Guys, don`t you say at these times "I wish if i submitted my application earlier :P"

I sent application exactly 4 days after ITA. Still waiting. No news since Nov 18th!
 
OMG..this is unbelievable!! What is wrong with CIC?? Yet another day without PPR’s :o :o
Both Oct & Sep thread are PPR dry from almost a week now & I doubt if any other thread is receiving PPR. It cannot be a coincidence that suddenly BG for all applicants have become complex enough to get processed, there has to be some reason for this delay/gap. Seems either they have changed their strategy with respect to issuing PPR’s and decided to issue them lot wise or something else is cooking. Whatever it is, I just hope that they recommence the PPR’s at the earliest & we get relieved from this ceaseless wait…
 
@HMK, you have had at least some sort of communication from them recently, look at my timeline, I just feel that my file fell through the cracks into oblivion on my agent's desk. I ordered GCMS twice and there was no update on my file at all.

I am hoping for miracles here.

Another update guys (I'll put more information in a separate thread): It's easy to obtain the PCC for South Korea from the embassy. I visited the embassy today and was able to fill up a form (Mix of Korean and English & easy to fill) and submitted the form (They need the passport + Alien registration number and 1 passport size photograph). Expected timeline for delivery of PCC is 7 to 10 working days.

Hope it helps others needing South Korean PCC..

Don't worry mate, more or less we are all in the same boat. I am hopeful that our prayers will be answered soon but it's very important for all us to just have faith & not lose hope at this stage..so lets just stay connected & keep each other motivated :)
