The problem is that Buffalo or Ottawa waited till Feb. 2013 to initiate my BG checks.
I don't know about yours.
26 months after I applied to Buffalo my BG checks were initiated, can you believe it?

Yes I got the response today from CPP-O, although not an encourgaing once

Dear XYZ;

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in many different ways, including health, security and criminality.

Background checks or further investigation are necessary in relation with the processing of your and / or your spouse's application. Therefore, the time needed for the processing of this application has fallen outside the timeframe set out in the AOR letter.

Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities.

Our office will contact you and / or your spouse as soon as all verifications are completed, or as soon as more information, documents or an interview are required.

Delays in the processing of visa applications are always frustrating to all concerned.

For future reference, in all correspondence to our office please refer to the applicant's full name, date of birth and file number.

Regards,

i didn't receive anything yet. its almost 1 month my ecas is showing decision made. i sent an email on april 2nd to my officer to know the status of my application. the next day he /she replied me like this " you should be receiving further instruction regarding the next step of your application".
though he didnt give me any rough time frame. still waiting for ppr. :(
Did they send you any email? I do not know why it is taking too long after a decision has been made!

i'm a PNP applicant here is my timeline:

-app filled for the federal late november 2011
-AOR on January 23 2012
-med done April 12 2012
-med results received March 05 2012

-e-cas statut change to "in process" on February 27th 2013
-e-cas statut change to "decision made" on March 11th 2013

I'm still waiting to get a PPR request or worst case scenario a refusal.
I didn't get any contact from CPP-O so far soever by e-mail or courier.
I sent an e-mail to CPP-0 last monday to know if i should wait longer or if they already tried to contact me they reply 24H later, here's what a get:

"Dear Sir/Madam,

Your file is currently in progress at our office. No action on your part is required.

An officer responsible for your file will contact you when your action is required.

In meantime, please ensure your contact information is up to date.

We thank you for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

It has been 4 weeks now my statute changed to "decision made",
I usually like suspense but not really in this case scenario
Hi,
Did you get any further instruction after the decision made in your ecase?

I think background checks have some expiry date as well and they expire same as medicals and then they redo them.
Anyways keep faith bro. In the end immigration is just a small part of your life, and there are other bigger things to worry about. :)
