Unfortunately my waiting has not come to an end. ???
Today I called CIC and asked about my application. The operator on the phone informed me that the background check is still going on and indicated that processing time can vary from case to case. After the phone call I had the feeling that I did not get any information that I had not known before. Although I was not expecting to obtain any particular insight it was quite disappointing and I felt quit helpless because there is NOTHING than waiting! And apparently that's what I will be doing for a certain time!

Sorry to hear that again, Matt.

I got no news. Many people (6 PNP-Inlanders I know from the forum) received PPR yesterday night!

Matt you need to check with CIC what is the issue with your application. It seems PNP applications have started to move. Let us hope that it continues. I told everybody on this forum to wait till 3rd April and it is happening now.

They definitely will have a better answer for you once you cross the 6 month mark. However, I really hope that you get your PPR before that happens!

Group name: "PNP Secure Outstanding"
Same group as me Brother, have faith, we will get there, all the Best!
 
Congratulations to ALL PPRs, so the April 3rd date was real, a batch of PNP-I was processed and CIC agents knew that 2 weeks in advance.

For those still waiting like me, let's keep sharing news, hopes and keep checking our inboxes every 5 minutes (maybe that's just me).

Good luck all!

My AOR Date was 23 Jan 2017. I am in same state not even medicals passed. From the tracker i can see some one else with same date had their medicals passed on 3 Apr 2017. I am getting worried now, if they forgot my file or if any other problem. I too am not sure what to do.

I am so disappointed and almost lost my entire motivation due to this long processing of CIC. Honestly, my enthusiasm and euphoria to become a part of Canada quite shaken! Provincial nomination process made me feel a part of my province. But the federal level of immigration process is almost hostile because it feels you as if you are a criminal or a security risk. This is annoying and making Canada look bad. CIC is not Canada, but it is one of the doors/windows of Canada opening to the world, and it is representing this country, damn! I think this is not good for adaptation of immigrants and identity-building process of immigrants.
Whatever the reason might be for the delay, giving PR status can be much faster (as in other countries that are competing with Canada!). I know countries that process even citizenship applications in 3 months (I am talking about processing times after the application)!
Those things are some points I started to think about after I reached my 6 months of processing time.
Anyways, thank you Andre.
I hope we can still get it in a reasonable time.
But if you ask me I don't feel the same way anymore as when I started my provincial level immigration process.

Hey man, is your work permit expiring soon? If not, don't worry about it too much. I am, too, looking forward to the day that I can call myself Canadian and this alone makes me impatient. But at the end of the day we will get it.

Meanwhile you can watch some Cem Yilmaz to cheer you up :P
 
I can understand the despondency that develops as a result of how slow things have been for PNP Inlands. However, it's usually towards the end of the tunnel that we must have some hope and faith in the system. I know CIC hasn't given our batch priority, but I am certain that most of us who have waited this long will end up receiving their PPR at some point. Good luck to everyone who is waiting :)
