Hey guys,
I wanted to update everyone and let you know that my wife received her PPR after a long 16 month wait. Alhumdulillah! I cannot thank Allah enough.
My case went beyond the normal processing time compared to many members here who received much earlier, but when its time its time. Hang in there everyone, it will come! And for the ones that are still waiting and your processing time is nearing, I would highly advise you to go see your local MP. I would like to add that each MP is different in terms of helping out. I was thankful to have an MP office that was very proactive and very helpful in following up and getting back to me on a timely manner. The MP can definitely push the visa office to move the file faster if the processing time is near or past it. If your file is within processing time, then chances are they will say to wait and see.
For the ones that have received the PPR, how did you guys send the passport? Did you go through Aramax? Or go in person to a local VAC, what's better?
