I think prevousely they were asking for medical before security checks where as now they are requesting medicals after security checks which ultimately reduces the duration between MR & PPR..destination canada said:dear jimmy, i think you are slightly wrong, what is happening is that LVO is running out of time to clear with the backlog target by the end of 2014, so who ever is getting MR lately is getting PPR faster. if you see the spreed sheet, you will find most of the ppls who got PPR with in a month, they also got MR in jan/feb 2014, its also a factor that they are prioritizing ME applicants.
