I live in Quebec, Canada. My wife is in Makati City Philippines. her PPR date is 4 Jan. 2013. she sent her Passport, updated photos, NSO approved marriage certificate, CSQ Quebec Selection Certificate and completed a form requested by the Canadian Visa Office in Manila. Can someone tell me the approximate date when she will get her visa? We are planning a going away party at the Saint Andrews Parish in Makati and it would be a great benefit to have this information. Your help in this matter is appreciated. Thank you.
