Hi, we are in the same situation but in two different countries. My wife lives in hargeisa and she got approved in december. I paid the IOM fees early december, and till now we are waiting for her single journey document. I heard it can take up 60 days.
hello mom2016,

i have a question regarding the passport. Do they request for the somali passport to attach or stamp the visa or do they send something completely different for those travelling from places like hargeisa? ...since they don't recognize the Somali passport. Thanks in advance! :)

They might request the Soomaali passport; however once they receive the passport and since they don't recognize it, they will ask you to deal with IOM office in Ottawa, who will instruct you to pay the ticket funds to IOM headquarters in New York. When the IOM NY receives the ticket funds, they will confirm with the High Commission in Nairobi, who will then start the process of single journey travel document and confirmation for permanent residence visa. This will take up to two months.

We did what I just wrote above in December 2016. And we landed on February 23rd. I travelled with my spouse and daughter from Nairobi.
