Hi Yaye,

I thought I had replied you... sorry for the late response. I haven`t gotten news from Dakar yet. Our file was sent there last month, so we are waiting to get acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) from them. Does Dakar issue AOR?

Congrats osdamour!

@senoritabella I don't think so if Dakar issue AOR , but you can send an email to see if they had it and can also ask the process time

It's been 10 months since dakar has my file. The day before the PPR I sent an email to dakar to have information on my file because many people from late april 13 were receiving PPR and the next day they sent me the PPR :) . They ask for additional documents like background check from Gabon and update on some documents I already submit with my application. I will sent the whole package next week.
Thank you.

Congrats again oadamour! So good to see your timeline, took 10 months from SA to PPR... that is really good considering the CIC website says 23 months for processing.

Hi Yaye,

Hope you hear from them soon. Have you ordered your GCMS notes to see what is going on with your file? I haven't heard any news from them about application, but then again we are just a few months into the process. Someone said here a while back that CIC will be sending more visa officers to Dakar... does anyone know if this actually happened?
