Processing time of PRTD application - Hong Kong VAC

[MaggieL]

Hello
Does anyone know approximately how long it will take for the PRTD in HK？

Early Feb - submitted docs to the VAC HK
Two days later, received email from the application centre saying that additional document is required. And this additional information needs 3 weeks for the HK govt to provide
Early Mar - sumbitted the additional informatiom to the VAC HK

Up to now , still no news on my application.
Does anyone know the processing time ？
Thank you very much .

Did you ever live in Canada with your spouse after you got PR? How long? Time abroad with Canadian spouse is not guaranteed to count towards RO.

hi. Can you tell me what else documents you need to submit? Did you mail it to HK or email to that email address? The resident in mainland can only submit the request by email though.

May I know how come “ time aboard with spouse is not guarantee to count towards RO?”

Reading through this thread would provide some good background on why/how not all time abroad with a Canadian citizen spouse will enable you to comply with RO.

Who accompanied whom is one issue and whether you ever settled in Canada before accompanying your spouse abroad is also a factor. When applying to getPR for your spouse you have to show that you intend to relocate to Canada once your spouse gets PR. Too many couples didn’t move back to Canada and so you now need very concrete proof of your plans to return to Canada once your spouse gets PR to be approved.

If you stayed in Canada for a few years after getting PR and then moved for your husband’s job you should be fine

There is a VAC centre in HK . Becos of Covid , all documents need to be submitted by mail starting Mar 3.

PRTDs without H&C often take weeks to months (mostly during Covid). Would count processing time from early March when you had to submit additional info. Given the Covid situation on HK there will likely be some delays although the HK office is not known to be overly slow.
