pole shifts usally take about 5,000 years to complete. a lot of people say that on December 21 2012, there will be a pole change and everyone will die on that day, but really, there wrong. there has been pole shifts happen before, but it was 790000 years ago.

∙ 10y agoThe reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is not something that happens
suddenly without warning at 11:43 one morning. There is geologic evidence
of hundreds of reversals in the past several hundred thousand years. It's a
process that happens in a smooth cycle, and the next one is in progress
right now.

The Earth has shifted 23 degrees as of last check, forcing airports in Florida (the first) to re-align their runways as they are aligned with magnetic North. This is necessary for navigating by instruments alone.
This southeastern shift also caused the Sun to rise 2 days early in Greenland, the first time in recorded history.

Can humans survive during a pole shift?
There is no exact answer, because it is not known how abruptly it could happen or how much damage it could do. An abrupt pole shift has not happened in earth's history and is very unlikely in the future. Pole shifts do happen, but are not devastating at all and are barely noticeable.
Will the pole shift kill us?
There is no way to tell but there was a pole shift 800 million years ago the pole shift could cause things like floods or even change our tilt it may even make us spin forever no one knows, it might not even happen so don't worry about it it could be millions of years before it does hope that helps

A pole shift is not what causes the continents to move. It is the pressures from under the oceans' plates.
What is the Magnetic Pole Shift rate?
South Pole ~6.5km / year
What is pole shifting?
The pole shift hypothesis is the conjecture that the axis of rotation of a planet has undergone relatively rapid shifts in location. For the Earth, such a dynamic change could create calamities such as massive floods and large scale tectonic events.The evidence shows that no rapid shifts in the Earth's pole have occurred during the last 200 million years. The last rapid shift in the poles may have occurred 800 million years ago,
