Regards,
Shweta

Hi Shweta,

I also read that it's a good idea to visit CHC in Pretoria, if you are nearby. You may be lucky to get a good officer who can help, as it is already 6 months. Someone in the other forum did this and that same week he got his BG in progress. Interesting hey...

Hi guys, does anyone know how long the Pretoria office takes to stamp the passport? They sent me a PPR with regards to my PR application about 10 days back, my passport has been with them since last Monday. Curious as I am trying to make travel plans and would like an approximate processing time.

Thank you!

anyone with any info on this? PPR sent on the 14th of July, Passport arrived at the embassy on the 17th, no updates other than VFS's website saying that the application is being processed at the Canadian visa office, PRETORIA.

Thanks guys!

So you are about to cross the 3 weeks processing time.
