Hey guys,

So I just had a bad time reading the processing times, the last time I had checked it it was 8 months for CPP-O, now it has gone up to 15 months... I received my PER on January 22nd and I had the hope that my PR would be approved by this year, now this is very unlikely.

What do you guys think? I think there is nothing more than move on and forget about it for quite a while. I will just keep going with my life and maybe re-visit this forum by September or so.

Have a nice end of winter, spring and summer everyone! lol

Regards
ds3010

Even I am unhappy with the 15 months processing time...I am basically left hanging in the loop with no clear answer if my file would be processed...

I don't want to apply for CEC as well as it will mean collecting all the documents again, PCC (unnecessary pain in the ass with CGI) and above all $550 for application fee. I will be eligible for CEC in the end of May.

I guess I will wait until the end of June. So mad and sad..... :mad: :(

Welcome ta2!
Sorry about late but I added ta2's timeline :)

@ds3010, thanks for message! Have a good Spring and Summer too... See you September immediately when you get anything new ;D

@dbss, so sorry to hear that. We are on the same boat... I think many friends can understand your feeling and have the same frustration... but we're sure that our boat is due at Permanent Resident in future, so we don't need to lose our hope. let's keep updating :)

@volors @shanindia2007, Thanks for the helpful information!

VO : Visa Office. For processing times, see "Processing times for federal skilled worker applications" on CIC website. CIC explained that "Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) calculates processing times from the day CIC receives an application to the day it makes a decision on the application.". More details can be shown in Help Centre on CIC.

PER : Positive Eligibility Review - An email which shows your file number and so on. It will be sent from CIO if your application passes the initial eligibility review. See the other thread titled "What is PER", a senior's website or this pic for more details.

AOR : Acknowledgment of Receipt - An email which informs that your full documents have been received by visa office and has been put in queue for processing. Sometimes this is called "2nd AOR" or "Waiting letter" ; In this case, "1st AOR" means "PER". See the other thread titled "what is 2nd AOR" for more details.
You can also see the 2nd AOR from Vienna Visa Office here (Thanks Doni!)

MR : Medical Request - An email (or a regular mail) that requests you to take medical exams. It might be included in the Initial Assessment.

PPR : Passport Request or Confirmation of Permanent Residence - An email (or a regular mail) that requests you to send VO your passport. If you are a citizen of the countries or territories listed in CIC website, you probably receive a "Passport Request". If you are from the visitor visa exemptions country, you maybe receive a "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" instead of passport request and then you can go landing immediately.
