Congratulations, when did you do your Medicals? can you share the status of ur GCMS if you applied any.
Thanks. I did the medicals in Sep'11 and it was extended in last Dec. There wasn't any special things in my 4 GCMS notes since Mid 2012!

Hey guys, I just received my PPR, which is asking me to send typical stuff to Ottawa. Hope everyone here gets it soon too! :)

Does anyone know how long CPPO takes to issue visas as opposed to US visa offices?

Cheers
How many days Ottawa has given to submit the passport?

@chatdips: Ottawa gave me 60 days to submit everything.

@shaikhaffi: I saw it in the GCMS. Just an "expires at" (?) field was added.

@Unaseem: July 18. Yours should be on the way pretty soon.

No I came to Canada with a visa and study permit
hmm did you renewed your passport during the course of your PR application? I wonder why they ask for Passport Copies, anyway not to worry looks like good news - you should be getting PR very soon.
