Thank you Icecream and Windupbird for your replies. Things are a little clearer now.
Finally, last question. Reading all the threads and the Ottawa Plot regarding waiting times for PNP. Am I right in interpreting their waiting time update that if a PNP was accepted in Ottawa on 29 Mar 12 there is a realistic assumption that it may get looked at prior to August? I know things cannot be guaranteed - but am I reading it right?

So I followed up with them last week after few emails i finally got the RPRF request with half of the information missing in the email....I hope you don't have to go through all this. All and all each application is different...let life unfold it for you
One thing is for sure no one else can teach you what patience is better than CIC

Sure - thanks Icecream - must admit I am pretty chilled about the whole thing, just trying to shoot any problems down before they occur and try and look through all the fog and confusion after reading through the mass of information and abbreviations etc.
Really hope you get the word soon!

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
So last night I received a letter via email:
"The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete." along with a request to pay the RPRF.
Then it gets a bit confusing:
"you do not need to submit original passports to finalize your application."
OK, great, but then no mention of whether I should send copies of my passport... Not sure whether to just send them anyway (It's very little effort for me to email them along with my receipt for RPRF payment).

I got this in my passport request, but then, I was asked to send to Detroit. I believe Ottawa now takes them too, so the whole procedure may have changed:
3. Passport(s)
If you are a citizen of a country that is required to obtain a visa to visit Canada, you are required to submit your original passport and the original passport of any accompanying family member. If you are a citizen from a country that is exempted to obtain a visa to visit Canada under Regulation 190 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, you are only required to send a copy of your passport and of the passport of any accompanying family member.
To find out if you are visa-exempt or not under Regulation 190, consult this CIC webpage.
We require a VALID passport for you and for every accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well. Please note that Immigrant visas cannot be placed in Diplomatic, Official or Military passports.

HI
Well the posted processing time is 13 months in Ottawa, It will be looked at, but it won't be finalized by August.

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
Hi everyone sorry to bug you all again. It seems that after I awoke from hibernation and started asking questions - I got a reply from Ottawa asking for me to pay RPRF and also to update my particulars from last year - of which there is no update. Does anyone know the format I have to put - 'nothing new to report' - on or do I just write them a letter saying that. Cheers everyone!!

There's no need to second guess CIC. As Jim says "just send what they ask for", no more, no less.
Good luck
