Check IRCC processing times. Different for each country. Assume eligibility review is complete if asking about passport request.

I was asking to hear about everyone's personal experience in timeline, applying from different African countries. IRCC processing times aren't really accurate.

Ok. Africa has so many countries with different embassies processing visas so someone in Egypt may have very different times than someone in Uganda or South Africa. There are so many threads on different processing offices so may get a better response if you search for the thread on Kenya processing office.

Non of the IRCC processing time is accurate atleast nowadays as I checked.

Eg: UAE & Qatar processing time is 320+ days but I saw in another thread here someone in UAE got the OPR within 4months, while some of us from Qatar waiting for morethan 8months.

So these PT is completely unpredictable
