Hi PrCan,

Got ur PM,thanks for sharing ur status.no update this Tuesday,same 'RBVO'.

I found from trackitt,that 'Detroit VO will not issue PPR until july 2011'(read 1st msg from bholabhaiya) and 'LA won't issue PPR until April2011'(read 25th msg from gurrapus)
http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussion-forums/federal-skilled-workers/655042611/if-you-received-ppr-after-15th-jan-2011-please-respond

from bholabhaiya(Detroit VO)
Recently one candidate from Detroit got the following response while waiting on his PPR (post medicals):

"CIC is working to closely manage arrivals in Canada so that we meet, but do not exceed, the immigration levels plan set by Parliament last fall for 2011. Since we have larger inventories than room within the immigration plan for admissions to Canada, we must stagger the issuance of visas throughout the year. As a result, we will not be in a position to issue a visa to you until July of this year. We expect to send the instructions to you approximately in June."

But this should be irrespective of the local visa office, and applicable to all candidates. Hence if you received your PPR after 15th Jan this year, we can consider the above as some sort of an exception or a case where a standard reply was forwarded by CIC.


from gurrapus(LA VO)

to bholabhaiya:

Hi I got my passport request on 29 December. I sent my passports on 12 January 2011. Yesterday, I recieved a mail from CIC Los Angeles saying that they are not issuing PR Visa until 1 April 2011 and they can retun my passports back if I need them.

This is very frustrating...

Anyways, hoping to finish this soon...


Our forum member 'small duck' from NY VO got PPR yesterday dated 1April,2011 and this is gud news for all NY applicants.hope things will start moving on for Detroit and LA applicants too.

Let's hope for the best :)
All the Best.
Regards

Hi PrCan, Thanks for sharing ur status :)

so,I think this address disappearing is part of GCMS transition and the LA website says so
'IMPORTANT NOTICE:We are updating our computer software. As a result, applications submitted in March and April 2011 may take longer than usual to process. Until further notice, we will not offer same-day service. Thank you for your understanding'
