I have a theory that SPVO waits for security to clear BEFORE picking up the file to do the final review and perhaps that's why it seems like they take so long to do anything after the file get's transferred to them.

On that note how is your security? Do you see S15(1) on the corner of your SECURITY under ADMISSIBILITIES? Like it's explained this post here - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/gcms-notes-well-explained-has-never-before-until-now-t390292.0.html

If so then your security is done and SPVO is just being lazy then...
You may be right, because there was no S15.1 on my pages yet. Maybe they were waiting for security... I'll know on my next notes.

Hey Thiago, we are in a very similar situation here!
By the way, have you submitted Schedule 4 as part of your e-APR? If not, is there a mention to your Schedule 4 as "not started" on your GCMS? (Such as mine)
I didn't, since it is not requested upfront, but a lot of PNP applicants send it beforehand, due to CIC's tradition of requesting it at some point... Concerned about any possible delays. :'(
I haven't submitted Schedule 4, and my mentions Cancelled for that... But I've uploaded the provincial nomination certificate through a CSE just in case, not sure if that makes any difference though.

From what I've read on the forum, schedule 4 is requested randomly nowadays.

I am also a PNP and haven't submitted my Schedule 4, in the end I wasn't asked to fill out the form. They seem to request this doc every now and then

How about you dhvs, did you order GCMS notes recently too? How is the security section on your? Do you see an S15(1) in there? Or were you the one with S16(1)? My memory is failing me recently.. :(

Another one from Brazil
I received my ITA on the 1st of March and I am now getting all documents together in order to send my application.

Foreign Employment - Just the letter, right?
Canadian Employer - Letter + T4 + Pay Stubs?
Police Clearance from Brazil - The one we get online, right? That should be translated I'd assume. What is the validity of that document?
The rest seems to be very straightforward (Medicals, Passport, Photos)

Guys, I've found a few more cases of PPRs from SPVO so I'll put then in here to give us better visibility:

p4022 - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/express-entry-eapr-submitted-in-december-2016-t462995.0.html;msg5859330#msg5859330

emaildomw - https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/november-2016-aor-permanent-residency-tracker/cases/case-10233

Also vfonte has disappeared from the forum, he's been inactive since Nov last year when he said he had an interview. I PM'ed him a few days ago and last year and nothing... I'll grey out his name.

With this new data I'd say that SPVO is not as bad as it seemed! I'm guessing PNP and FSW are probably processed by different officers and the PNP queue is bigger so it's looking good for jreisg and dhvs for the next PPRs :) Good luck guys.

Unfortunately vfonte's application was rejected after the interview. I've talked with him in PM and he told me that.

By the way, congrats to everyone who received PPR recently!!!
