Hi thucydides,

Your timeline is almost similar to mine but mine is at Abu Dhabi VO.
Well timing is one biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggg question everybody is asking in all these
forums for which I think even God doesn't have answer other than CIC
personnel :) :)

You can use the below link and see but unfortunately for Delhi VO there is no
time line as well.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/investor-que.asp

So my suggestion have faith in God and be patience and we will all make
it one day. God Willing !!!

All the best and do keep sharing your details.

Cheers

This is fact but it hurts!!!

Anyways any update on your file yet ??

All the best!!
;D Sorry, but it's just that I thought they would be better than ... at least ... someone else.

Regarding my file, I'm waiting at the moment after giving remedicals and further medical tests in June 2014. I've heard from one Quebec investor who got PPR from Islamabad after 5 months of giving medicals. So, just waiting now.

btw, also ordered my GCMS notes via 3rd party firm, still waiting for them and it's been more than 60 days now. Got an email 6 days back that it was due on July 10, but don't know what was the delay about (that's what they wrote... that they don't know what the delay is about)

Bro, Abu Dhabi VO processing time have been stretched to 48 months now Sad
(5 months increase).

London VO also saw increase of 3 months.

I thought they cleared out the backlog by cancelling other programs to increase processing times.

Data Analysis

- From 2009 to 2013, only 50 cases of Quebec Investor were processed by Islamabad VO, where only 1 was refused (that too, in 2013 only)
- Many Investor case files were shifted from Islamabad VO to London VO for operational reasons.
