Folks, here it is.
P to the P to the R!!!
Since the AoR, it took a total of 104 days, during which I killed an incalculable amount of my brain cells, going through many many comments from you all on this forum, wondering what kind of microscopic examinations and dissections were taking place on my innocent little application.
Then IRCC decides to have a little heart and issue me the PPR email, a day after my birthday. The best birthday gift in a long time. I strongly suspect it was the Thanksgiving pie which led them to it.
Stay strong you all; if you've taken care of all the required paperwork, not done a whole lot of hanky panky in your life previously and not done any misrepresentation in your application, you will get the PPR too in due course, God willing.
Here's to a bright and happy future for all of us in the Kingdom of Poutine.
