By the way, can you share how much time did CPC-O give you to submit the passports?

30 days

Congratulations!!!! I'm curious when was your file complete i.e. when was your last document received. Your profile seems to indicate Oct 31, but if I recall you also had your FBI PCC pending.

Finally, I am curious if someone could answer this:

I'm an Indian national living in the US, and it seems that I cannot send my passport out of the country. Has anyone had/or knows someone who had the experience of what CPC-O does to such applicants. I think they ask you to send the passports to some Canadian embassy/consulate in the US. Is this correct? How long did this process take?

Thank you,
o_o

I had submitted it with application and was not asked for updated PCC.

 

[xXCiscoGuyXx]

Wow CISCO Congrats Buddy ... Hopefully things get smooth soon for all of Us.

Thank you bro. My passports should reach CPC-O tomorrow.
Well wishes to those who are awaiting PPR.

WOW......Congratulations man, wish you a wonderful life in Canada.

Much appreciated sharing this much awaited wonderful news as soon as you received it.

+1000000 to you

Thank you.
I will update everyone with more details as they become available.

Congrats Cisco

Many congrats!

What time did you get it? Was it from CPC CTD Ottawa email?

I am so happy for you!

I received 2 emails, 1 minute apart from each other. First actually came from an employee email and second was from generic CPC-CTD-Ottawa.
Thanks for well wishes.

Congrats Cisco.

You gave us a great Hope.

Thank you. HOPE/Patience is as we have.

Woho...Congrats brother...Send passports ASAP..!

Thank you for updating me. +1 ;D

Does anyone know what happens to Indians living in the US at the PPR stage from CPC-O? I understand that we cannot send our passports out of the country. Is it easy to convince them to stamp the passport at a local consulate in the US?

Hi Vijay, at this moment, it seems that there is a delay in the CPC-O office for PPR. It looks like those who have submitted all the docs and meds since Oct last week are waiting for the PPR. With this information, Im sorry to say that we need to wait. May be a week more or may be a month.
I have submitted all docs and PCCs on Oct 24 and 3rd line update on Nov 7. Lets hope for the best.

Third line on Nov 7 still waiting ?! oh my, that is really sucks! shame on CPC Ottawa..

Mine third line just showed at the beginning of this week ..I will say March for me ... crying ...

 

[Platoplato]

When was your medicals submitted? It means you passed medicals and it could be another 2 months before passport request, but it could be sooner if Ottawa doesn't go in another hiatus.

I have no accurate date while I will say this week. Just saw the third line yesterday.

 

[Platoplato]

My application was received on August 12 and I got my PER email on December 2. I haven't received any updates from CPC-Ottawa yet. Are there any July or August 1st week applicants still waiting to get their second line update or Medical request?

Yours looks quite slow... generally MR is sent in a week or 2 after PER... But the previous post of this link said CPC-Ottawa has a different pattern with CIC Sydney, maybe you can write them or call in 45 days or so..

 

[Platoplato]

Yes I am July 25th Applicant and waiting for Medical still. My second line is not updated yet. I don't know what are they doing with my file. It seems all other July applicants got MR already. Experts please share views. Could it be possible that they are checking employment background?

that's possible, according to the procedure to go. If the person on your list didn't respond promptly when contacted, your waiting time might be longer.

Hi xXCiscoGuyXx

Congratulations on your PPR. Did you get your 4th line updated?

 

[jobinj1]

You are so meticulous. Very glad you got it first when Ottawa restarted PPR-s. Also gave +1.

Thank you bro. My passports should reach CPC-O tomorrow.
Well wishes to those who are awaiting PPR.

Thank you.
I will update everyone with more details as they become available.

Congratulations to all in your journey so far!!! May we all get to move to the other side of the border this year for good !

I have 2 queries if anyone can help -

1) we got our medicals done on Dec 21 but no online update so far - do we have any specific time lines to it? Do I need to be worried?
2) we have requested for an extension for the FBI reports, can anyone share his/ her exp on having received a confirmation from CIC on your request?

Thanks

Ok. According to the spreadsheet for CPC-Ottawa, the average time between PER and MR is 36 days. As of today it has been 35 days since my PER. I shall probably wait till the end of next week.

Could you please let me know the email address to contact the visa office?

 

[vinayrao]

Guys...I want to give HOPE to all CPC-O applicants who are awaiting PPR.
I received mine.

Congratulations Friend, we are all happy for you.

if possible can you share the content of PPR? , did it specify anything about change in family composition like adding kids etc. My self i am waiting for PPR and we are going to get baby in March 2015. Just thinking what would be the process.

Thanks,
Vinay

 

[cecjuly31]

Hi guys,
My timeline is:
Application received: August 13, 2014
CC: November 18, 2014
PER: December 3, 2014
VO: CPC-Ottava
No second line, no MR yet
Can you tell me how often they call employers to verify an experience?
As my boss is on vacation and I am afraid they already called him.

Yes, it did.

Here it is in quote below:

Email from: CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca

My Mailing Address with UCI and File Number listed here
———————————————————————————————


Your mailing address according to our records is indicated above. Please review it and advise us of any updates.
Dear xXCiscoGuyXx,

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. The following is required to complete your application.

STEP 1: STATUS CHANGE (If none of these conditions applies to you, you may proceed to STEP 2)
Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?
Have you married or divorced?
Have you given birth or adopted a child?
Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?
Have you changed your contact information: e-mail address/mailing address/telephone number?

If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPC-O immediately:
CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca

You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.

STEP 2: PASSPORT(S) REQUEST

We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.
Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.

If you or any of your family members are residing outside North America and you are unable to send your/their passport(s) to Canada and/or to provide a return mailing address in North America, contact us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to print visas at another office.

STEP 3: SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS If you and your dependants reside in Canada
How to Send your Documents to the Case Processing Center – Ottawa (CPC-O)
Please note that CPC-Ottawa does not send out passports outside of North America.

Submit all documents by MAIL in a single package. Quote your application number on your correspondence and send the package to one of the following addresses:

Canada Post:
CPC – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON K1G 4B9

Courier:
CPC – Ottawa
365 Laurier Avenue West

If you have a mailing address in Canada: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase two (2) PREPAID Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (National), letter-sized (318 x 241 mm), at any Canada Post retail outlet. CPC-Ottawa accepts no responsibility for any passport lost in the mail.

- Complete the mailing label on one envelope showing your mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
- Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.
- Fold and enclose the self-addressed envelope in the other envelope along with your passport(s) and a copy of this request letter.

If you have a mailing address in the United States: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase a pre-paid shipping label from Canada Post and include it with your passports and a copy of this letter. Follow the link to purchase your shipping label:
http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp
If you do not submit a return prepaid Xpresspost envelope or a pre-paid Canada Post shipping label, or if you provide an envelope from any other courier, we will return your passport by regular mail.

The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.





Final Note
The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date. The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada.

Sincerely,

Congratulations to all in your journey so far!!! May we all get to move to the other side of the border this year for good !

Mine was updated in a week and a half. Please ask your doctor's office when the actual results were uploaded.
I did not have to go through the extension but there are several who have asked and pardoned by CPC-O. However, it generally takes 12-14 weeks so please mention that to CPC-O. Also, when sending the application to FBI, some people indicated that they printed and included letter from CPC-O asking for FBI PCC and their request were expedited. I cannot vouch for their statement but it's something that I definitely look into.
