My husband received a permanent residence portal invitation and we submitted our file together in July 2021. I, his wife, and I have a child outside Canada. What are the next steps after making the decision for my husband? What are the next steps? Will they open my file? We follow the France office.
Expect to receive an additional information email soon

PPR is passport request, it takes 7/10 days to be stamped on it. Spousal got PPR request just after 5 month from the mail applicant got his PR.
Singapore is very fast.

Thank you, just to clarify PPR is passport request, so you send the passport and they stamp visa so they can travel to canada right? Do they give you a deadline to submit the passport and deadline to come to canada? or can be done any time after stamped.
Thanks

Pr journey for Main and overseas family started at the same time where main applicant got his PR at 18 month and overseas families got it at 23 month.
Family file sent to singapore office after the main applicant got his COPR that means technically overseas family's professing begins after the 18th month but i guess its not the math.in Canada office must did the primary work from the day one and singapore office just did the finishing Touch.
I must say my family was very lucky because their file must be handled by a generous and kind officer.

so why does Accra take forever. I have been on my own for 45 months now PR application started in March 2021 for both main applicants and dependants outside Canada, Only Biometrics has been done. We did upfront medicals last year which has now expired. Why the long wait ?

What is time line exactly? Did you got Your PR yet? As you are the main applicant, you should be qualified as a PR first, then your spouse file will be sent to correspendent office. So far i knew from this forum, African region visa processing is relatively slower than Singapore office. It might be for many reasons. A pile of application, shortage of processing officer etc might be the reason for delaying. But if you got your PR in IPP or any special project, things could be done in a shorter period

I am not the main applicant I am the spouse of the main applicant. My husband got his PR since 2021 after which our file was sent to Acccra Ghana. All these processes started 45months ago.

I guess you and your family were in the Pilot Program. The speed of processing is different from what we have witnessed here.
