Yep, it's different. I don't think the fact that they requested more info from you is the reason why you got an IA. I have seen many people who got IAs who were never asked for additional documents (including us).
Also it seems not everybody does get an IA, and I guess nobody knows why that is
I have a very similar timeline as you and they sent my IA on Feb. 22, 2011. Pharoh got his the same time, but then he got PPR on 3/16 and I didn't. So, yeah, there's no consistency. My IA also waived my interview and said that no other documents were needed.
The one thing that might have delayed my application was that I hadn't paid the RPRF in the beginning. I paid it mid-Feb and it was received by Mississauga on Feb. 17 and they sent me a letter on March 8, 2011 saying that it has been processed and the information forwarded to Buffalo. I also had mailed a copy to Buffalo at the same time I had sent it to Mississauga in Feb. Then I emailed Buffalo to confirm that they received it after I got the notice from Mississauga, but they never responded.
The IA would have been sent before they got my RPRF fee and it was mentioned on there that it needed to be paid.
valy79 - did you pay your RPRF in the beginning or later on?
