BTW, I have two questions for you guys.

1# Is CPP-Ottawa the visa office to process my application or just a documents collection agency?

2# How do you guys add a timeline in the signature box?

CPP-Ottawa can process your file till the point where it is ready for visa, then it will be forward to any visa office in US to finalize the file, sometimes files are transferred back to Buff. before finalization as the case with me
2# How do you guys add a timeline in the signature box?
You should have more than 10 posts

Not see any PPR in recent days for Quebec federal application
You are right. It is moving very slow. I hope to hear good news soon.
I have seen in one of the threads (email from Buffalo) that address disappearing is only a technical issue
Good Luck!

some fresh news, I just received this email:
Has anyone received something like this before? I already paid the fee. How much time left approximately?

Dear Applicant:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview. We reserve the right to call you to an interview should it become necessary at some future stage in processing.

No additional information / documents are required at this time.

Change of address:
It is imperative that you inform the Buffalo office of any change in your e-mail address or postal mailing address.

Note: Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line Change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Buffalo.

Change in family status:
You must notify us of any birth, marriage, engagement, divorce, death, or any other significant change in your marital or family composition. You can do so by mail, fax to 716 858 9591 or e-mail to buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca. Failure to advise us of these changes could result in delays in processing and possible refusal of your application.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee
Every principal applicant and his/her spouse/common law partner or conjugal partner is required to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If you have not already paid the RPRF, you should do so at this time.
The amount of the RPRF is $490.00 CAD (or $490.00 USD)
The RPRF must be submitted in the form of a money order, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the “Canadian Consulate General”.
The RPRF will be refunded if for any reason you do not immigrate to Canada

We do not confirm receipt of information / documents . Please submit information only once.

Congratulation Stanka.
Is your address appeared? Or you did not have this issue before you got the PPR?
Also, what is the status of your e-case right now? is it "Decision Made"?
Thank you
