I passed the medical on 6 November. Still waiting for a passport request. Usually how long it takes after passing the medical?

Hey! Although it varies depending on each case and where it’s processed, here is a link from cic’s website where it says “about 3 months”
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=983&top=4
The link is in reference to how long it takes to get medical update i.e. medical passed. It is not how long PPR takes after medicals, there is no such information on CIC.
For your reference, Medical done in early Oct 2019. Received Copr on 14 Jan., 2020. VO in Hong Kong.

Thank you but the certificate I’m talking about here is from my home country Nigeria not Canada, I really do not understand the adaptability point you raised.
My question again, I’m married and Hubby’s level of education is BSc but his certificate isn’t ready and it will take a while before we can get it. I wouldn’t want us to wait for the certificate before submitting the application. Can we go ahead and submit without his certificate and raise LOE? I’m sure by the time they will request for it, it will be ready. Or should we wait and make sure the certificate is ready and add to our application (though we avoiding waiting for the certificate before submission because of timing), the process to get the certificate takes a long time.
Are you the main applicant or your husband? If it is you then go ahead
