How long did you wait for your PPR after medicals?

[maple]

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to give feedback.

Some of you - I am happy that the process moved swiftly.

Some of you - you have proven that patience is indeed a virtue!

I hope and pray that we all get our PPR's soon!!!!

Any more feedback from the rest of this forum's members will be most welcome.

Hey cajoejoe,
I hope all of us 2008 applicants will be through really soon. It has been a long wait and I hope that long-waited mail with the approval letter is on the way. The E case shows no details since May 2009 except the date of receiving the application. The situation is bitter.
I will keep updating whatever progress I might get.

Atleast you have something on ECASE. in my case, the online status has been the same from initial application filled. Been 4 months still waiting for PPR. I hope we hear positive news, for all.

cajoejoe,

Did you contact them lately?

Maple;


It took about one day to get the generic reply from Buffalo (the case is in process) and the online status as i mentioned from the day i applied until now has never changed. I am waiting for the letter, that I sent via regular mail. I am a US citizen, so there is no other countries background check; i am assuming (when they ask for the Medical, they are done with the background checks). My hunch is that Ottawa might be swamped. However, wanted to get everyone's experience or their thoughts on this. As mentioned this been well over 4 months mark. one final note, i forgot to mention the lady in medical office when phoned Ottawa regarding the status of my medical. She said usually there is 3-to-6 months for medical process. I guess i will wait and see.

Hi,

Are you sure your DMP has sent your medical form to Ottawa? It has been 4 months to wait for PPR!!!

Could you let me know the phone number, please?

I called the medical office where i did the exam. The nurse in DMP office called the Ottawa Office (I do not have any numbers). She informed, if there was a problem with the medical they would have been notified (further testing etc), and if there was problem on my part not doing the medical i would have received a notice. Having said that, as mentioned i wrote a letter to buffalo office notifying them of my situation. If i don't hear anything by end of this month, i shall send a copy of receipt for the medical exam.

Thanks for the response. I would suggest you send the receipt copy now rather than wait till the end of the month. Based on other posts, many of applicants have sent the receipt to their local visa offices as soon as when they got the receipt from DMP. I did it by fax and email. But I think either way is fine.

Hopefully you will not wait for so long. I am guessing that Buffalo is starting issuing pprs these days so it clears the 2008 backlog and deal with the new applications under the new occupation list so they meet the Canadian market needs. As you are US citizen, I am sure things will go smoothly and fast as the background check...etc...keep updating till you post the good news soon.......really soon (hopefully)
