If all goes well you should get PPR within a few weeks.
Hopefully your spouse is not from Wuhan or other related areas?
That could be a problem !
She is in Beijing but I still see there is eminent threat everywhere in China. There is a possibility that WHO would declare this event as public health emergency of international concern and closes down traffic from china...:oops:

That hasn't happened yet. Good thing is your spouse can go directly to the Visa Center, pay the fees, and
hand deliver the passport for processing. If your'e concerned about crowds then will have to rely on the mail system.
Just make sure they have the correct return address for delivery.

The ' WHO ' was one of my favorite bands back in the day.o_O

Lots of ' fear mongering ' due to social media. Can't even buy a dust mask to work on vehicles.
Flights are being cancelled at YVR today ....Have to wait it out and see what happens in the next few weeks.
If this blows up then no one will be traveling anywhere.
