I feel December applicants are single .. For me I also applied for wife so took more time as same processing is required on both
I feel many applicants will receive DM and then PPR may take some time. The logic behind the statement is based on 2 factors
1. NDVO will clear all its existing files of September Week 1 applicants (Applications post that were transferred to Colombo and Warsaw). Therefore it will be all ready to process the PPR of applicants transferred to these VO's.
2. There were many appicants who received DM in May and June but didn't receive PPR email. This again concludes that Warsaw only issues PPR when NDVO gives a green signal for the processing of PPR.
Also the applicants who received DM/ PPR till dates either belong to a NOC which is currently in high demand in Canada. Some of these applications were from Nepalese applicants whose applications were fast tracked due to the recent earthquakes.
Now coming to the final point. I believe that Security checks are done in batches and not single applications. These were again delayed due to three factors.
1. Introduction of Bill C 31 which may have changed the way screening is conducted by CSIS for immigration purposes. This might have brought an overhaul of the process thereby delaying or prolonging the process.
2. Recent attacks on Federal IT infrastructure which included the systems used by CSIS and CIC.
3. Recent national holidays in Canada
To sum it all up, in my opinion all the above factors have caused the delay in processing our applications.
