At this moment, I wish to hear something. Even if it is a 'NO PR'.
Just tired of waiting! waiting!! waiting!!!

I wonder why CPP-O was not programed to handle the Buffalo files appropriately
before they were transferred.

Hi,
The processing time has changed in the CIC website. They added CPP-Ottawa which is 9 months for QSW and 11 for PNP. What does it mean for the files that were transferred from Buffalo?
Thank you for your input

Hi,

Since the timeline for PNP is now 11 months, when do we start to count? Is is from the date application was received or the date we received acknowledgement of receipt?

That 9 month time includes the time the application stays in nova scotia , after which a transfer to Ottawa happens and CPP-O sends the AOR and medical forms.
We are all past those steps..in our case CPP-O should take less than that probable 6 months or even less.

Waiting
Good news guys. Just got my most expected email for last couple of months. really excited... at last the wait seems over.
even though in the email it showed me they haven't received my RPRF (spouse) which I paid two months ago. Don't know how to solve this issue. But will figure it out very soon I guess.. I haven't read the whole message yet.

hope everyone will get it soon.

cheers,
