I think being a little more patient will pay.
Some are lucky to get the PR in 5 months. If you look at the Buffalo processing time for PNP
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/04-provincial.asp#westonly half the cases are getting completed in 6 months the remaining half takes 7,8,9..... months.
And I have seen a belief among members here that they will get AOR in two months PPR in another two months which is only the best case scenario.
5-9 months should be considered normal. And with the given economic situation and the large number of PNP applications because of the AINP SRS it is taking longer.
I am sure CIC folks would have asked AINP to cut down on the number of nominations issued, as a result they just removed IT occupations from the list. Effectively denying 90% of H1B holders the opportunity to apply for PR.
If you look at trackitt.com under Buffalo PNP there are lot of December, Jan, Feb AORs waiting for PPR.
So I think folks who have reached this stage in the process should be a bit more patient as rasco suggested. We are in a much better position compared to those who just applied or were planning to apply for AINP.
Its just a couple of extra months wait.
