Agree with you totally, Rohan09. My thoughts exactly, but that seems to be the case considering what you can assume is happening with NDVO. Meds done, RPRF & PP sent, however, the time between the AOR and med request seems too short to complete all verifications. Guess they hold on to the money and passport purely to avoid delays in closure by reducing the time it takes to request for RPRF and PP post verification and meds.

Here are my thoughts on this -
1. CIO ER Completed with CIC Canada.
2. Case transfer to the respective VO.
3. VO issues AOR.
4. VO issues Med, RPRF and PP request (Lets assume we got this after bout 10 days of getting AOR)
Now as the eleigibility review has already been done at CIC Nova Scotia, VO shall not start from scratch to ascertain whether the applicant is eligible or not (barring special cases).
Once you receive your AOR there are high percentage of chances that they conduct your background checks like employment details etc at that point in time -
AND - before you actually receive Med requests. I believe in a straight forward case, an officer would not spend more than 20-30 minutes on an application. You see very rare applicants receive verification calls at their offices. I have worked with Global as well as small companies, no one gotta call there.
Henceforth after you send your Passport, they are only conducting security checks.
Post encashing your right of permanent residence fee, I strongly believe that they are done with your security checks as well. The only thing is that they do not put your Passports straight away in the Visa Stamping Machine and may wait for some more time for reasons they keep to themselves.
