Since August 8th?? Oh My.. I submitted mine on August 24th it arrived at vfs on the 28th and dispatched to the High Commission on August 29th... I am hoping to get it within a month, but seeing your timeline it scares me and I have my flight booked for October 19th...
is yours a PR visa?
Yes spousal pr outside Canada. Mostly people are getting their passports back in 15 to 20 days. Mine is exception.

Usually it takes 15 working days (Mon to Fri). Even if you add additional time for dispatching you should be fine.

This is surprising! I emailed high commision re my PP submission and they replied next day with suffecient information.

Hey did you receive your passport? I am on the same boat. I've been waiting for almost 19 days now and there are no news regarding my passport. Can you please tell me about it?
