[shwetasagar]

Hello,

I'm a May applicant (AOR May 10) residing in Zimbabwe. My VO is most likely to be Pretoria. Haven't had any updates since May when my background changed to 'not needed' couple days after medicals passed. Hoping to get PPR in two weeks!

hey wicked31,

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 shado,

No i havent ordered a GCMS notes yet. I am thinking of doing one. last time i heard was it was taking 9 months to process. so its good if they process it in 6 months. i will cross my 6 months in another few days. Just hoping that i get my PPR soon!!

All the best to u too!! will surely keep u all updated on my progress.

Regards,
Shweta

Then he should plan to visit asap.

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!
