Which office sent you PPR, Ottawa or Buffalo?
If, and most likely, it is Ottawa, that will be a dramatic change in the procedure because normally, in the old way, Ottawa will forward your file to Buffalo and only Buffalo has the right to issue PPR and Visa stamp. Now, it looks like Ottawa can do the same as Buffalo. It is not clear if they will do the same for the applicants in the U.S. If so, it will speed up the process and every body knows Buffalo will take long long time to complete the process and also forward to local VO in the U.S. to initiate PPR. Will see what is going to happen.
