PNP process over 16 month

[nima514]

my eCas:
I am a Quebec selected skilled worker, PhD student.
Here is my eCas:
In Process:
We received your application for permanent residence on December 16, 2010.
We started processing your application on February 21, 2012.
Medical results have been received.

No PPR yet (almost 17 months).

I can think of many reasons that my application is delayed:
1. My occupation is not as much in demand as other occupations.
2. My background checks are not finished yet.
3. This year's quota is finished. the new quota opens on June 26 or so I heard.
4. All officers are busy and I need to wait till one is assigned to me.

please let me know what you think.
thanks

im a dec 2010 applicant i emailed catherine the manager in buffalo a week ago still no answer...n i know another guy who emailed her last month....no answer i have no clue wat these guys r doin there with our application....n it seems like its not our right 2 know....

I used to email Cath and said I really need the PR status to arrange my life in Canada...blah blah blah.... In the reply, she said she will forward my info to the processing team responsible to my case. After half month I get the PPR. You can try to contact her gently again and tell her more. Good luck.

Ecas shows In Process with the following notes:

Application received in January 2011
Started processing on Aug 2011
Medical results have been received in November

What is initial assessment all about? I don't think I received such an email.

They start finalizing your application once the initial assessment is complete.

Dear Applicant:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview. We reserve the right to call you to an interview should it become necessary at some future stage in processing.

I sent a couple of emails trying to figure out what folks at Buffalo are doing on my application
and all I received was stupid automated emails. It's really frustrating. A friend of mine was lucky
and his file was transferred to Loss Angles and it took his application 1.5 months to be finalized.
I don't know what is going on in Buffalo but I am very concerned about the way they are handling
my application.
btw, are you a Quebec selected worker?

I am also Applicant under QSW. Applied in December-2010 Medical done April 2011. IA received Feb 2012, no documents, no interview required from me. Waiting for PPR. Inquired regarding my application from buffalo office and got standard reply "In process, and do not required any thing from me"  I dont know what will happen if medical will expire? Is there any one who have some idea?

Hi! Is there anything new with your application?

I can relate to your frustration.I also emailed our visa office a couple of times but only get automatic reply.  The fact that applicants who applied after us got their visa already added to my worries. Also some applicants got their MR and PPR at the same time.

I'm an NB provincial nominee.

I think we should apply to get our CAIPS soon.

I think we should apply to get our CAIPS soon.

That's my plan too if nothing comes up after 17 months since processing time on our VO is 17 months.

I applied in MPNP general stream in dec 2010 and my case is too slow. I got a temp file number last dec 2011 and mailed the required documents in the same month. My sponsor havent received an interview call, nor I received my LOA. Whats wrong :    @  

[Manitoba123]

My case is 17+ months old and I havent even recived my loa.... All of the cases mentioned above atleast got their PPR or had their medicals done and completed approx 80% of their cases. And look where I am standing. Not even a LOA : @  whats wrong : @
