Ottawa Pilot Office**

[Tina85]

Do you guys think if the application was sent to the Ottawa Pilot Office the processing time is shorter?? Considering the situations in some countries where all applications have been delayed etc...

They do not make mention of expediting cases going through CPP-O except for cases allowed on appeal with no background or security concerns. 

Perhaps the timing for applications that would go to countries affected by civil/military disturbances may be shorter than if they were processed in-country, perhaps they may take longer considering that some checks can only be done in-country.  There is no way of saying for sure based on information available about the office and its procedures.
