Each case is individual however if he has a job offer the whole process will be speeded up. We submitted our EOI and as it was submitted we sent off for our police checks (at the time it took 40 days but I think it is much quicker now). As soon as you have been selected then arrange your medicals and get all your papers together. This can take the longest. If you have everything ready for when your ITA arrives and everything is in order you should get PR within weeks. Look at my time line to see how long it was for us. The only reason there is a long gap between receiving ITA and submitting it was because I could only get the family together for the medicals at a certain time. Otherwise it would have been sooner. Good luck.
