Good luck to everyone awaiting PPR, your day will come soon!
Congrats on PPR!!!
I am not certain how long it takes, but from past applicants who have submitted it has been an average of two to three weeks. My passport was submitted on the 18th and is being processed.

Once you have sufficient points, you should get AOR on the same day in which the draw was done. You will then receive an ITA. After you submit all your documents, you will receive an AOR and it usually takes 6 months from the AOR date for your application to get approved.
Thank you for the response. Finalizing my application and looking forward to the next draw.

Hi all, just wanted to let you guys know I picked up my passport today. I ended up contacting the high commission via phone, and they advised me to send them an email marked urgent querying the passport’s location. As it turns out, it was at the VAC and available for collection for almost a month. So if anyone else has the same issue, talk to the high commission or go in person to the VAC. They sometimes do not update the tracking.
Can you tell me how long it took High Commissioner to stamp the passport and return to VAC, after they received it?

Hi all, this may sound like a silly question but with regards to the police clearance certificate, is it the certificate of character you need to submit? I'm from Trinidad and Tobago.

Yep. The little slip that says your name and no convictions.

Hey Guys

AOR 17 February 2019
3 days left to make 6months

So I spoke with a really awesome agent today. My total wait time was approximately 20mins.
She was as thorough as can be so I commended her.

She indicated that since I have 3 days left, she can not take any action (I am guessing- contacting an officer re: my application). She told me that I should call back mid September for an update. My application may take 7 months.

Note the following:
Eligibility: Recommended Passed
Medical: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Security: Not yet started.
She indicated that security will start only when my eligibility is confirmed as Passed.

Fingers crossed that I will have some good news soon. I hope this helps.

Has anyone recently received their passport with COPR from Port of Spain VO. If so how long did it take.

We submitted ours on the 2nd of July and it's currently being processed in Sao Paolo when tracked.
