It's been a while since I haven't had a peep on this thread. I am a Feb 3 applicant and received a PCC request last August 1 where I could have been there at the "in process" stage just like some of the early Feb applicants if only my Visa Officer requested for it much earlier.
But in fairness to CIC, let's try to broaden our understanding here, we are assigned under different Visa Officers and with different cases so I don't think we will make a fuss about the "delay of the progress" of our applications and that others are ahead of us, etc.
If we are confident enough that we are not a threat in this country (hehehehe) and the fact that we are a provincial nominee, let's cool down and enjoy the process and the sweetness of waiting.
BTW, my VO's initial is OO, as written in the email from CIO regarding the PCC request.
Cheers!
