What's your category? If CEC, then your BG is most likely to go back to 'In Progress' before PPR

Im under CEC, outland in India. Is there a general time frame from when it goes back to in progress and then to PPR?.

So the BG typically follows this path Not started -> In progress -> Not applicable -> In progress/

For all the inlanders applications will be transferred to CIO, Sydney Nova Scotia first. Once the initial assessments are done, then it will be transferred to LVO for final decision.

I got same mail that my application is at Sydney...I live in Nigeria...I did fsw 2014 which I later cancelled because of I waited so long and have to move on with EE. Does it mean my application is treated like inland?
What exactly are they checking there?. Will it make the process faster or not?

This was the reply they sent me when I intimated them that a baby has been born. I am an fsw outland with my wife secondary applicant. We got this letter on Feb (baby born on Jan 19; emailed them on Jan 21/22). We couriered them the docs last week as it took us a month and a half to get his passport Meds and birth certificate. For you, as stipulated in the above mail, since your child is born in Canada the process is different. Read the email carefully.
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. You will find all the necessary information to answer your enquiry below:

If you are the principal applicant of a permanent residence application already in process, you could add your spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children to your application, even if they were listed as a non-accompanying dependant in the initial application.

To do so, we invite you to complete the following forms and mail them to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia. If the newly created family member is a child born in Canada, only the add-on request is required:

A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) with supporting documents,
(If applicable) A Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form,
(If applicable) An Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) form,
(If applicable) A signed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) form,
A copy of the family member’s valid passport,
Police certificates for all countries where the family member over the age of 18 has lived for more than 6 months since turning 18,

and
The add-on request including:
your name,
your client ID number/UCI,
your file number,
a letter of explanation,
a copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship, and
if applicable, the proof of payment.

Useful tips

Please ensure to write ADD-ON on the forms and on the envelope.
If you would like proof that your application was received, we suggest that you use registered mail with Canada Post or a courier service such as Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc.
It may be impossible to add a member of your family to the application if a final decision has already been made.

We hope you will find this information helpful.

Your add-on request will be evaluated by the responsible office. You will be contacted when a decision will be made or if further information is required.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
