Life is OK here in Montreal Buddy.
I am happy to see all folks speaking today. with lots of hope circulating around, we can stand better the next 3 months (hope it wont go beyond that).

I have learned the transferred files are not as much as we expected before, they are around 9000.
and with current trend, there is a good chance to meet my birthday deadline, if not yours!

btw, Montreal is having a nice weather for now and tomorrow. I think mini joops are what we can see frequently tomorrow. being naughty ... :)
Where did you get 9000 from? I dont see why we couldnt get wrapped up by March? It shouldnt take much longer than that..

The group owner has spoken to a CIC representative.

Majority of the people who have recently got their PPR, there is one thing common in them, either their medical is not expired or their medical expired very recently (i.e. within 15 to 30 days). Rest of us who didn't get PPR yet, according to my analysis they fall into one of following categories:

1. Officer is not appointed on their files or file is waiting in queue to be reviewed by officer.
2. Their files are sent for BG checks to CSIS (like mine).
3. Officer has finished reviewing the file but since medical is expired they have requested extension to it and now waiting for the response from medical team.

I strongly believe that, buffalo transfered files are not top priority of CPP-O however i do understand central processing centre in sydney NS has significantly reduced the volume of files transfered to CPP-O. Therefore it is obvious, if they get any file from central processing centre sydney, they take it as top priority.

That is true, this month will be fairly slow! The positive part is that they are working on it so lets all be positive! :)

On the 28th November post, its said they would like to finalise it within 90 days, which means around march and that is 9 months from July 2011 - the processing time mentioned on the CIC website! I wonder if its just a coincidence ?
