Hey...thanks for sharing your timeline....mine is in my signature below...
no updates since my file was transferred in Manila....
emailed MVO, they confirmed that my app is indeed transferred to them but no other info given...just the usual "Rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure an efficient and expeditious processing of all visa applications..........."

I am approaching the 6 month processing time now.
Initially, I thought after 6 months they will tell me exactly what stage the application is in and a probably due date.
But, if all they say is we are processing, which is the same they have been telling me since last 5 months, I don't know how to keep hope!
May I ask, where are you based?

I am way past the 6 months normal processing time, i emailed and even called but wasn't given any exact info not even a due date.....so we just keep waiting? till when...no one knows!

I hope MVO will start to give PPRs to applicants, especially those past the 6mos standard processing time. It has been such an agonizing wait and all our plans have always been put on hold due to this!

Well, they have to process/check applications to start issuing PPR's right? And, when they do some work on an application, we get to know through the account/update messages.
But, we are not getting any messages/updates.
So clearly, they aren't doing anything with our applications!

Yeah, Japan.

This is why I am not going to get the notes.
I can read what is happening, but I would not be able to change anything.
It will take the time; no matter what!

you are based in Japan too?

well at least the notes would show if there's any movement in your file and if it is on the positive side or not....that way, we can either stop worrying and continue waiting or move on and live a normal life

Did you (make your agent) contact CIC passed the 6 months?
What was their response?

Try this thread too mga kabayan, useful info from earlier discussions
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/for-pinoy-about-express-entry-application-share-your-idea.264269/page-330

Anyway, it's generally a good sign that the processing has been transferred to the local VO (i.e. Manila VO). Processing should be at the final stages. Based on the trend though, PNPs are taking longer than others. Kapit lang!

We both separately did last month. I’m actually still waiting for their response and would also follow it up with my agent.

CIC AOR Feb 14...8 months pending..after calling the help centre i confirmed that our papers are in MVO. My friends got an IP2 paid Processing Fees (RpRf) but no PPR yet over 1 month. Their CIC AoR is Feb 2017 as well.

Since when your file was transferred to mvo? Your rprf & ppr should come very soon as you're feb AOR applicant.
