Processing time for "We started processing your application on August 30,2013?"

[mayewam]

11 September 2013


This refers to your application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Your file has been transferred to the Case Processing Pilot in Ottawa for further review.



We wish to remind you at this time that if your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is outstanding, you must pay t his fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued . The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa.



If you delay the payment of the RPRF, your security or medical results may expire, which would delay the issuance of your visas. We therefore encourage you to pay the RPRF as soon as possible, by following these steps:



· Go to the website: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

· Read the instructions on each page, and click “ Continue ” to proceed

· Select the “ Immigration ” link, followed by “ Right of Permanent Residence Fee ”

· You must pay this fee once for yourself as principal applicant

· You must also pay this fee for your accompanying spouse or common law partner, if you have one

· Enter the number of fee payments (1 or 2) in the box beside the fee of $490

· Click “ Submit ”

· Proceed to pay your fees by selecting “ Pay ” and then follow the instructions to pay with a credit card



Once the payment process is complete, the web site will display your official receipt in PDF format.

You must send the receipt to CPP-O. For fastest service, please attach it to an email and send it to the address CPPO-Cost-Recovery@cic.gc.ca .



Please note : Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be valid at the time of visa issuance. If your passports have expired or will be expiring within the next 6 months, we encourage you to apply for new passports as soon as possible. Do not submit passports until CIC requests them.



Sincerely,



Citizenship & Immigration Canada

You guys should be getting PPR end of September or Early October, base on my co-workers timeline. As for me, I should be getting my PPR mid to end of October.
So a few more weeks for us!
My eCAS still states "In Process"

 

[bob2005]

Hopefully soon we will get PPR. Also looks like strike is also effecting time processing.

 

[vancouverbc2013]

I got the RPRF request 8 weeks ago!!!!! JUly 24

Do you guys have any idea how much longer i should wait and what I am waiting for????

My file is in Ottawa and i am from a country that needs a visa to enter Canada!!
(BC PNP, Semi-skilled category)

 

[zhu202]

Blackwine and may we three should stick together cuz our timeline is rather alike!
Cic started process my application on August20, 2013, and sent me an email to pay the RPRF on sep6,2013

 

[zhu202]

Hey may thanks for posting ur co-worker's timeline, that's really helpful and bring lots of hopes! So what I learnt from ur coworker's time line is 5weeks after the date that you paid RPRF, u should receive the PPR. Well I assume you guys all paid the money right after receiving that goddamn precious email, and then emailed the receipt back to CIC..
Anyway, good luck to us all!

 

[zhu202]

Mayeworm how are you doing? Are sure ur coworker doenst remember his/her time line wrong??

 

[zhu202]

Now that I look at ur coworker's timeline, he/she got the "Decision Make" before was asked to pay the RPRF?!

 

[mayewam]

Yes you're right Zhu202, their eCAS updated as DECISION MADE before they received RPRF and PPR.. it took longer for them actually since it was the time of the strike when they submitted their application.. but then starting June, there were movements in the immigration already, like for me I got my medical request and they got their RPRF etc..

So we will just have to wait..

for sure anytime now, you will get your PPR soon! Let's just cross our fingers..

I know the wait is killing you.... I also feel the same way!

 

[zhu202]

We'll i don't know if any of u guys are gonna have a life changing or not when receiving the PR, but for me it is! I have an engineering degree, and I'm sick of being asked about my status of remaining in Canada. I just wanna get this shit done and go work for the oil rig company. Long story for me, hopefully the happy ending will come soon

Cic started process my application on August20, 2013, and sent me an email to pay the RPRF on sep6,2013

I hope both of us get luck. I paid RPRF right front when I apply PR by bank draft. I think total is $550+$490

Also the average from "in process" to "request passport" talk 2 month.
So keep waiting.
