Hi all, 
After a long time, I am visiting this thread. Now my husband is here in Canada.  After passport submission, it took almost 6 weeks for us to get the passport back, as Chrismus holidays were there in that period. I have studied many cases, and I believe that time varies for each individual starting from  1 week to on an average up to 6 weeks. For unusual cases, I have seen wait-times of even 3 months also. My best luck and good wishes to all.
Regards
Tina

Thanks Markthomas..
but they hv not askd me for any docmnts except PP and forgn trvl details. If they hv to verify the medical rep. thn why they hv asked for PP and secondly how come they issue visa within 20days to one and to others they  are taking 4 -6 weeks or longer....hhuuu..... 
Just wait n pray....I think we dont have any other option except waiting.... and praying.....

Hi Rimpy and Mitchieline,
I have applied in Vienna office, under spousal sponsorship. in the last letter they sent me, they were just saying that in order to finalize my application process, they need my original passport. 
I know that there have been troubles with them not having received my medicals, they sent me a mail stating this and that they are keeping my passport for the time being, so I made sure the doctor sent the medicals in, but then it turned out she sent them to Ottawa instead of Vienna (Vienna has a medical processing centre of its own).. I have informed the office about this, that was around Feb 23rd, but got no answer from anyone since, so hopefully they at least read it... 
hopefully we all get our passports back soon, I know how it is to every day run with hope to check the mailbox
