Has anyone with an AOR date of Feb 20th received the PPR email? My last update was March 7th, when my application moved to IP2. I contacted CIC last week and got a vague response, starting off with: "I am pleased to inform you that everything appears to be in order with your application. Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed". This vague message has left me trying to decipher every sentence. What does it really mean??? Is it a good sign or a bad one or nothing really because the process hasn't really begun? I've no clue. I had also asked what stage it was in, but that was not answered. I keep checking my email, but nothing.
My timeline is below:
AOR 2/20/18
IP1 3/1/2018
IP2 3/7/2018
waiting for the golden email...

Just called up CIC this morning. They said my background check has been cleared. My ADR has been reviewed and accepted and my police clearance has been done . When I asked regarding my visa office they said the file is still at CPC Ottawa and they are not aware on when it would be transferred to visa office. I'm a CEC inland applicant. AOR March 18 th and according to my online profile the status is We are processing your background check. Guys is this normal?? Any idea how long it would take for my file to be transferred to the visa office.

Hi all, My AOR - 30th March, Med Passes- 10th April & still in the IP1 stage since 11th April. My passport has been renewed. I assumed my CPC is Ottawa as I reside in US. So I raise the CSE, web form with the option that my application has been sent to Canada. I didn't select the option that it has been submitted outside Canada. Just wanted to know if I did right.

@ everyone

I recently got a PPR. I live in the US. However, I'm having difficulty with shipping as I was asked to send my documents to PO Box 8781 STN T CSC Ottawa ON K1G 5B3 :

UPS dosen't send to PO Boxes So USPS is the only option to send the docs. However they don't generate return labels as us stamps dont work in Canada.

I'm confused how to handle this situation. Any ideas?

All US applications are not processed at Ottowa nowdays. Some are sent to Sydney or Montreal as well. I guess it's a recent change.

Any idea if it changes the processing time?

No Idea. This is all too new. Maybe someone who received PPR from non-Ottowa offices can weigh in.

Thanks. The thing is not many people on the immitracker put their visa office this may be because majority of them don't know about it so it is hard to track the average times of each visa office. Anyways thanks a lot for the reply.

Please Advice!!!!

I am really confused. I called IRCC on the phone number (613) 944-4000 for several times from google hangouts and the first time i called the agent said that some other department handles these inquiries and she cannot give me their no. as i was not calling from Canada. I tried again and the agent said she will connect me to the correct department and the call got disconnected. Since then when ever I am trying to call I get the msg that I cannot call on this toll free number from my country (I am calling from USA) but I did get through the first two times.
The Second number which people called and have said that they were able to talk to an agent is (888) 242- 2100 , it says the call cannot get through and that I need to check the no. I have dialed. So I don't know what to do . Has anyone contacted the IRCC can you please let me know the correct way or what menu options to press to get to the right agent.
Thanks!
