Don't worry June19ers... it's only a matter of time... absolutely no reason to be sad!
I did speak to a CIC agent last Friday and she said it's a good sign that your app is in Ottawa VO.

If you see, the ITAs in March were the highest ever and that traffic is a bottleneck. Compared to previous months our batch will take longer to process. Also most of the Jan19ers are generally smarter that the others in this group (case in point Asivad [the smartest?], YamPower, Hopefulguy, Anuj...) and these are last people on earth who will make silly errors. In fact being a part of this batch gives me comfort and security that my app of all apps is the safest.

lol "smarter than others", that makes me feel........ less smart

but somehow, I agree with ullu_ka_pattha, these guys "are last people on earth who will make silly errors".

I would even go ahead and say that your applications are probably approved already, and they are just holding back the number of PPR's they issue.
Mine was showing as approved (to the CIC phone agent) on June 26. I only got the PPR on July 23. Go figure why it took so long to CIC to send me the PPR. The only logical explanation I can think of is that they are holding back on the number of PPRs.

Although I have received my so wanted PPR, I'm still anxious and looking forward to seeing you guys getting yours too.
We all deserve to wake up (or go to bed, depending on your time zone) with good news. And they are soon to come ;D

Hi,

How do you find out on the CIC site the exact dates that each section was updated in status.

Hi,

The only way is to obsessively login everyday and track the changes as they happen! ;D

Hi people,

I am new here.

I have a question for those who received PPR. How do you receive it? Does it come as an update on your online profile or do you receive a notification by email?

I submitted my application on April 20, Meds passed, BG check in progress. No other updates yet. I am getting a bit worried.... since I have to apply for BOWP before August 18, but have not received 2nd AOR yet .

Is anyone in the same situation like myself?

thanks guys

Thanks flavdcosta
So that's just passport request? It's not PPR yet?

It should be the same, what is the content of the letter? Are they asking you to send your passport or passport copies (if you are from a visa exempt country)

Yes, I am from visa exempt country. But still they request my original copy of passport
