CBSA : Canada Border Services Agency

its random , i have the same case with 2 friends , came at the same to canada , studied the same major finished same time . i applied before them 2 months they got it before me a month and half !
even , since i came to canada i never traveled outside , not even outside quebec . my friends traveled couple times which means should be more security checking for their cases . so to conclude its random depending on the agent that treat you application . i ordered the gcms in the end of feb

What did your GCMS as of end of feb say? what was the last update date ?

Abbreviated Timeline (PEQ Student):

We received your application for permanent residence on March 14, 2013.

We started processing your application on September 23, 2013.

Note: I lived in a few countries and I have a family... so security checks took a bit long.

Congrats! There is really nothing attached,...the letter is in the body of the email.
 
Thank you for your guidance. I thought something may be wrong because I had heard about a form which must be filled (about eye color, height and ...). Moreover I had heard about two piece of photos which must be sent with passport. But no photo is requested in the email. Were you asked to send the photos?
 
Congrats @Joshua & @QC.

It says
Medical: passed
security:
Criminality:

due date 07/22/2014

congratulations :)
 
Thank you xpert and harvie.
Since I know two photos were required to be sent with passport before, and it isn't requested in my email, I just wonder if CIC has changed its procedure or there is a mistake? I'll appreciate if the guys who have recently received PPR specify if they have been asked to send the photos or not?

Just follow the instructions in the mail, send the passport with a copy of the email, they already have photos of you, you sent them with your application
