Subject: Still waiting for PPR
 
Applied : Nov04 CIC Buffalo
AOR: Mar05
Medicals and Doc´s completed: Jan06
Does anyone know when PPR could be expected?

My work permit is running out ... and we are delaying our decision for a property purchase (due to the uncertainty). I see through this site that medicals done in Feb & Mar06 have also received PPR. Do I need to be worried and pls advise next likely steps that I could take??

Thanks

i did my medicals in feb 06 and waiting for PPR as well. the lucky ones that got their files transferred to NY seemed to have all got their PPR already. it sucks to have your file in buffalo. i´m expecting no sooner than early july.

I did my meds end of March and found out from the Ottawa medical centre today that they´re in Detroit now, so I´m hoping to get my PPR in a month or so.

I called the Ottawa medical centre at 613-941-2170. You will get an answering machine but leave a detailed message with your full name, file number, date of birth, citizenship, date you did your medicals, your doctor´s name, and your phone number. A lady called me back the next day itself.

FOr all you guys who did your medicals in Jan 06, Feb 06 or Mar 06. Please wait. I did my Medicals in Dec 06 (almost last week), my office is Buffalo. I got my PPR about 2 weeks back. What I learnt from this whole process is, its not Buffalo´s fault or NY´s or Detroit offices fault if you have already done your medicals and your stuck. If you have not heard from your respective CIC centre after your doctor has mailed medicals to Ottawa, then it is definitely Ottawa´s fault. Thats what happened in my case. My medicals was sent by my doc to Ottawa in December end sometime and Ottawa never processed it until April 2nd week of 2006. As soon as Ottawa did it within a month I got my PPR. So you have to just wait and wait and wait until Ottawa office processes your results and downloads it onto your respective city office like Buffalo, NY, Detroit etc, (Ottawa is a worst office, sometimes med´s are lost, some people wait for more than one year just because Ottawa takes this much time and people misinterpret this delay by Ottawa on their local regional offices, or people think they are stuck in background checks). I can give you a phone number and for anyone of you who´s medicals have already been sent by your doctor and has not received PPR for a long long time please contact this number directly and if the person doesnt answer please leave a message with your Ph# and email and she will either email you or call you. She is a very nice person. So by calling up that number you can know whether your medicals were received by Ottawa or not. Dont simply call this number if your medicals have been sent by your doc just a week or just a month ago. Give it atleast 2 or 3 months and then call after your med´s have been sent by your doc, therby you have a reason to call as atleast 3 months have passed by. The number is 613-941-2170. Good luck to you all.


See my detailed timeline below.

Got my PPR
(in reply to: Still waiting for PPR)
Congrats on getting your PPR. I waited till it was about 2 months from when I did my meds at the end of March this year, and called the number last week. The lady called me the next day to get some more details about my file, and I called her back today to confirm whether she found them or not. She immediately told me that she´d found and sent the results to Detroit, and that I could immediately contact Detroit to confirm the receipt of my medical. I´m assuming I´ll get my PPR within a month or two.

I have the same timeline as Got my PPR and I had to call Ottawa too. The lady was indeed nice and helpful. My medicals were just sitting there after 4 months. She sent the medicals electronically to Buffalo April 20 and e-cas changed to "medical received" April 25.

I´m now waiting for my PPR. Good luck.
