I sent an email to CPC-Ottawa 2 days ago requesting the status of my application and below is what I received in response, I have seen some applicants are able to confirm that their application is being processed at Sydney, NS or Ottawa office how do we actually find this out?
Dear xyz,

We do not require any information from you at the present time. An officer will contact you if further information is required. Please ensure when submitting documents that they are still valid and will not expire within six (6) months as this could delay your application.
Please consult our Website for information regarding our processing times:
