    My PPR email didn't contain a signature. I received it at 7pm so I presume the VO was working over-time and was just rushing through these emails, probably forgot to attach his/her signature. For my RPRF/Biodata request email, the VO was EM5578, however it's very likely that the PPR emails was...

    If you read my timeline posted above, you can see that I received my passport today (Nov. 6th). From the day CIC received my passport (Oct. 24, 2013) to the day they sent it back (Nov. 05, 2013) it took 12 days (or 9 business days). I'm using this as the yardstick because it takes out your...

    John C Kuhlmann is terrible. I called and they told me it takes them 2 weeks to upload emedical. So I went to Kitchener with Dr. Daniel Garrett , everything was done in the same building and only cost $177 in total. Extremely nice guy, the entire process took 1.5 hrs and my emedical was uploaded...

    Decision Made and waiting for PPR - Enter your details here

    For those who got DM status not long after CIC received your medical results, you will most likely get your PPR very soon. No one can tell how long it will take exactly, because it varies by person (and by case officer obviously). CIC received my medical results on a Thursday (I happened to...

    I got my PPR the evening my status changed to DM last Monday ( around 7pm, I was surprised the VOs actually are working overtime now :P ). I did get my biodata/RPRF request the week before, I submitted those but then in my PPR I was asked for them again. Some others have had different...

    Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

    I did all 3, I replied to the RPRF email request with the pdf receipt, sent one to cppo-cost-recovery @ cic.gc.ca, and then when I got PPR, it asked for RPRF again, so I also sent in a physical receipt with my passport.

    Rare situation, really need advice !

    I highly recommend you talk to your company to get rid of the "intern" in your title for the reference letter. Even though your job isn't part of an academic program, the VO could get confused and put your application under review status. So try your best not to have the word intern in your...

    Anyone having trouble sending PM?

    I keep getting this when I click on "send message" for PMs. Method Not Implemented POST to /canada-immigration-discussion-board/index.php not supported. The error message seems to indicate I was trying to post directly to the board, even though I clearly was on the PM sending page. Anyone...

    Thanks for sharing! My tracking just got updated to "Item successfully delivered" at 12:46pm. So it looks like the tracking update is just a hit and miss.

    It looks like we got our PPR on the same day. :D I used Xpresspost to mail everything out the next morning, to the courier address (365 Laurier Avenue West). Currently the tracking says "Out for delivery". I've read posts where people say their status gets stuck at ""Out for delivery"; some...

    The best source is this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/waiting-for-ppr-after-medicals-add-your-case-here-t152280.825.html You can see that based on the list it takes from a few days to 3 months since CIC received your medical (note that this is neither...

    I really don't think you would save any time paying RPRF in advance, given that the request always arrives with Biodata. So even if you pay it in advance, they will probably still ask for it again when they send you the Biodata form since that's the standard email they send out. What would save...

    help for generic application form(Urgent)

    That's the VISA office you wish to have you PR application processed. Put down CPP-Ottwa NOT Sydney. Frankly it probably only matters when you put down a foreign VISA office that actually processes PR application. When I filed my application last October, I had CPP-Ottwa in the field, but my...

    Can Dates on PR Photos be Hand-written?

    Thanks for the input everyone, especially jsm and BigBee. However I do want to point out that I'm referring to the 2 PR photos asked during passport request, not the 6 pictures for the initial application. The wordings in the requirements are different, and there is no clear indication of...

    Thanks! I called around and asked each doctor how long it would take them to submit eMedical. It's surprising how some doctors told me 2 weeks... I went with the doctors in Kitchener, who told me 3 to 4 days. And I was able to book an appointment right away. I'm not sure if "Decision Made"...
