    Congrats, Booj!! All the best to you .. and Thanks for sharing your good news with us. This is very promising that's the fourth ppr (well from people in this forum) from Ankara if I am not mistaken.

    Totally agreed. So far there has been at least three people who got their ppr from Ankara, so that invalidates this news at least for Ankara.

    Thanks Jay, I am at least glad to hear his apologies, I know it means nothing to us and our loved ones ..... and thanks to those from here & elsewhere who took the time and voiced their concerns there, we have to continue raising awareness so they'll act more responsibly.

    Thanks for sharing Tony! Some very well written comments. I urge everyone to participate in such activities, we have to voice our concerns and frustration, or else no one will care to know the depth of the problem.

    Thanks for sharing and thanks for writing, I believe efforts like yours and that of Jay, will eventually lead to improvements of the process at least in long-term. I'll wait till 14 months of wait is completed; when it is, I plan to write and publish and take the matter to press/media if I have to.

    First Congrats to Zeinab :) Thanks Jay for following this up, have you considered CBC's Anna Maria Tremonti; she has a great show every morning called the Current; and pursues all kinds of cases/issues. I can help write a letter if you reckon this useful.

    Doesn't sound very reliable, first it says: سازمان مهاجرتی کانادا اکسپرت" اقدام به تهیه زمانبندی جدید پرونده‌های مهاجرتی نموده است" then they say their source is: منبع: وزارت مهاجرت و شهروندی کانادا Unless we see such link on their site, it's hard to believe such news!
