Well I have noticed in forums and also some of my friends were asked to submit fingerprints.
But I am pretty sure that many ppl were not asked to provide fingerprints and they were
issued PPR.

Does anyone know why would CIC ask an applicant to submit fingerprints?
My guess is that is that some of the fingerprints were lost or misplaced while transferring the physical files from Buffalo to Ottawa.
OR
They only check the information that were uploaded electronically, such that if your fingerprint or police clearance was not uploaded as at the time of the transfer, you are asked to provide same.

CIC has taught the game of guessing and second-guessing!! :(

But it says temporary resident visa, study permit or work permit. Or does these implicitly include permanent residence even those within Canada already?

I was wondering, would someone be so kind to share their PPR e-mail? I just wanna see the requirements, such a busy life and than CIC never ending requirements.

I am not sure, why I didnt get the PPR? I guess RPRF is the last fees, so gay.

Please advise if there are other requirements, CIC may ask for?


Thank you

Hello

I have been watching this forum for quite some time now. I wanted to join the forum and ask some questions to get some insight in to timelines.

I had applied for Federal in June 2011. Have gone through most of the same horsecr** that a lot of people have gone through.

Is it based on your own experience, or there's another source for that?

Thanks

Since CIC failed to provide all pre-Set. 2011 applicants with an update about the progress of their applications I have legitimate reasons to seriously doubt if we are going to be done with CIC by end of summer as originally promised by CIC.
