Good Day everyone. Can someone please furnish me a link to the forum for CIC applicants with AOR in November? Is there any forums for people with South African VO?

Hi kbanks007,

There is a thread with the name AOR Novemeber here in the Express entry subsection.. you can see that for other Nov applicants. There is SACanada forum too exclusively for people from SA with VO pretoria.

As for me, I am in same boat.. AOR Nov 12th 2015.. Dec 4th application transferred to Pretoria and then absolutely nothing. Sent a CSE April end, no reply yet for that.

Donno whats happening in Pretoria VO - either extremely inefficient or extremely busy with something else.. god knows ::)

cheers

It sure is insane. The wait is pretty overwhelming. All we can do is pray and wait. Calling or sending a CSE hasn't really helped my cause. Their answers kind of leaves you more confused. No concrete information is divulged. There is definitely something wrong with the Pretoria Office. Most of my buddies with Ghana VO received their PPR in less than 4 months :(.

Hey Everybody

Just found this SA link & I see that everybody seems to be waiting a looong time for PPR to come through.
It would appear that the paper based applications and also certain PNP's (Ontario) through EE takes a while.

Any updates for anyone?

Hang in there, you are much closer to finish line than me. :D

Hi Guys,

I got my
AOR 4th may 2016,
RPRF 7th June 2016
meds done upfront and passed.
BG not needed

And I am still awaiting for next step.
Any idea how long is it taking currently?

I am an Indian national currently residing in South Africa on a work permit. Do I get my PPR from SA Visa office or will it be India?

Regards,
Shweta

Hi everyone,

I thought it would be a good idea to know the processing timelines for applicants from South Africa. I am from the March group and would like some glimmer of hope from fellow applicants :D.

Thanks and best of luck to us all.
Hey hey

We are currently in the pool. We submitted our EE profile on the 22nd of October 2016 with a score of 481. We are from North-West Province.

What is the status of your application? Did you receive an ITA?
