Dear all,
I got PPR yesterday night. I'm inland applicant, VO is Ottawa. My timeline is
APP: 2016-04-20
AOR: 2016-06-10
MER: 2016-09-02
RPRF: 2016-10-03
DM: 2017-04-12
PPR: 2017-04-13
Some tips that may faster your application (personal observation, not officially true):
1 Pay the processing fee online
I think most people who has similar timeline with me paid their fee online and got their AOR in around 4 weeks (the time between APP and AOR may vary, 4 weeks only apply to the period when I sent my application), but I stupidly paid the processing fee by paper authorizing, and got AOR in 7 weeks.
2 Pay RPRF upfront
As I observed, most people in this forum paid their RPRF upfront and got PPR in 11 months. However people paid RPRF when requested got PPR in 12 months, e.g. raja, roadtonowhere and me.
Another thought that may help you estimate your processing time (personal opinion) :
I think most inland applicants got their CSQ based on PEQ and are holding work permit even a job offer, CIC may put those people in priority. But for me, I got my CSQ under regular skill worker program and just holding a study permit without job offer, so my PPR comes later than others.
CIC may send a certain amount of DM and PPR every month, if PPR did not come this month, it must be coming next month.
Thank goodness, thank everything. Good luck for every applicant.
