I initially came here as a tourist last Aug 2000. When my 6 months was up, I filed for an extension and they granted me another 6 months up till Aug 2001. I filed my change of status application (student status) on April and I got my approval on September, so that's about 5 months of waiting. I filed all my applications in Nebraska and from what I heard it makes a difference on where you file your application. If you file in California or in big cities it'll take you forever probably because of the volume of applicants. Anyway while I was waiting for my approval I took some summer and spring classes so don't know if that helped up my approval.

It really depends which country you're from. Just call up a Canadian consulate and ask.
