I succumbed and called IRCC again today. The agent told me that my application was approved on Dec 24th. :):rolleyes:
This time I remembered and asked about my visa office and it is Nova Scotia, Sydney. The agent said the reason why I have not received the email yet is because there is a lot of backlog and if I do not get an email by March 13th (6th month mark); call them again.

This is definitely some relief and we will assume March 13th for PPR and plan things ahead accordingly.

@Bandit Queen : I join your team! :D
Congrats! I cleared criminality Nov 28 (moved ip2 at same date), and no news till now

Did you get a ghost update on approval date? Just wanna know if ghost update is a must

Looks like CIC is taking approximately a month after IP2. Any thoughts ?
I think ip2 means you cleared criminality...cos...according to my GCMS note, i passed criminality on Nov 28 and at same day i moved to IP2...and yes still waiting for ppr...seems security hasnt started yet...yet..

Please do! I found out through GCMS notes on January 22, 2019 that my application was approved on Dec 10, 2018 at CIO. Don't know how long it will take for the email to be sent out.

Here's my profile
AOR- September 8, 2018
Application approved - Dec 20, 2018.
Now just waiting. No idea how long it will take based on posts read.
Was your applications processed at CIO - Sydney Nova Scotia?

@urstrulyaddy you're right about that. I committed my whole day yesterday to the process. I was at work so I just kept calling, entering my information as prompted and eventually I was put in queue. I started at 10 am and was put in queue a little after 3 pm and finally spoke to an agent 4:15ish CST.

Try tomorrow: +1(613)944-4000. Don't forget to ask which visa office for us! :)
@zviks No luck buddy :(. It is frustrating to hear the same thing - "We are experiencing high call volume and cannot connect you to the agent".

Finally this update on CIC portal today:
We're done processing your application.

Our COPR couterfoils got generated today. Hopefully we will get our passports back in time.

FYI again, I am US resident and received PPR from New Delhi visa office(No idea why they sent it), and ended up sending our passports to Los Angeles Visa Office on 9th Jan. Still need to receive back passports.
