Hope Ottawa lives up to the expectation as Pilot Processing Center!
I'm still not sure if all the files(PR) were transferred from buffalo to Ottawa since there is no communication from either sides!!
Did anybody get formal notification?

Thanks

Hi PR2012,

I have called CIC yesterday. The representative said, ur file is in Ottawa and if they need some additional info, they will will contact me.

I didn't get any notification officially after Feb 2012's PER e-mail from Sydney, NovaScotia.

Im also waiting to hear from Ottawa office. My FSW file is pending(ecas: Recieved by visa office) in Buffalo office since June,2011. Also want to update my current status, Indian pcc on the file. Just wondering either I should wait for ottawa office to contact me or myself send updated information to ottawa office by mail?

My ecas status is showing the same thing. However, they haven't emailed me the new address where I can send the additional requirements that they have asked for.
How you people come to know that interview has been waived. Does they interview before or after the medical request.

When they asked for additional documents from me, the letter stated that an interview wasn't necessary but they may ask for one later in the process if they feel the need to. I believe they generally do the interviews before the medical request.

Thanks for reply. I got medical request but the letter doesnt say anything about interview. Hope it would be waived!

ANYBODY RECEIVED NEWS FROM CASE PROCESSING PILOT OTTAWA??

No news still from them, Hope along with files transferd the working attitude of Buffalo is not transfered :)

This waiting is painful almost 21 months... unable to take any decision...
I applied in PNP in April 2012, and submitted my docs to CIC in June. My visa Office is Ottawa. I got the AOR and medical request this week. Hope they are working at fast pace.

Well it is August 1st. Looking forward to hearing from Ottawa or whoever is handling my case. I sent my medical exams on April 17, 2012 and that is the latest date I have. We needed to wait extra 60 days. Ok fine, done it. Now looking forward to finishing this process!

Hello p9999,
In my opinion, I would say its better to wait since you may not be sure if CIC would ask for additional documents or even a latest PCC taken say within the last 3 months. But there is also a possibility that if you send your pcc now, you may shake up your file that could move your file for further processing!
