Sure, I can try to shed some light on this recent trend.
It is true that in the past, RROC would often send out multiple ADRs before confirming an application and issuing a PPR. However, it seems that IRCC has recently changed their processing procedures. Now, applications are often marked complete before being sent to RROC. This means that RROC does not need to send out ADRs, as they can simply review the application and issue a PPR if they are satisfied that all of the requirements have been met.
I am not sure why IRCC has changed their processing procedures, but it is possible that they are trying to streamline the process and make it more efficient. However, it is also possible that this is causing delays for some applicants, as RROC may be taking longer to review applications that are marked complete.
I have seen some reports of applicants waiting for more than a month without receiving a PPR after their application has been marked complete. However, I have also seen reports of applicants receiving their PPRs within a few weeks of their application being marked complete. So, it seems that there is some variation in the processing times.
If you are in a similar situation, I would recommend that you continue to check your online application tracker for updates. If you do not receive your PPR within the next few weeks, you can contact IRCC for an update.
Here are some tips for contacting IRCC:
- You can call IRCC's Contact Centre at 1-888-242-2100.
- You can send an email to IRCC's webform.
When you contact IRCC, be sure to provide your AOR number and the date your application was marked complete. This will help IRCC to track down your application and provide you with an update.
I hope this helps!
