Hey there

Just wanted your opinion for the following:
1. how long do you think VO takes to review eligibility and transfer to local visa office?
Depends on your case, if all is good and fine then 1 day, if file is sent in further reviwe it might take a while. i am assuming you are asking about CIO Sydney here, as files are transferred from there to LVOs.
2. do applications get process in CIC or does it always have to go to Ottawa and then LVO?
Initially all applications are at CIO, after R10 is done some are sent to Ottawa for load sharing. The one's sent to Ottawa are finalised there only and are rarely ever sent to LVOs. The ones that remain at CIO are checked for eligibility there and then shipped off to LVOs for final checks, I have written many detailed posts regarding this, please check those.
3. I submitted Singapore PCC on July 21 visa CSE and same day I got ADR for the same, therefore also submitted via CIC profile. Based on my call with them on Thursday, Aug 3, Agent said so far so good, he knows I submitted my PCC, eligibility not started and background is ongoing. My document status on July 22 changed to Uploaded, and BG is NA2. Since then no news expect file is being processed in Nova Scotia
CIO is slow, takes 40-50 dasy in NA2 here and then eligibility is started and after that is done then only file is sent to LVO, like i said I have written a post on that please check it.
4. are there people who gets PPR from NA2 without seeing IP2?
Yes there are always such cases but rare.
