A november PNP Applicant just got PPR, but the file always remained at Ottawa so we cant really predict our own timeline. I believe October will be when we shall start receiving some information about our case...

thanks Sharu..I will check there

by the way, for you did Medical Result received appeared before We started processing your app. line?

for me it was first it went to in process, then medical rec. but for my friend it is stuck in application received and medical received although he applied earlier than me.

Hi, I am new to this forum and I am relieved to find out so many people have similar experience.

Does anyone know that whether updating employment status help for the processing?

Meds have been received came first. Actually, it depends upon when you applied and which VO was dealing with it. For applicants before August it was app received meds received and then in process. Applicants after August had in process earlier than meds received. But, then again it depends upon the visa officer also!!

I applied under BCPNP (International Post-Graduates Pilot Project) which doesn't require employment for Provincial Nomination. Buffalo office received my application files in April 2011 and I wasn't employed at that time. I am wondering whether employment status change will help or not.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

If I were you, I would get ready to get excited pretty soon buddy! I think you should hear before sept, as your file was mainly processed in ottawa!

no I havent applied for them yet.

thinking of doing that but I applied in September so you can see i am inside processing time.

my file is in process similar to yours since mid of May.

I think my file went to Buffalo, then Ottawa for Medical and Security but never left Ottawa due to Buffalo closing down.

my work permitt will expire in January so I will have to apply for new one in October end.

not expecting anything before Feb next year.

Medical is done at Ottawa, security also is done for post sept applicants. If your file never left Ottawa, 3 months from May is August, so I think you should hear august-september.

There is another applicant on trackitt who received his PPR yesterday (Aug 13). He is a January 2012 applicant, and he said his VO is Detroit. It gives me hope that Ottawa guys who applied in January this year (eg Superhero, jonmonc) should be getting their PPR soon...

so PPR is approximately 3 months after ecas goes into "in process"?

As I said before, 2012 applicants have a better chance than 2011 applicants...they are ahead in the queue
