15-march-2016 applicant have received PPR as per the above post from member 'Msran'.. Basically, PR in less than 2 months..

The way and at speed, NDVO is processing other months currently in comparison to processing speed of May-June-July 2015 months' applicants, it seems that they have left less number of employees working for these 3 months and moved/put majority of employees to process/work on the later months to improve results so that John McCallum can say in public and in parliament that we have reduce processing time for spousal applications significantly and prove that we fulfill our commitment to reduce processing time in family category. The other part is May-June-July 2015 month have highest number of applicants in compare to other months, so it takes time to clear these 3 months.. In order to avoid delay in proving that John McCallum have worked and improved processing time, the senior/leader at NDVO would have taken decision to ignore these 3 months and instructed his/her NDVO staff to start processing later months quickly for improvement of statistical data for Q3, Q4 2015 and Q1 2016. The drama of PPR for all these months, we are seeing here is all about political will and ambitions to prove in front of other political parties and public of Canada.. It is just repetition of Syrian refugees faster processing drama everyone have witnessed and the way they proved that they fulfilled their election commitment of bringing 25,000 Syrian refuges in 2 months..

Your theory could be a possibility. Really don't know how they are working on the files. I did visit the MP office yesterday and the case officer working there was surprised herself to see the data I provided based on the spreadsheets here on this forum regarding 2015 and 2016 applicants. She said the last update they had received from the immigration department was that they are going to clear the backlog and then move to the new applicants and that the time frame is going to be reduced to 6 months. The new times (6 months) will be posted around the fall time because they would like to clear all the backlog files first and then post the new times but that is how long a standard straightforward case would take after that time period. Lucky them. But I was persistent in whether our files are even being considered as backlog because that is only a year back and if they are processing 2016 applicants so quick, ours are just going to be sitting like the 2013/14 files. She said they have increased the spousal sponsorship cap and are accepting more immigrants under that category and have also cleared a lot of the backlog. Apparently the backlog had 320,000 applicants that they have to clear. And after the mandate of the new government went out to decrease spousal sponsorship times and to clear the backlog, in the month of April alone they cleared around 100,000 applications. She assured me that all the 2015 applicants should be hearing soon as they are pushing through more files now. To clear the backlog and put into action the new mandate, they require funding which they received at the end of April apparently. So keep your hopes high guys! We will all hear pretty soon!! Also, she took photocopies of the data I provided based on the spreadsheets for 2015 and 2016 and said she is going to ask the immigration department to look into this and provide an explanation. So lets see what she comes back with. Don't know if she will really follow up with them or it was just a way to please and calm me down. But in the past she has been quite helpful, so lets hope we all get to hear some good news!

My Guess would the volume of applicants in NDVO...It may have a significant impact on statistical data

If you look on Open Canada you can download statistics about Family Class applications. Viewing 2014, you can see that NDVO had 4,600 applications submitted out of a total of 40,826. That is not a big enough % of overall applications to drastically alter statistical data. While NDVO clearly has the most applicants it's only equal to Manila and Hong Kong. With many many other VO's world wide you can see how it really won't affect much if they only speed up NDVO.

PPR Received today at 1:30 am EST ;D ;D ;D

12th Feb 2016 applicant
NDVO
DM on 8th or 9th May 2016

This is God speed and we are extremely happy and joyful.

My wife is already in Canada on Visitor Visa and luckily they have given option of sending passport to Ottawa for stamping. Just dispatched her passport, 2 photos and the passport request letter along with an Xpressport envelope to Ottawa, should reach them by tomorrow.

Once we receive her stamped passport, can we go to a local office for her landing formalities or would need to go on a border crossing only?

If we have to go to the Niagara Falls border crossing, can I (Applicant's spouse who is already a PR) accompany my wife during the flag-poling process?

Anyone who has either got their landing formality done within a local office or flag-poling at the border, kindly share your experiences.

Cheers to everyone receiving DM and PPR
