Are you still waiting for PPR?

I think our medical expiry is the reason for the long delay.
suzyph said:
Yes still waiting for PPR.

I got response from MP. IRRC replied that my medical is valid til May 2017. And my application is in process time of 12mos.

I have no choice but to wait the PPR.
I thought of that too T.T
But some applicants got PPR not because of their medical expiry date
It seems that we will be spending another christmas and new year away from our loved once T.T

Emailed our lawyer with this concern . They responded with sending an inquiry for status of our application , since it was transferred from Paris to Rome , and neither we or our lawyer knew of this ! :'( what does expedited mean ?

I contacted our MP last week and she told us she is not hopeful for our application. She said that anyone who got a request for extra documents (like we did) is now considered to be not a normal application and therefore regular processing times do not apply. However she told us there was a note on the account that someone would look at our file during the first week of december. Sure enough, December 1st, We got a call from CIC and they said they are issuing COPR. Dec 1st is my partners bday so it was a great present! They said since we are already in canada together they issued the COPR because we can process it fast since we are here before his medical expires on the 15th. We sent the extra documents off to Ottawa this morning so hopefully we can get the actual COPR letter and land next week!

As others have told you before, it is not uncommon for applications to be sent to a different VO than expected. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your application. Sometimes they do it to redistribute the workload.. As long as your application is still active I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can still track your application online right, with ECAS and MyCIC?

Congrats!
My medical exam expires on the same day as your partner but I didn't hear anything.
What does MP stand for? I would contact my MP too to find out if somebody will look at my file soon.

MP stands for Member of Parliament .. if you contact them and give them consent then they will look into your case. I also sent an email to Manila Visa Office saying that my medical is expiring soon but I havent heard anything.

Thank you.
I came to our MP office today but I couldn't get any help. I have to come back next Tuesday to fill in a consent form then they can call cic whatnot..
I was told that they can't help me on Monday as CIC is close whatnot..
I'm hopeless now... I guess I may have to do medical twice.. since I'm here in Canada as a visitor and my visa will expire within a month.
How inefficient... that I might have to do Medical for PR and extension of my visitor status...
