Seems there is a mass IP2 movement for 30 April AOR. @Toronto2018 and @DJSHO have seen such movement. I feel just left out......26 April AOR since in IP1 (though it doesn't necessarily matter, but it helps calm the anxiety).Just updated my signature
@Toronto2018 and @DJSHO do you guys know your VO?
Ottawa is more reliable......I think am Montreal according to the call center agent. Although that differs from what another agent said that my file is still at CIO Sydney. Tough life to live!!!
Same here! AOR 24th April and no updates since. Stuck in IP1. Hoping our time comes soon!!!
This doesn't make any sense! The randomness is crazy. How does CIC actually process applications? Like they wake up in the morning and say "Oh lets just take April 30 files" while 6th April, 15th April, and 24th April have not moved. Whereas they just finished processing April 4th, 11th and even 29th. What is the sense behind this?Same here! AOR 24th April and no updates since. Stuck in IP1. Hoping our time comes soon!!!
They can even put the blame on CSIS or Interpol not returning security checks in time but I really doubt it. Does it mean that CSIS and Interpol database need quite some time to process an early existing record.....No way! For example, it took FBI less than 10 mins to provide a security check result. Does it mean they are now busier than FBI? Maybe busy in the Canadian sense!
Even this assertion of lots of travel history is bullshit. Why then does Air Canada exist or intercontinental businesses? I have been trying to understand what is going on!
It pains so much that an applicant who got an ITA say on the 1st of April will take leave from work to gather documents and submit his/her application on 15th April. After submission will have to wait for at least 100 days+ to hear from CIC. Whereas, another applicant who got ITA maybe same day (1st April) or even later (1 May) reluctantly applies in June will get PR before the April AOR. When this is brought up, the crazy diplomatic "It takes 6 months to process a file and so you don't have to worry" or "Every applicants file/case is different" springs up. What then is the benefit of applying early? So what it means is that the 15th April AOR file is bad or not easy to process and needs 100 days to make their file good enough for PR while the June AOR applicant has an immaculate file.
The worst of the situation is that CIC complains of too much PR applications. However, they are busy issuing 3750 ITA's every forth night. Are they just collecting the money? Don't get me wrong, I am not against issuing ITA's. All I dread is the imbalance between ITA and processing already submitted applications. Even at that, it might still take CIC 4 months to refuse an application.....what the hell!!.
Of course, there are no perfect system. But on daily basis, CIC is just epitomizing a system that is far from being a representative of a developed nation like Canada. It truly sucks when I think of this. Well, to them, we need them and all we can do is just to wait for them whenever they are ready.

I called +1 (613) 944-4000 and followed the instructions (pressed 1 repeatedly) but after I get transferred to CIC I get a message saying that the toll-free number is not available in my area. As I understand it, you're not meant to be able to call IRCC unless you're in Canada, but calling +1 (613) 944-4000 is a loophole. Apparently, it doesn't work if you're calling from the US. I'd be more than happy to be wrong and if there were a way to call.
The worst part is we are all paying the same amount of money for our applications to be handled in a fair manner, it's not like those who get PPR in less than two months applied for a premium service or something.
It's like if two people were paying $50 each for a basketball game ticket and one of them has to watch the game from the upper deck while the other is comfortably sitting in front row.
