Sweetmine you are a life saver, I just read through it again and it only says Rabat office. woohoo PPR is coming in few weeks  . Have you heard anything recently regarding yours? Are you sending your pictures though? Keep me posted. In our case, they asked for my husband's daughter to redo her medical (we never got the letter as it was returned). Usually, when they ask you to redo medical, the visa office sends you a pre-filled form to take to the doctor (we don't have the form because the letter was returned). Thus, We contacted the visa office to ask whether we can just print the form available on the immigration website. Now we are expecting their response. |

It's good to have you as a new member Ilovewaiting. According to the past processing times, most people get their visas way less than it's written on the website and hopefully yours will be as fast as those too. Best of luck! |

Thanks for the encouragement.
I found a government stats website that lists the processing times for 20%, 50%, and 80% of cases for all visa offices.
Its way more detailed than the CIC website.
But the forum gives me a message that i can't post links.
Any suggestions how i can share it with you guys?

They block links to avoid the forums from being swamped by spammers....perhaps share the keywords you used to find it...there are round about ways of sharing.....
Still waiting for Pretoria....the silence is deafining.....Medicals were received in Feburary....since then we have had complete silence. We haven't even received the AOR from pretoria

For the gov processing times try this...
Google this phrase...... open data pilot project
The first google link should take u to the home page...then
In the keyword search bar in the middle of that page copy and paste this.... Permanent Resident Applications Processed Abroad and Processing Times - English Version
The search result should come out on top..click on it
Its a spreadsheet you can download.

Thanks I manage to download it. If you guys noticed what I saw, the approval rate of Pretoria is quite low compared to other VO's. Let keep praying that ours will be one of the quicker ones. |

They have recieved my medical, apart from that nothing. I am a bit worried though, i can't manage to wait too long because my south African study visa will run out soon. Just pray for us all. |

I could but I'm just praying that I won't have to. It's a pain to get renewal. |
