I have a 9 month old baby and I have it as "completed". It was updated same day of biometrics.

I see.. That's really weird than. Still not "Completed" altogh got an email from IRCC saying "We verified the information on file and are pleased to confirm that the biometrics were received by the responsible office".
so not sure what to do now..

My application is FSW-inland, I'm currently in the middle east. Should I submit an IRCC webform or should I wait for PPR then ask for different mailing instructions because I'm no longer in Canada?
My AOR is Nov 15

I'd fill the webform if I were you. In Turkey for example instead of mailing the passports to the visa office, you hand them to VFS Global and they deliver it to the Visa Office themselves. Better safe than sorry.

I'm just thinking, what if it ended up taking longer because they have to re-assign my file from an office in Canada to one in the middle east.

I think the Visa Offices are mostly assigned randomly, a ton of people who are FSW outland have Ottawa as their Visa Office. I don't think they'll necessarily move your Visa Office because you've moved.
Also from CIC website:

When should I tell Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that I am moving?
Tell us no more than 3 weeks before you move to make sure all your letters from us go to your new home or mailing address.

AOR - November 4

Applied for a BOWP on November 5 and it got approved yesterday. At least I know i passed R10

Cheers

What is bowp?

 

[hitesh0414]

What is bowp?

Bridging Open Work Permit.

BOWP is needed only by those who are currently in Canada on Work Permit and their work permit is expiring soon.

 

[smash1984]

So, another week gone by with no updates. Sigh.

The week after next should mark 3 months of application submission. I am planning to order gcms notes once 3 months are up

Awesome!

That's bang on 80 days. I see that they have increased the processing time to 81 days in their website so at least they are sticking to their work permit time lines.

Yeah when I applied it was 69 days, so when that passed I sent them a CSE and while waiting for the answer they increased the processing time to 76 days. When that passed they increased it again to 81 days and I got the approval bang on 80 days. What is really funny that my current work permit expired EXACTLY on the day I got my BOWP approved.

Mine has already expired in November I'm on implied status since then. What sucks is that I have no health insurance while I wait for the BOWP even though they are still happily deducting taxes off my salary. I'm dead scared I'll slip on a block of ice and break a few bones and I won't have anything to cover the medical costs.

Also if they refuse my BOWP application, I'll be without status in Canada. And I'll have to stop working. So everyday, I'm nearing a nervous breakdown.

That was my concern as well, BOWP getting refused for whatever reason and leaving me without status. When did you apply for it? It is around 80 days processing time now it seems.
