I have a PNP in process. But since my file was transferred to the local office ie New Delhi, I haven't heard anything from them. I emailed them and they said its In process. All the interview and sponsorship is done, even paid the immigration fee, just waiting for he medical request as of May 2014. I do t see any valid reason for the delay. One of my friends had his application completed and visa issued well on time, even though he applied just a month before me.
Hi Param, it seems your file is with one of the Fat, lazy officer ;) . Don't worry you will get PR before year end

All the best.

I applied for police clearance from Japan as requested by CIC, and it is taking longer than expected to get it from Japan. Now the problem is the two months time give by CIC is going to expire in two weeks. what should I do?

When you applied for PCC from Japan, did you receive any receipt? If yes, you can send an explanation letter along with your receipt to CIC (Even if you don't have any receipt, you can explain why you can't provide PCC on time because delay is not in your side) and I think they will accept your delay at all.
You should send the letter to the email address of your local visa office or you can also send them an Specific Case Enquiry.

Good Luck.

Thanks for replying.... The spreadsheet which you shared was of great help. But I have a doubt regarding some of the entries there in the timeline. It seemed highly unusual for the NDVO to send a MR in the same month the file was transferred. Considering the fact that most of the applicants like me have to wait more that a year for them to reply.

I would like to write to Specific case inquiry. However, where do I get the address of it? Japanese embassy did not provide a PCC receipt to me.
Thank you very much victorpapa for your kindness

Hi Victor,
I have a question regarding to a processing date and time.
In my case, cic online service has show that I applied for PR on March 18 2014 and they startd processing in Oct 8 2014.
Then, i got a medical test required at the same time but my heath wasn't that good. So they rejected my application.
My laywer sent cic a letter to explain my situation. I have been waiting for 3 months and have no response from cic.
I checked my online service yesterday and its changed to "we started processing your apllication on April 15 2014" which is 6 months earlier.

I don't understand. Can you help me to explain it!?
Thank you,

Hi
I am looking for to contact CIO-Sydney to request for extension of PCC submission date which is currently Oct 20/2015. I applied for PCC from Japan on the same day I got request for it from CIO-Sydney. Now I got an email from Japanese Consulate in Calgary and it says it may take 2-3 month and I may be getting it in Mid-Nov/2015.
now the question is, how/where do I communicate this matter to extend the deadline? other than that I got everything ready ( Medical done, RCMP, RPRF etc)

I appreciate your help.

@victorpapa


i saw some timelines of LVO that after AOR about 4 to 5 months to take staus change from receive to Inprocess and then after the date of in process it took 14 to 20 days to get MR point is back in 2014 it took 4 to 5 moths to second line update but in my case i got second line update after 15 days of AoR


any opinion ??
Are you sure of this for the inlanders or outlanders? I am PN applicants from Nigeria. My LVO is Accra Ghana:

My details Appl sent to CIO : May 18th 2015
Appl received : June 8th 2015
AOR : July 8th 2015
Status : In Process - Aug. 8th
MR : Not Yet

So, I am not sure whether your assertion above is correct that it takes 14-20 days for LVO to update line for MR. Is there anything so specific about Ghana LVO, it takes so long to process application there. In my case I did not see file transfer e-mail but In process has been the status since Aug.8th.

Any suggestion or clue guys?

Regards,

Gbemilanre

For those who like to find out how many months will their PNP applications take to be finalized these days, I have a Scenario:

I think this scenario can represent their workflow for current 45 days processing time frame at CIO level for Outland applications:
1- They do their completion check within first 30 days and if any signature is missed or something is wrong with application, they will return it to applicant from 30 to 35 days.
2- If one application is OK and passed previous level then they will do their validity checks for provided documents for example for nomination letter, payment receipt,... from 35 to 40 days
3- They finalize applications passed two previous levels and they insert it in their online system and get UCI & file numbers from 40 to 45 days.
4- They send AOR to applicant from 45 to 48 days!

And I think After CIO level these could happen next at Local Visa Office level:

1- CIO transfer applications to their assigned local visa offices within next 3 weeks after EP AOR date.(Transfer)
2- Visa Office will start processing received applications within next 1 to 2 months after application delivered to visa office (In Process)
3- They send Medical request and RPRF within next month after they started processing application (Medical and RPRF request)
4- They receive Medical Results within next month after medical request date If applicant go to do medical without any delay. (Medical Result Received by Visa Office)
5- They will finalize application and send passport request within next month after medical result and RPRF received (Passport Request)
6- They issue visa and stamp passport and send back passport in next two weeks after they receive passport! (Visa Issue)

The whole processing time will be 45 days at CIO level and 3 months(MINIMUM) to 6 months (MAXIMUM) at Local Visa Office level (because any of rows 2,3 & 5 can be done in few days!)

GOOD LUCK everybody!
Amazing Victor!

Merci!
