Hi guys, does anyone have any idea about how long NDVO is taking to return passports as of late?

We submitted on Oct 30th at VFS Pune. Tracking number said it reached NDVO on Oct 31st. The guy at the VFS said that it would take 10 working days. Today is the 10th working day and we don't have any updates.

Sorry to bog this forum with this silly question (silly because in the grand scheme of things, my problem is a small one...I know some of you are still waiting on PPRs from Jan and Feb. Wish you the very best). I am asking because I have a very limited time to book a plane ticket.
The thing is within a span of few weeks they have sent out "n" number of PPR requests to applicants from Jan-Apr. And everyone would have submitted their passports. So it's going to take atleast 2 weeks. I'm from Bangalore I was told
15-20 days

Thank you for your reply. It's good to know that your VFS office said 15-20 days (including weekends?).

You are absolutely right in that the number of PPRs as of late has been surprisingly high. I have been watching this forum for over a year and this is quite an unusual volume for NDVO.

I have edited my signature and also posting it below for your reference.

April 13th - Application Received
May 19th - AOR1
May 25th - SA
May 25th - ECAS In Process
June 18th - Background Check
June 27th - AOR2
Nov 13th - Pre arrival services email in GCKey / DM in ECAS
My timeline is similar to yours (my application was received a day earlier) but it got transferred to NDVO first week of Sept so I'm not expecting DM any time soon

However what's worrying me is that even though the Mississauga office acknowledged receiving medical results they did not update my file and it still says medical pending

Anyone else here in a similar situation?

Gckey updates are not trustworthy. sometimes it doesn't update anything and directly sends PPR. So don't go by gckey. Check on ecas.
