We can't know for sure. But I'll suggest you order CBSA notes as well. That's the only way to confirm or deny.
I was hoping to see it from the GCMS notes first but yes you are right, better not to lose time. I want to thank you for your help and for the time you spend in responding all our questions. I wish you all the best for you future life in Canada :)

I can understand there are many things to do even after PPR. While Pre-PPR tests your patience, Post PPR tests your agility.

You will definitely do good, still let me know if your need any help.
Thanks for support Prakash bhai. The only help I need from you at the moment is that you get the PPR soon and we all meet in the party :) .. You are in BLR or DEL ?

Oh! Shuttling between locations is intense. Couple of my friends do the same (between Del - Mum). I am in Del. Let me know in case you may need a supporting hand (as only 50% of you is here in Del).

Got my notes last night. Here's my analysis and opinion.

My application was assigned to different agents, analysts, officers and I can see their ' reference numbers'. I only saw the Ottawa office reference number at the initial period when my application was transferred there from CIO. (will take time to look through that again). (Ottawa was my primary office until 4th December when my application was transferred from CPC Ottawa to CIO).

My IP2 date was actually October 31st (when criminality was passed) not November 2nd and file was approved on the 11th of December not 13th of December. I was consistently 2 days late in seeing ghost updates.

I believe it's actually true that the final review by the officer is what is holding a lot of people up because I believe that security may have been done for most people but till an officer passes the eligibility there will be no final approval.
Because from my notes, it was the same day that the officer reviewed my application that it was approved and that was the same day I got the ghost update (although I didn't see it till 2 days later). So I believe security was already done and dusted by then and it was just awaiting a final review by the officer.
We're never told security is passed. we're always told security isn't started even though it may be done, it's only those who may be in security screening that are sometimes told their security is in progress (that also depends on the call agent, who may say in progress instead of the usual 'not started').

Basically, the generic CSE response that says "awaiting final review" is beginning to sound like the truth. I strongly believe that what differentiates those who get PPR in 2 months and those who have to wait 7-8 months to get theirs is just the luck of having an officer review the application as soon as eligibility is met and criminality passed.
The agent who considered my eligibility Met (CIO) is different from the agent who passed my criminality (Ottawa).

Last thing is, I paid my RPRF upfront after I found out my eligibility was Met and I got tired of waiting for the RPRF request. It shows in my GCMS note that the payment was received and allocated a week after I paid (October 18th). This shows that those extra supporting documents we send via CSE are usually received.

Here's a screen shot of my 4th paragraph.

Edit: Edited to include that the officer who approved my application was at CIO not CPC Ottawa.The application was transferred first to Ottawa on the 9th of August from CIO (after eligibility was met) and was transferred back to CIO from Ottawa on the 4th of December (1 week before approval).
It still don't know if security was initiated at Ottawa or CIO.
Thanks @tobs. Your analysis matches precisely with @gau55555 receiving PPR today, after learning his Security was not started 1 week back.

Let that Officer review the pending June files soon.

Surely will do... Thanks.

Do let me know when you firm up your travel plan to Canada. Lets be in touch over DM and lets share numbers as well to discuss all this instead of spamming the forum wall.

Good analysis Oracle mam... and it does support my (or the )theory that we are never told about the exact status of the security. What I also want to add here is, (for applications which may have in IP2 sicne OCt.) is that due to enhance security process, all the files, who actually might have been completed were in queue for and additional review post completion.
As this step was added late into the system and they have limited officers for review, our files must have been delayed. Cant be sure though.

@worldgreatest did you do something to my phone yesterday for talking to @JenineJac ? we were talking and my phone got turned off all of a sudden and didnt turn back on even after charging it for hours. Been using this 7 plus phone since past two years and was very much happy with that. so it has got to be something to do with you. Apple service centre took my phone for couple of days and said if there is any hardware issues then i will have to pay extra for a replacememnt phone as its not in warranty period. Complete Disappointment. I mean, Come on !!!!!!!

or was it @Tayyabak ? if it is then i appologize for that picture thing. that was the most beautiful picture i ever saw in my entire life.no kidding!!!!!

now that i wont have my phone for some days i am re-evaluating the purpose of my existance on this planet earth.ughhhhh..:rolleyes:
