Yes, Matt.

Did they ask you for any documents after IP? They asked me to provide the updated reference letters and T4s last May. And then after that I have never heard anything from them.

I got am email also from Pilot-OTT last Feb 27 2013 asking for same + COE (cert of employment) I sent them first week of March and up to now I haven't heard anything from them. Before that I requested for CAIPS, and seen in there that they requested that said documents Feb. 15 2013.. So if someone has the same timeline with us, kindly share your experience/timeline.
I was asked the same set of docs too and I sent them in mid of march. You are waiting for more than a month, so clearly, I still have some more waiting's :( I hope you will inform any further updates from herein. I'll do the same.
Good luck!!

Hi Buddy,

we are in the same boat. There is actually very few member here still waiting for Medicals. I have sent them inquiry lately. However, they just tell me that I am in the queue to wait for an officer to review my case. I really don't know how they are dealing with the backlog.
Hello Katy, request for CAIPS notes, it takes 1 mos before they send the results, you can choose either via snail mail or email, i did choose email and right then and there I see when is my next bf'd.. So that you will know whats going on now with your documents. Well its a good sign that they emailed u back. As I've noticed here, usually 10 mos after medicals follows PPR, hope before our medicals expires will get that most expected email of all emails... Goodluck!!!

Hi Koryano,

Well, there are many that received medical from Ottawa and 2 to 3 months after they were asked for PPR. It is all random too thou. There is no logical order for backlog. Hopefully you will have it soon before your medical expires.

Unfortunally, I have not got the medical request yet so far. Hopefully, they can be awake quickly, or at least give me a reason for the long delay.

Hi Matt/Koryano,

I got the updated document request after my medical expiration. Probably, they extended it for another one year, so they have another 12 months to work on my application "hehe" . FSW3 is very slow.

Hi all
I have been following these discussions for a while. Thought I would share my timeline too
I applied under FSW category (There was a provision for International students to apply for PR, after successfully completing one year of schooling in Canada. But that provision no longer exists now).

June 25th 2010: Applied to Sydney NS
November 8, 2010: Buffalo
File moved to Ottawa CPP (July 2012; MP informed me)
Medicals request: Sept 2012
Medicals done: Oct 2012
RPRF request: Feb 19, 2013
RPRF submitted: Feb 20, 2013

During RPRF request I have been informed that I am eligible for PR but my background checks (admissibility criteria; medical, pcc and criminal records are under review)

My MP told me that the current processing time in Ottawa is approximately one year. So, it looks like it will be several more months yet until my application is finalized.
How long it would take to get a PPR request after RPRF?
I shall do it when I get tim, else anyone can do based on my prev tracker list.
