CIC Victim said:
Till now I have filed 3 applications.

PNP - AINP
Filed To: Buffalo, then transferred to CPP-O
Application Filed: Apr, 2011
AOR: Sep, 2011
Medical Exam: Oct, 2011
Medical Exam Redone: Feb, 2013
PPR: No Response

After 15 months worthless waiting, feeling distrustful, discouraged, frustrated, and finally despaired, I filed my second application:

CEC
Filed To: CIO, then transferred to CPP-O
Application Filed: Aug, 2012
AOR: Sep, 2012
Medical Exam: No Response
PPR: No Response

This whole thing has made me realize, the best two three years in my life can be this easily wasted by an unjust government ministry, what else couldn't happen? I should feel lucky and grateful that I just got hit by a life-screwing delay but not a life-taking cancer. And I started to loosen my atheism belief and tried to figure out whether this Jesus thing, which is so popular in Canada, is true or not. Thinking even if I get my PPR tomorrow this coming PR status will last no more than 50 years, until I die, and then the PR feels to me just like a longer version of Temporary Resident Permit.

The third application I filed was the PR to heaven. It wasn't a smooth process either, and I have so much doubts, uncertainty and disbelief. God acts unresponsively just like a CIC official, no matter how much effort I put on Bible reading, watching testimonies and science researches on Youtube, opening my heart to listen and pray, the Holy Spirit has never come to me and I have never felt that ultimate peace and joy as described by many Christians around me.

PRAU (Permanent Residence for Afterlife Use)
Filed To: Jesus Christ
Application Filed: Jan, 2012
AOR: No Response
PPR: No Response

Conclusion:
There's no such PRs that comes easy. No matter how painful the process is, never give up.

Priority:
If God does exist and giving up my Canadian PR is part of his plan for me, I will just do and go back to my home country. Until I know if there is a God and what his plan is, I will keep working hard for all my 3 applications.
Friend,
I can feel your frustration but there is no reason for you to lose hope. The only thing that can help you during this ordeal is prayer and patience; both of which come from within the heart. Like someone has pointed out the joke of the day, enlighten your self which such things on a daily basis by reporting your thoughts and views online so that we may all help each other out and express our self here on this portal.

Do check with your MP? if you have already sent him/her an email, visit their office un-announced if you can. They will look into your file, even if they come back with the same answer, at least you know you have done something.

I am a Christian too, but the only thing we should always have is keep faith and believe it will come as per HIS time. Reading bible and watching videos without faith wont help and keep praying as if you believe you already have it. It is frustrating but have your faith and patience buddy.

@ Pari123 - Then you don't have faith and belief in your god if you call your MP and request for GCMS notes and most of all you are frustrated. Just wait for HIS time if you have faith and belief!

Oh well, it's easy to preach others, ain't it? ;D

I am not saying its not frustrating but we have to have faith. And FYI I didn't request for GCMS nor contacted my MP but yes did send them email regarding unfair system.

I just received an email from CPP-Ottawa which subject is "Request letter - EP000XXXX".

They asked me
- RPRF: Pay the Right of Permanent Residence fee. This must be received at this office by: 05/02/2013
· Updated details of your personal history since 08/03/2012.

I checked online E-cas. It doesn't have any new updates, no IP at all. I finished medical exam on May 30, 2012. Almost 13 months one year...Sigh... Hopefully the other guys who sent their applications earlier than me can get their updated messages from Ottawa as well!

Hi everyone,

I got some questions if anyone could help me out to understand.

I'm a PNP applicant here is my timeline:

-app filled for the federal late november 2011
-AOR on January 23 2012
-med done April 12 2012
-med results received March 05 2012

-e-cas statut change to "in process" on February 27th 2013
-e-cas statut change to "decision made" on March 11th 2013

I'm still waiting to get a PPR request or worst case scenario a refusal.
I didn't get any contact from CPP-O so far soever by e-mail or courier.
I sent an e-mail to CPP-0 last monday to know if i should wait longer or if they already tried to contact me they reply 24H later, here's what a get:

"Dear Sir/Madam,

Your file is currently in progress at our office. No action on your part is required.

An officer responsible for your file will contact you when your action is required.

In meantime, please ensure your contact information is up to date.

We thank you for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Regards,


Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa | Centre de Traitement Pilote – Ottawa -CT5778
Citizenship and Immigration Canada | Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada
219 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa ON K1A 1L1 | 219 avenue Laurier Ouest
7th Floor | 7ème étage, Section B
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1 Canada"

It has been 3 weeks now my statute changed to "decision made", is there anyone who tell me what i should expect and when?
I usually like suspense but not really in this case scenario :-\

Thank you all.
Hi ti-ben,
Have you received the PPR yet? Try to email them again and see.
