I also got from the above email id. I specifically asked them whether background is complete in my mail. But no affirmative reply to that question. May be we can assume that background check is over. When I saw the reply, I was hoping that it will come in next two weeks. But if sept15 got it on Feb 10...................... :(

I have added time line.

Thanks Sinbad - Never seen that spread-sheet. Looks like PPR column is empty for March...Holy Smokes, there is at least one applicant per day in March... Wow.

I figured that one out - a few updates it.
But whether its a AINP, SINP, or MNP, they all end up in the same basket....when they reache Federals.

Lets hope for the best - there is nothing that we can do.

Winnipeg has ordered CAIPS - Lets see what they say.

Same here. Nothing to report so far and despite it being over 12 months since my application was receieved by Buffalo, no PPR yet.
Winnipeg - When did you order CAIPS?
I know Chigirl has ordered them as well and she has already received them - any idea when Chigirl applied for them - Can you keep us posted when you get them.... Might not be a bad idea if you ask Chigirl when she has applied for CAIPS....

@ sept15
I ordered CAIPS Jan 28th, haven't gotten anything yet ... I'd say maybe early next week.

@ Chigirl
I'm guessing you ordered CAIPS at least 6 weeks ago? Anything else that you were able to see in CAIPS that might explain the wait? Your 'bring file forward' date was yesterday so hopefully you might hear something soon.

Hi.....You're right. It took 6 weeks for me to get my CAIPS notes. Sorry, nothing in my notes gives me any reason for the delay. No information on background checks etc. Although my BFD date is March 1st, I am still a little skeptical, because my belief is they are behind schedule. There are applicants ahead of me who have not received their pprs.

Chigirl - In one of the other forums on CanadaVisa, someone told you that your BF'D was January 3, 2011 and not march 1, 2011 since the dates on CAIPS are mmddyyyy (01032011). Can you clarify this or does it say March 1, 2011 - Thanks chigirl.

March 1st for sure. I've checked the format on the other dates.
