Me: Canadian
Husband: Indian, working in Qatar
App Rcvd: Oct. 26, 2012
RPRF Paid: Feb 11, 2013
Application in Delhi for processing: May 11, 2013
2nd request for Passport (with deadline): June 2, 2013
Passport submitted to Delhi: July 1, 2013
My husband had to travel to India to submit his passport for the final PR visa sticker. He did this upon receiving a second request for his passport with a deadline. Has anyone else had this experience? How long did it take to process?
I've heard from a Foreign Service Worker rep that the strike action is causing delays to be about double the normal processing times and it's getting worse. With a new Immigration Minister and the Treasury Board standing firm it looks like the strike could go into the fall.
