I did before I asked the question :), I am not familiar with CSQ term. I remember seeing people getting PPR who did medical in Feb/March 2012. So you should be soon, may be a month or two :).

(or at least i got the nasty "filling documents correctly"-part done...)

It provides you details about your clarity in regard to your due dates and any comments made by the VO. Didnt they ask you for your police certificate? I think that was a few months ago..
Yes, I sent it to them in July and they confirmed receiving it.

I think after May transfers it should be july transfers turn, as I dont think there were any june transfers? The file transfer took 1 month itself from Buffalo..

Did you contact Ottawa yet? The problem is July transfers havent started getting PPR so we dont know when should we expect anything. I do know that we might see getting extension of 3 months after our medicals expire. So, if you did your medicals in September, hopefully, should hear something before year end!

Medicals are medicals in the end, if they are expired most probably you should get an extension. I was thinking, lets say 3 months extension is granted, does it mean maximum it should take 3 months to hear from them?
sharuu did ottowacontact you and tell you they will extend your medicals..? or did you atleast contact them
