Thanks for your kind words. Hope to start new year in Canada …Hey, I don't think it is because you are an Outland applicant. I applied from outside too and I already have my ppr stamped on my passport. Maybe it is something extra they are checking on or simply the office where your docuements were sent to. Like I said before, do not worry about the "no change of status"since the application can move forward without that change. I am sure won't take much longer!! By the beggining of 2022 you will be in Canada Srisundarcan
