I submitted my initial app to NS (Feb 2012), then it got routed to CPP-Ottawa for Meds (Apr 2012), then it got routed to NY consulate in NY to actually process my file (Apr 2013). My FBI background check had expired so had to wait an additional 6 weeks to receive the new ones. Then about 2 weeks after they received my updated FBI, I received the PPR. I currently live in the US. Hope this timeline inspires others who are still waiting. There is still hope! BTW, how do I attach my stats to my profile name?
