Wow, this is surprising. As I thought London was fast.
From the forum I see most people got their PPR around 4 months post AOR.
Have you tried calling cic? You should try and call today, you might get an update on If it's security or eligibility that is on going.

To your knowledge, do you know if there are any October applicants waiting for LVO? Or is it just November and December applicants from last year that are still waiting?

I wish us all speedy PPR.

Dec 2nd AOR Applicant here. I found out on Feb 28th 2017 that my file is awaiting review by an officer. Absolutely no news after that. All this waiting around is really starting to stress me out.

No I have not tried calling CIC. I dont know of any Oct aor still waiting. Even there r rare Nov. Aors waiting for PPR from LVO. About update ....... no update at all, My file is awaiting an officers' review from 16 December 2016 (Transfer date from CIO ottawa to London). Means 106 days......... and officer is not yet ready to open it.
Its the officer who will finalize eligibility, security will come after that.
I want to be honest,,,,,,,,,, LVO is very unfair with most of the applicants from Pakistan. especially PNPs. I have seen 9 cases from September, October and November. All pnps, they were processed at average of 5 months and 10 days. While at the mean time applicants from UAE, KSA and UK were processed within 2 to 3 months.
Indeed LVO issued PPRs to December, Jan and even Feb AORs from these countries.

I understand how you feel. This process is nerve wracking for everyone. We can only hope for speedy PPR.
Hopefully you get good news in April.

I am from none of the countries you mentioned and still waiting too. But I cannot complain seeing that lots of people way before me are also waiting.

Cic call center might be useless in terms of getting any information. As they won't say anything to you unless you must have passed 6 months or you get lucky and the agent that picks your call is in a good mood.

I sincerely hope that everyone waiting get cleared soonest.

Another week gone. Hoping next week will be better.

Hi all,

looks like there are many victims of slow processing by LVO. Mine is 120+ days from eAPR (26.11.2016). I was in saudi during that period so my file got allocated to LVO instead of NDVO. Post that I updated my indian address, they updated it in their records but didnt changed the VO. Whenever I contact them the standard reply "awaiting review by officer" is given. God knows when this officer will come to my rescue. Seniors in the group please suggest.Thanks.

There is nothing much you can do but wait.
LVO process is average of 4 months from what I have gathered on the forum so far..
So, I hopefully April is your PPR month.

Have you tried requesting for your gcms notes?


It is frustrating to wait. But that's all we can do.
