I tried to reach out to them twice in past but it was a standard reply from them asking to wait patiently. :(

Hello Guys,

I am under QSW category. I am still waiting for my medical from past almost 12 months. I have not received any communication except the file number from CPP-O

Applied to Federal (sydney) - March 2012
AOR - April 2012 ( Only AOR, No Medical request was part of it)
File Transferred to Ottawa - May 2012
Medical - Waiting, Waiting and Waiting

Is there anyone in similar boat (waiting for medicals!!)??
It's Ok, it seems for people how applied in March 2012 they didn't send medical. Are u outside of Quebec?

Kindly complete the following forms (IMM8, Schedule A and Family Composition form) to update the file.

Thess forms should be done in your application package since you sent them to CIC. Why they need them again?

Guess what happened, I sent them an email and 2 hours later at 9.50 p.m. O.O, I got the ppr email. what a relief, thank you everybody on this forum for your help and input, and good luck to all those who are still waiting, I waited for 25 month (Since feb 2011) and they only contact me twice, on August 2011 to do the medical and yesterday with the PPR. I know how stressful it can be, so hang in there and stay positive.
congrats!!!!

Hi All,
How many of the Pre-Sept 2011 applicants left on this forum with no response from CPP-Ottawa ??? ?

FAQ updated at CPP-Ottawa
"All applications received before 1 September 2011 in Buffalo have now been reviewed. All principal applicants who submitted applications before this date should have received a communication from the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa office. If you have not received any instructions or updates from CPP-O and you fall within this group, please contact the Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 with your name and file number (if known). "

ARE WE GOING TO BE THE FORGOTTEN ONES ...??? ?

Yes called CIC call center. Their first reaction was like "ooh we dont know" ... however the call center agent told that he is going to send a note to their partner (may be he meant CPP-O)

One thing is for sure... call center agent was not sure of this note in FAQ by CPP-O...

I called the number above and the call center agent kept on saying the same dumb thing, "Sorry sir but we don't have any information on the cases/files which are being processed outside Canada, i can surely send you an email of the website which has the contact information for the processing center."

Thanks but no thanks.................
