Very similar!! Find your local Member of Parliament in Canada to call them for you, that is what I did. Go talk to them, I found that helpful.
Yes it is very stressful, I have seen applicants after me who got their DM. The worse part they do not update my file it gives me more stress.
Good luck to us
Hi, would you be able to explain what do you mean by "a local member of parliament"? Thanks

Go on google to find out who is your local MP, you will get their number then call them
ex for me I live in Gatineau I typed "Gatineau MP " then I got their contact

Wife just picked up her passport today.
We sent in the application February 27, 2018. so 6 months & 10 days in all! Must say that I'm very impressed with IRCC

Good luck to everyone in here in their applications. I wish that all of you be reunited with your loved ones and start your new lives in Canada as successfully and as soon as possible!

Hi, how was your overall experience with the Pretoria VO? We are applying outland from South Africa and our visa office is Pretoria. Are the visa officers in Pretoria local (South Africans)? Would be interesting to know, we were wondering about this last week.
 
My BGC started Today. How many Days can wait for PPR email?
