Hello Qorax,

First of all i will thank you for providing details on background and security check, here is the details of my PNP case:

Application received on 7th December 2010
AOR and MEdical done in July 2011
ECase updated to Medical Received in October 2011, and was asked for paying right of landing fees and my wife's Police Clearance Certificate (Originally i didn't provide her PCC).
I provided the requested document and landing fees in November 2011. Since it was bank draft, i knew from bank that bank draft was cashed plus it was express post so it was delivered in November 2011.

Since then i haven't hear anything from them, i send couple of emails to buffalo VO and received auto reply. Sent an email to Catherine she works as Immigration Program Manager in buffalo on 8th May 2012, she replied my file needs to be sent to Ottawa office for additional background check. here is her reply:

"You are correct that your case is still in progress. Your application requires background checks involving other government departments and this inevitably lengthens processing. Unfortunately we no longer complete those checks ourselves so your file will be transferred to the Central Processing Pilot Office in Ottawa. You will hear from that office in due course."

from her reply, what i understand is the file is not yet been sent to Ottawa Office. I asked my local MP office for updates as well on 3rd of May 2012, i called to my local MP office today to know abt status, unfortunately they haven't heard anything from CIC yet but she told me your file is processed in Ottawa. I see conflict information here, Catherine replied me on 8th May and she said my file will be transferred but from my local MP's office i heard my file is already in Ottawa. Now i don't know how many months more it will take.

I will really appreciate if you can shed some light on detail above.

Thanks,
Affi

But my application is Ontario PNP that means they have to give PR within 15months. Are you sure?
