Called cic and they said sydney and local office both cuncurrently do the bg checks. So transferring of file to local office is not a big deal and does hardly mean anything. I wish we could somehow track the actual process
they are onto july applicants now. Hopefully you will hear good news soon. Otherwise after a week or so generate an online specific query on their web. I am sure u will get good news soon
Below link contains good information as how and where our files are processed. Thought to share this info

i think you r right. Sydney does most of processing. Same thing told by cic rep today. I apologize for earlier posts bcoz i thought sydney just creates file however that is not the case.
