so I have received response from local MP (member of parliament) whom I asked to contact CIC on my behalf.
The information they have provided me not very useful but gives me an idea what step I'm on exactly. Still general response tho
-----------------------------------------------------------
The paper application was received at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia office on August 15, 2016.
· The Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if your constituent and their family members (if applicable) meet the
eligibility requirements under the class for which they have applied.
- the eligibility requirements assessment was finalized on January 20, 2017.
· The medical examination results are on file and valid until November 16, 2018.
· The criminality verifications are in process.
· The security verifications have not been initiated.
· As per our current
processing times, it may take up to 18 months to finalize the application. However, processing times indicated on our website are approximate, and can vary with each individual case.
· Please note as per R50 (1), all foreign nationals must possess a valid passport or travel document. A passport or travel document must be valid when presented at a Canadian port of entry.
-----------------------------------------------------------
So as I'm aware of the criminality verifications takes up to 6 months and the security verification goes right after PPR.
Still not clear when I will get ppr.
