Got an email after making a webform enquiry, read like this:

Dear Sir / Madam,

Thank you for your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Consulate General of Canada in Hong Kong.

Your application is currently with the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, NS. Please contact CIO-Sydney directly by email to CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca .

Note that your original enquiry has not been retained by this office.

We hope that this information will be of assistance.

Sincerely,

So, is my case in Sydney a good news or bad news?
Hi, our case is at Sydney too!! not sure yet if its good or bad!! June 8 AOR and most likely in IP2 since July 13th (processing background check) but i guess still in IP1 technically because eligibility is not recommended pass!! WEIRD!!

Not true for all US applicants. Mine is still stuck at IP1. No updates since July 10th.
That makes IP2 even rarer now !!!

Small update for me: My Review of additional documents (PCC) has changed from "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided" to "Not applicable". I didn't include a PCC with my original application as I was still waiting for it to be delivered to me, and I was eager on getting my application started. I only needed 1 PCC as I've never lived outside my home country and Canada.

Timeline:
July 16: Medical exam passed. Application went to IP2.
July 16: Request for Police Certificate. Uploaded it the same day.
July 19: Status change to "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided"
August 14: Status change to "Not applicable"

I suppose this means that my security screening has been completed?

Guys - as requested by @cansha, people stuck at IP1 should find out their VO. Many of us who have June 1st or 2nd week AOR are stuck with Montreal. This information may help us.

your only r10 completeness is done... not security screening

You think so? I thought IP1 confirms passing R10 - it's true the PCC wasn't included yet at that point, but it'd seem odd for them to take almost a full month for a R10 check. The status change for additional documents was:

July 16: "We need more documents to continue processing your application"
July 16: "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded"
July 19: "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided"
August 14: "Not applicable"

That makes it seem like I passed the initial R10 on July 16 when I got IP1/IP2. And they verified the "completeness" of my PCC on July 19 when they opened the document and started processing it. Surely the change "Not applicable" after 1 month must mean more than just passing R10, especially considering there's CEC applicants who got to PPR in less time than this.
