Hello all, just to update you that passport is sent to the high commission as of Monday, October 17. Can anyone here let me know how long it typically takes for the visa to be issued? The other concern I have is that DHL where I am based (Senegal) don't do prepaid envelopes. I did pay for a return service, but the way this works is that once the visa is ready to be picked up (i guess AVO will let me know its ready) I have to call DHL here, who then call DHL in Ghana. DHL in Ghana then goes to the embassy to pick up the package for delivery. Just curious if this is the same process those who have received PPR went through? look forward to hearing from you all.

@coalhouse 65, my update should help out. PPR received 3/10/2016 passport sent 4/10/2016, pickup mail received 14/10/16 I went back to Dhl to tell them to pick up my passport on 17/10/2016 and today 20/10/2016 I received my passport back to the glory of God. It has ended in praise. Please while travelling, is there minimum amount I should be with or I can travel with any amount?

Hello Labelle, thank you so much for your prompt response which is very helpful. Safe travels to Canada, and wish you a smooth landing process. Just curious, whereabouts in Canada are you headed? I will be headed to Alberta if all goes well. Cheers.

Hello Forum, I have been following you in silence since April 2016 and I just want to let every one here know you are doing a good job. Anyways I applied to sponsor my wife in April 2016 and I am already tired on the wait times. I am unable to even link her application and so it's frustrating unable to get any information regarding her application status apart of that they started processing it in June 2016. Anyways am in Alberta and those coming to Alberta soon are highly welcomed. Just be prepared for the cold you will be coming into. :D :D

There is every possibility for you to receive SA this month or early next month if your spouse is found eligible to sponsor you. So don't worry keep cam, you soon start counting months and days.

Hey colmiz, we applied at the end of August. I am also sponsoring my husband from Ghana. I hear you on the anxious part! I think I've only just started to calm down a little, now that our file has been transferred. It took us 35 days from the time they received ours until we got SA/file transfer. We wish you the best of luck! This is a great group! :D
