Hi Temasek:
I'm not sure I understood your reasoning. bd1122's application was received on the 9th of Sept, his Ecas used to say "In Process," but now it says "Application received by VO"... Mine on the other hand was received on Sept. 14, Ecas says "In Process" and there has been no change... and I don't expect any, Buffalo has a huge backlog with all applications from the US and inside Canada going there.

Hi Cam
Based on ECAS, post 25 June 2010 applicants generally pass through the following stages:
Application Received -> CIO-S Eligibility Review Complete -> Received by Visa Office -> Visa Office Eligibility Review Completed -> In Process -> Decision Made -> Complete.
From the above, it is likely that an applicant is at “CIO-S Eligibility Review Complete”, when PER is issued. Likewise in the example you have given, your application is probably in an advanced stage as Buffalo VO has already started on your file, but not Singapore VO on bd1122.
Similarly the instances of applicants who are seeing a change in their status, is likely due to a correction as their status was wrongly reflected previously (as was all of us on the Medicals issue). Generally I suppose all July and August 2010 applicants should see their status as "In Process".
Cheers.
