MR was requested a year after application date. During that time processing was 16 months yet they got PPR after 18 months and then on processing chnged to 18 months. This is frustrating.
I hope they it will be only few months after medicals as my few of my friends been waited for 8 months to get PPR. And still one is waiting 11 month post Medical.
They should have somehow do some background check before ME however it all depends on the officer. But PCC were asked few months after AOR, well thats how most applicants i guess.
