That was something I read on another forum

CPP-O is simply a satellite office, but respective LVO's have to stamp visa ultimately and I think that's the case for "Mockava", her folks are on Supervisa, yet she was asked to send passports to home country

User828 and northclare and everybode else

Just to clarify. We have not received passport request yet, only status has changed to " decision made" . We are hoping to receive it, hoping permanent residence is approved, that is why I am asking if anybody got the actual request letter. My mother is back home, not here with super visa. We never even applied for it as from my country we do not require visa to visit Canada nor USA, but mom curently is back home, however I am a rep so I am expecting the letter.

Thanks Mockava. You are in same position as me. Really hoping that PPR comes soon as my parents are planning to visit in October and would be nice if they could become PR at that time! Fingers crossed we hear something soon.

That's another example of how cases can seem similar but have a very different timeline. In your case you only had to wait a month to be called for medicals whereas we had to wait nearly 3 months but now we are both waiting and hoping for some new progress .Some have had cases updated very quickly and others not. We cannot expect that there is a recognisable and regular timeline as there clearly isn't so we can only wait and hope that each one of us will get there before too long.

Where are your parents coming from?

They are coming from India, New Delhi.

Hi All, I have an update on my file, well, not really an update but some info. Couple of days back I asked MP office to do a status inquiry on the file. Below is what I got.

• After Medicals received (I guess after found medical results are successful) file was transferred to New-Delhi.
• File came back to Ottawa from New-Delhi.
• For now, Ottawa will process the file. As per them, this is a good news, as the file gets processed faster

Not sure what was going on. Unfortunately, I do not have any dates/reasons for when/why was it transferred and so on. They only gave me high level status.

As per eCAS, PR status is still 'Application Received'. Not sure if this adds more delay to processing.

P.S.: Please excuse me if this info further darkens the hopes of applicants who were sitting and checking eCAS status daily like me wondering what was happening. I just want to share this so that we can be better prepared.

You can order GCMS notes to find out why they had transferred the file to ND. My parents case also they have asked medicals from ND for last year.

But what if parents are in Canada on visitor visa? What happens to the passport request? Would they still require passports to be sent to an LVO or do they have some other alternative? E.g sending to a US based VO or to Ottawa?
Anyone in this situation?

My parents are in Canada with Super Visa since April. We received PPR, MR, and additional docs request from MANILA visa office. The requests are dated June, we got it in July. We sent my parents' passports to MANILA via courier last month. Now my parents e-cas shows IN PROCESS--"we started processing your application on August 3, 2012." For their medical, we contacted the DMP/E who conducted the examination for my parents' Super Visa.

I agree. One of my workmates received PPR from Ottawa. The letter she got is somewhat similar to what you posted. However the timeframe is not 30 days, she got 45 days. The passport was asked to send to Manila, not in Seattle. Her mom is here in Canada.
