Hi guys, quick run thru a couple of hundred post, I am able to do the following analysis for CPC Ottawa and NDVO, for the rest of visa offices, there is not sufficient data, 2-5 cases atmost. Some data is available for Manilla VO.
Ottawa visa office trend is - NN or NS to in progress, then in progress to NN or NS, then again NN or NS to in progress. After the bg check goes into progress second time the applicant receives PPR in 3 days to 2 weeks. This has been true for all of the cases I have checked.
for NDVO.
the trend seems to vary. Background check goes into in progress (sometimes it is still in not needed) and applicant receives PPR in 3 hours to 3 weeks. NDVO is clearing Ontario nominee files like crazy. They have minimum delay between background in progress to PPR, generally varies from couple of hours to 3 days. May be ontario already did a security check hence faster from federal side to clear, just a speculation. For the rest of the applicants normal times apply. CEC and FSW applicants are given priority over PNP applicant (except OINP). NDVO cleared most of late December to mid January OINP files last week. For other PNP, FSW or CEC applicants, they are clearing July (only a handful cases pending), August, October and some November applicants. The last applicant to receive PPR is of 9th November (most likely PNP). As of now NDVO is keeping pace up and clearing application on time. And I think they may redeem their title of being fast again. If the issuance of PR and speed goes at this rate, all of the November applicants will receive their PPR before 6 months. We have to take in consideration that with the latest high volume of draws, almost 23-25% applicants are Indian (from a report on CIC), NDVO has more files to process than other VOs and it takes time. We owe them at least 6 months of time.
For Manilla VO, Phillipines,
They seem to be processing November and December applicants. There are many November AOR who has received their PR in last couple of days.
For London VO, there are very rare cases from November pending. People reported PR in Jan and Feb who had Nov AOR.
For the rest of the visa offices, there are not enough cases to conclude anything.
Please note that the above analysis is bases on couple of hundred cases posted on forum. There are thousands of cases in each month and your cases may vary, but for the most part the above is common.
