Agreed!! Although to reinforce vensak's point, I just saw that in the December thread a user is reporting contact from his LVO requesting for eye colors, height and passport bio page without his status changing to IP.
I know... the pattern is: there is no set pattern!
The fact is, the officer may forget to change your status.. Since they work in pairs maybe he was expecting the other guys to do it
But she is right, sometimes it takes a long time to go to IP and then it goes and PPR comes a few days later... There have been cases of PPR without it ever changing to IP (although these are quite rare). And sometimes it goes to IP quickly and stays there for 3 months.
Although I feel like something has changed over at IRCC... The usual process was that you'd have to wait around 2-4 months after it changed to IP... However, we've seen TOO many examples that this is no longer the case to be classified as 'exceptions' or 'lucky few' so I think they must have made some fundamental changes to the way the process is done I think, may be automated a lot of the security checks maybe changes to be able to support the big increase in ITA's.. In any case, if that's the case then it's very good for us!
