    April 2015 application for a spouse who lives in South Africa!waiting is a drug!

    every case is unique. I didnt hear anything for 3 months, and then it was all done within a month after they asked for passport. It all depends on completeness of application, and supporting evidence etc, but generally you should be processed within 6-12 from date they received it in missisauga
