What is PER????

I just got a letter confirming that I am eligible for further processing for PhD stream. My application is sent to visa office. Is it PER or what??

Yes, that's the so called "PER" --- Positive Eligibility Review. Congratulations. ;)

Well, maybe they performed background check first and then snow-walker will get his medical soon.
Actually, I think they perform background check before sending medical request. PCC is a part of the background check and PCC request before MR seems more logical to me. I myself was prepared to get PCC request before MR.

Normally, we would get 2nd AOR (acknowledgement of receipt) after PER, but apparently, it would not be the case, at least, not for PhD stream applicants who sent their applications to Ottawa (Buffalo). So, if you didn't include bank statement or PCC with your application, then Ottawa would probably send you a request for these documents, otherwise, most likely it would skip straight to medical (such as what had already happened with jessiezz and ejamal). To check your online status, use the following link:

Yeah, I suppose it makes sense, even though I've heard people getting their applications the other way around. Anyway, should we then start putting red for people that have heard something from Ottawa, but not yet received medicals?

I haven't included my PCC either, I wonder if I should send it to them before they ask to speed things up!?

Has anyone contacted CPPO? I don't find any phone number (just fax).
I remember couple of people talked about contacting them to see where their application is, what number did you call?

HI AF,

I email them and they reply in 3 days. As long as your are not asking about a submitted application with the time frame (processing time) they will most probably reply to you

yes, I did email them today, but I was confused with this "within processing time" business! aren't all of our applications within processing now? I hope they respond anyway.

Thanks you guys provide some much valuable information.

I filed the application for FSW3 on May 23 2012, got credit card charged on May 31, and received my PER today(June 8). I only use TA and RA experience. only 1 applicant in my application.

A question: If received PER, does this means that I got at least 67 points, or did they check the points yet? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I just want to share with you what i have. Ottawa visa office requested a bank statement and that was on the 7th of this month. My application was received on 25th of Nov. and i got my PER on the 16th of March. Guess what! i am Egyptian not Iranian :D
