Hi super boy, I did but I sent PCC from my birth country's instead of the country I lived in when I was 18! Silly me

The point is, if I had everything at the point when they checked my file, I would have gotten PPR instead of the documents. SO they are looking at files

Oh man, so I have to wait for a few months as well? They can't go over the 11 month they posted online though! Can you complain to someone if they do?

The 11 month time frame refers to the percentage of the applications processed in that time (80% in this case). So the remaining 20% could potentially take much longer. Mine was sent in Feb last year so 12 months now and nothing so far.

Winnipeg - WHen did you inquire last. What was their response? Mine is exactly 1 month behind yours... Hopefully, we should receive something by the end of this month...

Holy Smokes - that was fast for him/her. The file was transferred to LA and that is why he/she benefited.... Ours will remain in Buffalo...

Super - When does your Work Permit expire (if you have one)? Is it Post-Grad one? Thanks

no, my work permit is from company sponsor. My WP expires next year Feb/2012, that is why when I got nominated I renewed my WP first and then submitted my application to Buffalo to be in the safe side.
