Many congratulations to rafzy and other applicants who've got their ppr!!!

Dedicated and TicTocCroc - Relax guys. Break it up.

This forum is both supportive and informative. This is why I have always been saying from the beginning - "The processing time is 6 months. Anything that you get before that is a gift". I have seen people having "too much" hope and the anxiety + disappointment shatters them. I have gone through this first hand while waiting for my nomination (11 + months of wait while it should have been 3 months #mystory). So, do NOT expect anything before 6 months.

Plus, you have to understand, IRCC processes 80% of the applications in 6 months. There is no "maximum" processing time. So, there are people waiting for around 14 - 15 months too. Rafzy got his visa stamped in under 2 months from AOR which is a very great thing. They did not make him wait for 14 months. A month's delay (well within the 6 month processing time) is acceptable by me (and I hope by the majority of the applicants here).

If you have been following the thread, you would have known that Schedule A is a very commonly requested document if -

1) You have answered YES to one of the statutory questions
2) If you have left gaps in any of the sections (particularly personal history section)
3) IRCC wants you to complete the form for any reason they think they want a confirmation from you.

In your case, I suppose scenario #1 applies. Did you answer YES to any of the statutory questions or did you leave any gaps in your personal/address history sections?

Answer to all the questions in NO. that's why i'm baffled about the request.

Oh okay. No biggie, nothing to get a twist over. Submit what they are asking for ASAP (the sooner you submit, the better).

Yes, it is Paris. RoseEllie6 wrote that she is from France and that her office is Paris.

chunka-tuna is Inland, so I think it's Ottawa VO.

one more dimension to this is inland Vs outland, for e.g. CEC doesnt mean inland and FSWs does not always mean outland ...what am surprised about is no progress on PNPs. Ideally they have already gone one level of verification/qualification so it should be relatively faster ( just my guess )

yes, this was the case a year ago and say till early July.
Not now sadly

Agreed. Sadly, PNP-O applicants have the longest wait times I suppose (compared to other streams).

Guys,

PR's processing luck doesn't favor me . Today I talked with the CIC agent, she confirmed me about a fault of my medical . But that was not by me or my medical problem. She said I am OK until the CIC asked me to do the medical again (if they want)!!! I went to the medical center and asked why they put Visitor status in my medical information sheet. She (the receptionist) said, they were doing that as a normal permanent residency application not as an Express Entry permanent residency application!!!! She said I didn't said her that I am under Express Entry!!! Guys what I should do to her? During my medical, she asked me the reason for medical? I said permanent residency. How do I know there are two if she don't ask me!!!! What a f**king experience. Now they are going to give a note to CIC about the misunderstanding. Do you guys know that Medical office is in Australia (how funny, we are in Canada and applied for Canadian PR, and the office is in Australia)!

Let's see how the things are now going!!!

Did you do the normal set of exames for your medicals (HIV, Sifilis and Chest X-Ray)? If so, did you pass all of them (all negative)? I think you'll be fine and not have to redo anything...

Look on the bright side, a year ago they would have probably cancelled you application outright due to wrong medical, at least now they are trying to make it work, so try not to worry.

In fact, due to the recent changes they made where family can no longer do FAMILY EDE, a lot of people are doing VISITOR, so don't worry. You'll be fine!
