yes, if your visa office is outside Pakistan then you get PPR1 and PPR2.. in PPR1 you have to send only copy of the passport to the visa office and then PPR2 you will have to send original passposrt to ISlamabad...
the processing time between ppr1 and ppr2 is not fixed you can get ppr2 just after a month or could be couple of months..

thanks sabii....

a little heads up to all of you that are sending in passports... send it along with a pre-paid return package within through the courier of your choice (use tcs or dhl, etc) but do pay for the return postage etc... ask them and they will tell you or help you with it... reason being that if you do so, your passport will be coming back a little faster... if you dont do so... then guess what chc-isl has to churn out the money from its own coffers and they will take their time + use the slowest and cheapest method possible to send it back to you... know this from other ppl's experiences ;)

CHC-ISB does not pay the return fee, the TCS guy collects it upon delivery of passport and TCS is not taking any advance payment for return of passport either. I know it through experience of my mother's passport return

Yes, that's how it usually is.. they courier guy collects it on delivery.

By announcing/encouraging people to pay in advance is going to confuse a lot of the new ones, since TCS does NOT accept advance payment. Atleast not the ones I've been to.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I think you guys interpreted the 28 month different in a wrong manner, it is not how it works.

First think the 28 months is the Worst case scenario and it is only 10% cases explained below.

Let me explain you guys in a clear way.

CIC didn't yet provided the detailed figures since they updated the 80% figure to 28 months. The last complete data we got is till October 2012 so my explanation will be based on that data.

In the last 12 months the cases they precessed (gave visa PR) took in 80% of the cases 25 months or LESS the word less is very important. Because if you look at the excel file here is what in the titile :

X % of the cases were completed with in X month or LESS

So from September 2011 to October 2012 for Spouse and Partner cases processed by Islambad Office

80% or less of cases were completed in 25 months
70% or less of cases were completed in 22 months (which mean the only 10% took from 22 to 25 months)
50% or less of cases were completed in 19 months ( Which means only 20% took from 19 to 22 months)
30% or less of cases were completed in 16 months (Which means only 20% of cases took from 16 to 19months)
20% or less of cases were completed in 15 months (Which means only 10% of cases took from 15 to 16months and 20% took less then 15 months so it can be 1 month up to 15 months)

So please guys when you talk about time or when you contact the MPs don't get yourself fool by this 28 month figure only 10% of person are concerned by this time. And it is the worst case scenario and you should remind this to the MP.

I also analyzed the data of Application received and processed by Islamabad and I have very good news and feeling that in coming months the timlien will decrease by 30 to 40%

Here is my explanation :

Files received by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 3,012
2010 : 2,562
2011: 2,332
2012 (jan to sept) : 68 Low figure because file started to go to Ottawa

Files processed by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 2,224
2010: 1,227 That is the root of our problem look below for explanation
2011: 1,760 : getting a little better
2010 (last 12 months till October 2012) : 2,232 This is a Good NEWS, it look that Islaman Office is back in it's old time figures


That is why there is backlog, because only 1220 PR given in 2010 which created a big backlog, I don't what really happened in 2010, coincident it was in 2010 that Pakistan was touched by it's biggest flood in his history which paralyzed the whole country in 2010 and in continued in beginning 2011.

As you can see in last 12 months Islamabad office treated almost same amount of files (even more) then in 2009. So it indicate that the backlog is been dealt and we will soon see the timeline go down :) I also think the cases from Ottawa will be transferred to Islamabad as they only received 68 cases and soon Islambad office will have no more file to work on.

I am not taking out these figure from thin air, these are official figures that CIC provide to data here is the link to all data (look for Permanent resident and also look for file received) http://www.data.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=6E81B685-1&parent=51383040-F4F9-4B96-9E6B-2D70AAFB522A

I can provide you direct links if needed.

So Guys and gals good time is coming for us :) in less then 6 months I am sure the timeline will go very low like 40% less then today.
nicely done.. + 1 for the effort!
