Those cases that you mention were given PPR by NDVO are usually the cases that were analyzed and finalized by Ottawa and other places such as Sydney. This is wrong point of view that NDVO is doing all the work while others don't do anything. NDVO just issues PPR these days. The rest were performed some where else and this is the whole idea of GCMS (Global Case Management System). You really don't know who does what because they all have access to files and they all do some of the work. Files move a lot between these places as each group are expert in one of the tasks. So, it does not mean that Ottawa does not do anything, it means that they are doing something else behind the scene. Now, why this whole issue of holding approved applicants, I don't know. But, it is obvious that there is a glitch in moving files in the GCMS. That is why people email NDVO to remind them to send PPR
