I emailed Ottawa (since they are processing my file) as it's been six months since AOR. I received this reply within 24 hours (assuming this is their standard response!?) I've been in NA2 since September:

"
Please be advised that your application is at our office and is being processed as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization.


We do not require any information from you at the present time. An officer will contact you if further information is required. Please ensure when submitting documents that they are still valid and will not expire within six (6) months as this could delay your application.


Please consult our Website for information regarding our processing times:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp.


For your information, the processing times, provided on the website, is the average time it took visa offices to approve or refuse 80 percent of applications during a specified period in the past. They may not accurately predict future processing times"

I emailed Ottawa about my status and received the template answer:
"Please be advised that your application is at our office and is being processed as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization."

I got the same answer in about 6 hours from my request. Looks like no one is opening the files and simply replying with a standard template. Like we know that it will not be processed under standard processing time as it's well over 6 months. Let's wait for GCMS to get a better idea.

another applicant on this thread got medical redo request after completing 15 months since AOR. i think they asked to redo medicals once they are ready to take the decision.
there was some great progress in last couple of weeks as several applicants who were waiting for more than 10 months got PPRs. all these cases are giving me hope as i am under a lot of stress for so many reasons because of this never ending wait.

What is your visa office. Google the email address of your local VO. You wil find details on coc website. Also call them in the morning, when they open (8:00am) you will get through an agent.
i am currently resident of Dubai, united arab emirates.
the canadian visa office is in Abu Dhabi.
should i contact them.

Re-Medical request: 22 Jan 2018

Congratulations Shri! This is great news!

Did you take any actions that you think might have helped? Or maybe just being patient did it?

Hi everyone,

My medical passed after 267 days. I was also requested to submit a police clearance from where I am living now most probably because it passed 6 months.

Does anyone know how long further it takes to get the PPR?

More details in my signature.
