No, it depends on the visa-office and if the person is visa-exempt. I know Ottawa rarely sends a PPR for visa-exempt applicants (at least the American ones).
Great thanks. We are actually applying from Germany (my partner is German, I'm Canadian), but got forwarded to the Ottawa office. I'm assuming he's visa exempt.. but got a bit worried reading about all these people who have had PPR because we have travel plans coming up. Oh well, fingers crossed!

Yes, he should be visa-exempt. I doubt he will get PPR from Ottawa.

No problem and thank you ;D. Your application was probably stuck in a backlog for a bit, plus criminality/security checks take less time for Americans because of the information sharing system between Can-US. The applications didn't start really speeding up until around February (although I noticed they were slowly starting to speed up little by little months before).

Have you ordered notes? This will tell you how much of your application they have processed so far. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

If I had to guess, yours should be done any day now.

I like your positivity! :D

I haven't actually ordered them yet, I thought you had to be in Canada to order them so didn't bother with the hassle! :p However this is a different link that you sent me.. will definitely look into that. Thanks again!

Oh that's good to know! Mine actually should have gone to Vienna, so also an unexpected transfer. Good to know I'm not alone :) Fingers crossed for us both!

Actually I have a question about the notes! Do you know.. If I apply, will it only give information about me and my application to be a sponsor? Or will it have information about my partner's application for PR too? I assume I can't apply for notes for him directly since he's not Canadian, a PR or currently IN Canada... ?
