What happened to Ottawa? They use to be the fastest VO I think. I'm February AoR and it appears there's no movement whatsoever.
It's all like this lately because they increased a lot the number of invitations they send out from mid last year. I'm November AOR and still waiting.

I wish they handle PPR like they did biometrics request on a sort of batch processing. Some March AoR are already getting PPR in same Ottawa.

yeah, I agree. I totally understand why one case might be different and take longer than another one, but approving Feb or Mar cases without even picking up older cases is unfair. but so it is, so there's not much we can do.

Honestly? Managing is a stretch :p my first application was in September and it was canceled because of one of the PCC. My stomach is always feeling weird and I already quit my job and started freelancing remotely. Anxiety really takes a toll. Meditation is helping though :)

After the six months are passed you start considering if waiting a month for notes is worth it because PPR might come literally at any time. My current strategy is calling them once a week. Also, they're nicer when your process is overdue

February? You're hurting me! :D
October AoR is here, Ottawa VO, the file was touched in the beginning of April :)
January aor here. I think they wait until 2-3 weeks to 6-month period. They have not touched my file yet. The nost important part is eligibility has not started yet. ‍♀

I copy-pasted their generic response in CSE and asked if they had anything new to reply other than that

Well you won't believe it, they actually gave me a different response

Your medical is still valid :D:D:D:D:D:D
