Congrats Salazafar.

I have sent an email to OTT-PILOT yesterday. no response yet. how long does it take to get a response from them?

I applied on June 14, CC charged on July 7.

I sent an email Friday the 12th, just now got a response from them. In essence, they are saying to sit tight and be patient:

They never replied me as well.
 
In response to my email sent to CPP-O last week, they sent a reply today (see below). I am consoled that they at least acknowledged receipt of the file transfer and can keep my nerves while continuing with the patient wait:

Mr. xxxx.



In response to your below email, our records show that your application was received on June 11,2012.

It was transferred to the CPP-Ottawa office for further processing.

Our office will get in contact you with further information, including the file number, in due time.



Regards,
 
I got a response from OPP including the file number just a few mins ago. (i am able to check the status online with this file number) -- I think they have now started to process May and June. stay tight, yours is on its way.

File number: Exxxxxxxxxx

16 months?!? :o What the heck, they claim to process 80% of applications within 10 months...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/service-standards.asp

Looks like the Buffalo office closure initiated a cheerful mess...
 
Can I consider the CPP response email above with File Number E000xxxxx as the the AOR?
 
Hi kdb,

That is the AOR, please share your timeline. Thank you

uing
 
Thanks Uing. Here is the timeline.


Application filed -- June 14
CC Charged -- July 7
Sent email to CPP-Ottawa -- Oct 14
Received Response -- Oct 16 (with File no. as below) -- still not sure if this email is the AOR as this doesn't say that my application is complete per some law/clause(like in a Standard AOR)

File number: Exxxxxxxxxx

16months,really?
 
Well I think that's the maximum time they have to state as per the website.

When I first applied in October 2011, the processing time on the website was 15 months. But I got the first response in 6 months in may 2012, so had my application successfully gone further at the time and if I added another 6 months for medical etc, it would still be 12 months and not 15.

Besides as per the later applicants this year, things seem to be happening pretty quick. So I'm hoping for the best.
 
Folks,
Got my AOR yesterday. They changed my UCI. Not able to login ECAS yet. Tried with file number & also with new UCI, may be it will take couple of days.
I will update the table with my details
