Thanks. I suspect you must be due as well, since you're timeline is very similar. I just think I had the advantage of a big stick with which to beat them.

I am hopeful this is the leading edge of a deluge of March activity.
I hope so! It'll be nice to get PPR :)

I changed your colour YAAAY! :p

CONGRATULATIONS Computergeek!!

Finally the ball is rolling for March US applicants.

Applicants who filled on March 6 are getting their PPR on September 26. I filled on March 31 so I am guessing 23 days from today, around October 20th may be? Lets see.

Good Luck to everyone!!

Just received the PPR from LA (via e-mail to my sponsor).

A couple of interesting things to note:

(1) There is no option to present the passport in person on the letter. It states "You are required to submit your passport(s) and photographs by MAIL within the next sixty (60) days from the date of this letter."

(2) They will send a passport via express mail in the US, but only by regular mail in Canada.

I have to be in the US in mid-October for work anyway, so my hope is that I can manage to wrangle this to get my COPR back by the time I have to return at the end of October.

Surprising what a relief it is to have received this.
Congratulations!!!! :)

*** Congratulations, computergeek!!!! ***

If I may add, (3) It's also strange that the sponsor received the PPR instead of you as the applicant. That being said, the important thing is that you got it and you'll be able to (finally) land.

Enjoy a good night's rest.

Thanks. ;D But "strange" is the best way to describe my case. It falls way outside the norm at this stage.

Tomorrow my primary passport heads to LA. I'm hoping it will meet back up with me by the end of October when I'm supposed to come back to Canada (heading to the US for work in mid-October.) Fortunately, I have that second (legal) US passport so I won't have a problem getting back to the US.

May you have your passport back in time to not need your second one ;)

It just means they requested your medicals from Ottawa and got them :)

I wonder if it means I am near the end. My file was transferred June 25th or so... I guess I am just very anxious!! Can't wait to move to Ontario! :)
