Do you remember what options did you choose to talk to an agent after calling the main number?
All combinations I had and found on the forum didn't work for me today, all were ending up that i'm trying to choose the option that doesn't exist :((
Aren't you trying to press the numbers too fast? Some instructions can be skipped by pressing a number, but others you have to listen to until the end.

This application move is based on country of residence? Or is it 'random'?
it's very random.
Only two Nigerians that I have found currently have their applications there and they were moved from Ottawa after approvals.
I hope yours isn't moved.

Thanks. And congrats on your application, though it sucks having to wait even more knowing everything is done.

I tried to do it slow as well.. :) didn't work..

Anyway, I used now 1-2-0 and in worked.
Agent was very nice, I had ghost updates on December 14th and December 17th, so I was wondering..
Agent said that at this point I have nothing to worry and I'm close..
Eligibility passed, criminality passed, didn't mention anything about BGC.
Probably that's why I had 2 ghost updates.

VO - Ottawa.

I just got off the phone with them.
It was bad news, tbh.
My application has been approved but my file was moved to Sydney NS.
Still wonderful news though!
You will receive PPR very soon. For now, enjoy Christmas and new year.

Called and finally got through to an agent this morning who was pretty nice and helpful. Also tried to feed me the progress bar line though.
CEC - Inland
AOR July 30th
Visa Office: Ottawa
Criminality is in progress
Security has not started yet
Eligibility is under review
I'm not sure if that eligibility under review is something to worry about. He said everything looked to be in order and that average processing time is 6 months. I told him my working visa ends at the 6 month mark so if it takes longer than that I would need to get a bridging visa but he didn't really give me any insight there. He said applications are still a 6 month process so to just keep looking out for updates over the next month.
Doubt I'll be getting PPR by the end of the year though.

What's your eligibility review for? Did you order GCMS notes?

He didn't know or didn't say. He said it as if it was a positive thing like as if it was finished and I asked to clarify if there was more to be done on eligibility to which he just said he wasn't sure. Haven't ordered GCMS notes but might have to now.
