A month doesn't make a great deal of difference in a skilled worker app, but if you think how many people have been getting approved in Mississauga, sent to London and their PPR within 1 month, you can see a lot can change!!

Re: Anyone heard from Mississauga
To those who received an e-mail (or other contact) from the CHC to say their PPR was on its way...how long did you have to wait before the PPR actually turned up in the post?
We desperately want to land on the 7th of May. Our application has been in process in London since the 6th of Feb, all fees are paid, etc. We're hoping that we'll get some word of approval within the next 2 weeks, then allowing a few weeks to get the visa itself, but I'm just wondering what the delay in the PPR letter might be...
We're in the UK, so obviously post takes a lot less time than to go to Canada (it does come from London, doesn't it?).

Re: Anyone heard from Mississauga
Cov-Canuck,
I didn't get any indication that I'd be getting the PPR before it actually arrived in the post. But if it helps at all, it was 38 days from our AOR that we actually received it. I think it all happens very quickly.
We sent my partner's passport to them last Monday (now 8 days later), and I'm hoping to have it back sometime this week. Of course, the letter they sent us said they aimed to have it back to us in 30 days. But they also said his application could take 6 months, and it clearly took much less than that.
By the way, we're spending our final week in England down in Rugby, so not far from you! Good luck with your application!

London have been taking around 40 days on average for spousal applications (based on dates obtained from here for about half a dozen people), and we've now gone above this. Mississauga also took longer than expected to process...I wonder what it is about our application that makes it extra complex?

I'm also hoping to land early May, so I sympathise with you. I've decided there's no point trying to second-guess what's going on with mine, as I've no idea of their processes and why some apps take longer than others.
I'm trying not to think about it 24/7, but it's hard! So hang in there, I'm sure it'll come through soon

Congratulations!! Really pleased for you (though thoroughly depressed now!)
Will have to take some of my own advice and just hang in there.
Enjoy your celebrations tonight
