Hi all, I am Feb 2019 applicant. I just got to know my files are now transferred to Sydney, Aus. Reading through the earlier pages, it seems to me that I may need to wait bit more. Any Jan Feb applicants here got PPR already?
Thanks

Guys I submitted my passports to Sydney Australia VAC on 7th September. Just wanted to check how long it takes for passports to come back with stamping. Other visa offices are only taking maximum 10 days for visa stamping. I applied for Permanent Residency visa online. I am PNP outland candidate.

Hi,
Can you tell me how much time it took for you to get your passport back stamped from VAC Sydney, Australia ?

Man, some of these timelines do not give me a whole heck of a lot of hope.
Canadian Sponsor and Australian PA both living in Brisbane, Australia - application received in Sydney, NS on 15/08/2019.

Guess we really could be here for the full year

Sponsor: Canadian PR
Applicant: Australian Citizen

Application received: January 23, 2019
AOR : March 14, 2019
Medical: March 15, 2019
Sponsor Approval : March 14, 2019
Biometric Request: March 15, 2019

Waiting for the file to be transferred to Sydney, Australia.

You received a PPR? Was your PA asked for the passport or a copy of it? I was under the impression as a visa free country, Australians didn't have to send their passport off.
