My Aug 24 Aorites @popscicle @Jumziebabyy @HR girl @CanadianNaija @Chrisjordan2015, how far now? 7months 3days Post AOR. Only @Chandlerbing has gotten PPR.

This wait is mad. Cant ever imagine I believed it will be processed max 4 months especially when I found out my VO was Ottawa. Frustration has set in and I dumped my MAP and all the preparations for the move at the beginning of the year. I used to read people's PPR stories taking screenshots to encourage myself, I cant even remember when last i did that. It's just exhausting.

[Okay thanks so much for your reply. But how can I mail Ralph? Where can i get the email?]

My dear. It's the standard response given. They have a standard template for both CSE's and VO's. Best bet is either call ÇIC or mail Ralph since you are 7 months Post AOR.
goodale@sasktel.net or ralph.goodale@parl.gc.ca. Goodluck

Good day everyone.
I'm here again o. Thanks to everyone on the platform who's been helping out. And congrats to the ppr clinchers. May Canada favour y'all. So I'm 7months and 16 days post AOR. Honestly, it's been one helluva wait, but what can we do. After one call and cse , this below is the last response for my cse raised on the 19th. Since then, no update.
Ps: this was raised after a ghost update on my profile on the 8th of March. Today is 25th.
Please any thoughts?

Dont be discouraged. There are tons of people on here that have just shared their ppr journeys and Accra was their vo. Im 6 months Post AOR ottawa yet no ppr. There’s really no pattern to it so cheer up, do you & make yourself happy.

Are you people noticing this thing I'm noticing? It's almost as if PPR comes faster to those for whom the process of getting ITA was hard. Finkaboutit Fink
Sis!!!! after reading some people's PPR stories especially after being 4months Post AOR, I always feel some type of way especially those with later AORs but then I check myself and remember that I had it easy peasy from Pre-ITA all the way to AOR and I honestly have no clue as to what their journey looks like.

Guys, you won't believe what God did for me today.

PRE-EXPRESS ENTRY

ADVICE
1. Please don't only read page 0, study it and meditate on it till you are very confident about the whole process.
2. No two applications are the same. Peace People.
Oh wow. Congratulations. This is awesome. Cant imagine all the emotions you've gone through.

I however wonder why it takes forever between approval and issuance of PPR. Dec 18-Feb 4. Darn!

So happy for you. Congrats. God is good....x
