I would love to know too.. from what I’ve read: People applying in Oct/Nov 2016 are just getting their PPR or passing background check. Sometimes some lucky guys applying at the begining of 2017 are getting PPR too, but I didn’t find out how it is possible or what it depends on (some of them had upfront medical, some of them had NOC A, B or 0, so probably doesn’t really matter on what your occupation is, some of them were from Alberta/Ontario/BC...) It pretty much depends on what officer is checking your application or it may be only some random selection... who knows..
