Thanks.

Hi, sorry I haven't answered before now, and you may not like it much, but here I am...

How long a pmq takes is dependent on a lot of factors...  different bases take different amounts of time.  If you have kids, that can affect it as well.  I know in 2006 in Borden, there was sometimes a 6 month waiting list, after you submitted the paperwork.  In Trenton, I was approved and moved into a Q within a month and a half.  I don't know what the averages may be, but the best thing to do would be to get a hold of the CFHA wherever you're getting posted, and ask them what the general wait time has been looking like.  That's the best suggestion I can give you.  Sorry I couldn't do more!

It also depends on the type of posting (e.g. restricted) and if he gets approval to live outside of barracks for his course.
