How long does it usually take to receive COPR after PPR?
We are living outside in Japan. We have to mail his passport/other documents to the visa office in Tokyo, and then they’ll mail his stuff to the embassy in Hong Kong.

I wonder if Hong Kong will process his COPR? Or if then Hong Kong will send everything to CPC Ottawa? The process is a bit confusing.

Depends on country and logistics but perhaps a couple of weeks. It's possible they will print the COPR etc in Tokyo, it can be done in any visa office.

Thanks for your response. I know this question has probably been asked hundreds of times.

I didn’t know the the visa office in Tokyo could process his COPR. For some reason I thought that it had to be sent all the way back to CPC Ottawa to be processed!

I believe in any visa office at a consulate or embassy where there is a visa section (even ones that don't normally process spousal files), they just need the visa printer equipment and the like. They may do locally or send to eg HK depending on things like covid shutdowns. But you submit to wherever they asked you to and they figure out how to handle.

This is to guage where my application stands and yes to prepare for the long wait ahead considering Ottawa VO processes applications leisurely.

Our letter had clear instructions about who to email if we couldn't meet the timeline. I suspect your's might have similar instructions.
