It's very random how they handle the applications. I got DM in October and nothing further. However, they never asked me for criminal check from here. I provided one from my country, but they didn't ask me for one from Canada. Only the medical they requested. I've been here for 7 years. Studied and now I've been working for 3 years. We all paid our taxes, in international fees to medical to filing endless paper work for study and work permits. It's going to come, we just have to be patient. It's not easy to say that and do it but we don't have a choice. Best of luck to all and everybody's gonna get their turn. It's a matter of time fellas!

Nov 19 2013: still no PPR
My lawyer advised me to send the passport anyway even though I didn't get PPR yet; saying the decision is made at this point, so we may send it and save some time. Anybody ever done that?
We did send an email for the first time since I applied to the VO in Ottawa asking about the status and about the PPR but to this day they did not respond.
Still waiting....
