Thanks Legalfalcon. Another of my FSWO friend from Ghana has his application being processed at CPC Ottawa (instead of his local visa office in Accra). He is currently on his 16th Day in IP2 (AOR Mar 2017). I've already advised him to order GCMS notes to get more information. Given the stats on the tracker (most Ottawa PPRs issued in < 15 days after IP2), do you think that it's highly probable that he is undergoing additional security screening? Over this week, I've seen Ottawa issuing PPR even to Apr & May applicant in less than 10 days in IP2.
Not all files go to the local visa office. Due to work load distribution, especially if your LVO has a lot of processing, then your file will be sent to Ottawa, but it does not make any difference.
