Hi All,

I am new member to this discussion board. I am a BC PNP applicant and I am waiting for my application to processed by CPP-O office ( after it was transferred from Buffalo office).

My timeline

Nomination approval : Oct 2011
Federal application submit date: Feb 10, 2012
AOR received : April 10, 2012
Medical Request: May 8, 2012
Medicals done: May 15, 2012


I went through the CIC website and found the FAQ modified in the first week of March 2013. I have pasted below for your reference.

==========================================================================================================
All applications received before 1 September 2011 in Buffalo have now been reviewed. All principal applicants who submitted applications before this date should have received a communication from the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O) office. If you have not received any instructions or updates from CPP-O and you fall within this group, please contact the Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 with your name and file number (if known).
Applications received before 1 December 2011 will be reviewed by 31 March 2013.
Applications received before 1 March 2012 will be reviewed by 31 May 2013.

Visas are being issued in this category. The vast majority of applications received before 1 March 2012 will be finalised and visas will be issued by Summer 2013.
===========================================================================================================

What concerns from this message is that there seems to be no mention of the applications that were accepted by CIC office after March 1,2012 and still waiting for the CPP-O office to be processed.

What is more disconcerting is the fact that one of my friend received the PPR mail from CPP-O office, in-spite of the fact that he has submitted the application in July 2012.

What will happen to applications that were accepted by CPP-O office after March 1 and were part of the applications returned from buffalo office?

Hi Guys,

I am Applicant since May 2011. I was just asked by CIC to re do my medical as I did not get an extension on my medical. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the Passport request after re submitting the medical.

HI everyone,

I have a question for all my seniors.
I got email for RRPF, fingerprints and personnel history update today.
after reading forum topics and comment, i already send Original Fingerprints, RRPF and personnel history before getting their request letter means without accompanying their request letter two days ago. But i include cover letter stating file no., Client ID with them.

Should i send scanned copies of fingerprints again with Attention: officer ....as the headline.
I am little bit worried.

I will be very thankful,if anyone could give me a advice or suggestion

Well in my opinion there are 2 options you have.
Write to Cpp-O that your wife is in India and she
can submit her PP to Canadian Consulate/Embassy
in India. Try also to call CIC . You ought to know what
they want to say abt this matter.

Or

You can ask any trusted person who is coming to
CA to bring along your wife's PP.

Other than that my friend you are out of options.

You can call to Indain High commission office and ask for that but I think it is legal , you can send a passport to india from any where in the world but you can not send your passport from India to out of India or out of your residence country. not sure.

I have seen people send the PP via courier to canada to their spouse and then you can send both passports.
