GOOD NEWS FOR PNP APPLICANTS

[TRUONGAN]

From now on, effective Nov 27 2012, CPP-Ottawa will take care of PR process from start to end including visa printing. That means at the end of the process, we PNP do not have to deal with offices outside Canada, reducing processing time, mailing time, and much more. I am optimistic this change will reduce the timeline for PR 1-2 month sooner than before.

Note that this "bonus" only applies to in-Canada applicants.

Thanks for the info Truongan! Sounds good... but on the other hand I hope they wouldnt get overloaded and increase the timeline... OK, i'm going to be optimistic and say, yay! the timeline would reduce by 2months since we'd be the first in this batch

2. The documents will be mailed to clients from Ottawa to addresses primarily within North America.

My bad. I should say this includes people from USA too

But, in reality it only facilitates the process for people in Canada because we now have a processing centre truly within Canada. The visa printing stage is time-consuming, too, plus mailing passport to USA is somewhat risky.

I am kinda confused. For applicants like me who are in US, will no longer need to mail Passports?

From what I can interpret the term "primarily within North America", people in USA now will need to send pp to Ottawa for visa stamping. It's like mouse and cat game, Canada-based applicants used to send pp to consulates in USA and now the other way around.

But I may understand it wrong, probably the USA applicants still send pp to consulates in USA like Detroit, Seattle, LA.
