Re: Time Line for PR via Spousal
PPR FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so over the moon, I burst into tears when hubby showed me the e-mail! We have our flights booked for July 6th! We called work and cancelled our shifts on Thursday and are off to drop off passport in person! We pick it up on the 1st of July, 5 days before we fly! What a deadline.
Thanks to everyone for listening to me moan, you deserve a medal! Good luck to those who are still waiting, it was like someone was pouring salt into my wounds when everyone else was getting PPR. Those feelings are all gone now and they will be for you very very soon! Keep your chins up, it will be your turn soon!
YAYAYAAAYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! We are on cloud 9, out tonight to celebrate! It is our one year anniversary on Saturday - what a great early anniversary gift for the two of us!

Re: Time Line for PR via Spousal
If any of you have flights already booked I would recommend the "drop off" route when you get your PPR rather than postal,
I've been waiting over seven weeks for passport to be returned and just received the following response from CHC London...
Please be advised that due to the volume of correspondence we are currently receiving, incoming documents (including passports) are taking up to 2 or 2.5 months to process. Once our mail department forwards your passport to the visa department, your passport and visa should be returned to you within a matter of weeks.

Re: Time Line for PR via Spousal
Got my PR today!
And I know that I should be excited, but it's actually the worst possible timing!
I have a flight booked for June 28th, so with that flight I won't be able to drop-off the passport and pick it up in time...to make matters worse, when I get to Canada I have a 3 week holiday in the States planned, so I would be cutting it really fine to have my passport in London by the 45 day deadline.
So, I have two options. Get my flight on June 28th, skip the holiday and wait 2 - 2.5 months for the passport to come back. Or, I cancel my flight (it's non-refundable and non-transferable) and get a new one for after I pick it up.
If I'd got this request a week ago I would be fine!
What's also odd is that they actually sent me the passport request in reply to an email I sent them yesterday changing my UK address to a Canadian one...makes you wonder whether those with a Canadian address are being processed any faster.
If anyone has any ideas I am currently wide open to them!

As you can see from my signature, I've been waiting a while, and still have no idea as to when the approval will be...
Good Luck to all.

"Please be advised that the application is with the immigration officer for review.
Yours sincerely,
ACD"
This has been going on since last year.
