so if the processingtime is16 months that meansi will get my ppr within 16 months?
If you are a 2011 applicant, I would doubt that. The timeline is an estimate which says how long 80% of the cases took, if you are referring to Buffalo's timeline that. It is just an estimate and nothing more or less. I have been waiting for more than 18 months.

pls note Sharuu's response. 2011 applicants processing time are off the hook, and unpredictable.

I think when a VO reviews the file, then only the Seconday VO becomes Detroit. Another way to see is if ECAS goes to In Process.

When the file leaves Buffalo, Primary office is made to be Ottawa and Secondary is Buffalo. Once the file gets reviewed in Ottawa, secondary changes to Detroit as thats where the file is headed. Once PPR is issued, Primary is Detroit and Secondary would be where the file will be permanently placed once file is complete.

You can evaluate your case based on Secondary VO. Looking at your case, file hasnt been reviewed yet at Ottawa.

Re: BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing dow

I think u r right. For security it says not started yet, i hope its just not updated. They started criminality on 28th sep 2011 and RCMP checks are completed on 29 sep 2011.

Criminality was done Sep 28 2011 and due date 28 sep 2012... Coincidince? No, apart from medical, criminality - it also is valid for 1 year, thats why. Buffalo gave a due date 1 year from when the file was created to put in under due date. It doesnt mean much to be quite honest.

Unless a VO doesnt review your case in Ottawa and assign a due date, you shouldnt really look much into it.
