hi zkhan,
actually you are not the only one, some Oct apps are still waiting for in process.
did you ask RCMP ottawa to send the results to Sydney or you asked them to send it to you and then send it to Sydney? if you send it to Sydney by yourself, then it will be faster, coz Ottawa will use the regular mail to send to Sydney, it takes 2-3 weeks to update your online status after they receive your RCMP.
To be honest, it will be slower if they ask your RCMP, because of the time delay, after they receive it, it will be turn to ip soon.
Another thing is that, they give you PPR based on the FILE NUMBER: EPXXXXX,not the date of IP.
