I have no idea why this is taking so long!

For South Africs it is estimated at 2 weeks and when we applied it was estimated at 4 days, thank you! I hope you get an answer soon as well

My friend applied from South Africa on February 18th and still no update for him either. 2 CSE have been sent as well as emailing... hopefully you don't end up waiting as long as us. It has now been 135 days

Hello it's me again unfortunately haha So it's been 130 days as of tomorrow, still no updates or replies, I wanted to ask if it's possible for my mom to try calling canada visa with his application number and say we have been waiting and anticipating a visit from my friend for almost 5 months...

No problem at all, just need your advice and opinion on something, thank you again! :)

Hey @Bryanna I really don't want to keep bothering you, but I had sent you a message regarding something I would like to find out, if whenever you have a chance you could have a look for me, much appreciated :)

Okay, his mom is his representative so he will be having a call with her on Saturday so hopefully she can email them asap, This wait is so much longer and more difficult then I expected. Every day its constant fear of when we will get an answer and if it will be a positive one, keeping my...

Thank you again @Bryanna Any chance you have any advice on what we could email the Pretoria Visa office? Not entirely sure what we should say

So my friend has applied from south africa on February 18/2018 and review of eligibility has been on for a long time, and still days processing application, and have sent a CSE... it's now been 106 days with no answer and there is no background or security check happening, is this normal?

Sorry @canuck_in_uk I forgot I already replied Haha

He has a visitor visa application in processing which has been processing for 104 days now and if he renews his passport he would need to reapply for the visitor visa with his new passport number, we have been waiting so long so we dont want to cancel his one application now to wait another 4 months

There is currently a visitor visa processing for him and we've been waiting 3.5 months for an answer already and he would need to reapply for a new visa if he renewed his passport wouldn't he?

It is more so just because of the cost of going all the way back home just to renew his passport as we would much rather have him stay here

Yes completely understandable but we would intend to go back for a visit someday but honestly want him to move here to be with me. I am a Canadian citizen and dont want to move to south africa, his criminal record would come back spotless. He worked in Canada and the US last year for a course...

Awesome thank you so much for your help!

Thank you both for that information! That is very helpful! @Rob_TO @canuck_in_uk So if he applies for PR before his passport expires and it gets approved, then he can stay here as a PR without having a valid passport?

@Bryanna maybe you know something or know somebody who does? Just not sure how to research this and we are curious to know if it's even possible

My fiance and I want to get married. I am a canadian citizen and he is from South Africa. We want to apply for PR for him once married, and are wondering if there are ANY options or LEGAL ways for him to not have to go back to S.A. once his passport expires. Is it possible for him to get a...

My friend has now been waiting 92 days, no background check or security check in place. Just been waiting so long with no update. He applied online Feb.18 /2018, it's so hard to be waiting this long.
