Ottawa Case Processing Centre applicants - Lets connect here.

You guys should relax, Ottawa has the highest PPR per VO ratio
Your eligibility is passed, right? Can I ask if it passed before your file moved to Ottawa or if it was processed at Ottawa?

Mine's been showing Ottawa since the beginning, according to the GCMS notes.
Apologies, I am never quite able to understand these things. Isn't CIO-Sydney supposed to first receive and handle the R10, MEP, Criminality stage of all applications? Which would mean that at some point, applications are then moved to a CPC or VO. For some lucky people, the application seems to stay in CIO-S throughout or at least have the Eligibility stage assessed there before it moves elsewhere (these are the fastest applications, I think).
And from this link here, it seems that CPC-Ottawa should be considered the default "local visa office" for ALL inland applications as no other CPC seems to process inlanders as per this description. Further, according to the link, CPC-O should not be processing ANY outland applications. Clearly, neither of my assumptions are true. As well, the link does not even mention the existence of other VOs like Montreal, Etobicoke, Vancouver, etc.

Sigh. I really don't get the basis on which they choose to move applications around.
IRCC called me this morning to ask if I was in Canada and a moment after my application was approved. Please see my signature for details. Thanks, everyone
Very good sign. CoPR should be imminent.
Did you get a ghost update when they completed your biometrics?
No ghost updates or emails. Just had a feeling and logged in to my account then saw the change.
