Okay, thanks. Can you tell me if they contact the supervisor who signed my experience letter?
Also, the other question. Will it effect my application if I quit the job now and take a break?

They can contact whosoever in your office in general if they wish to. They most likely (in cases i know) call on the office landline. If you quit job and take a break it won't affect your application, but you will have to inform CIC accordingly about this change.

I ordered the notes almost 2 months from the application submission date through this link(since I am based in Canada atm): https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do

During these 2 months I did call iRCC a few times to know the status of my application and stages that are currently being reviewed and processed

Just spoke to the agent on the phone. My case is being processed in Ottawa. And he mentioned background check is yet to start. I am on 83 days since AOR. What’s the average processing time for Ottawa visa office? I heard they are the fastest...

Seems so. On myimmitracker the estimate calculator says on an average we should receive PPR on August 4,2018. Let’s hope for the best

yeah, but file doesn't start its journey at NDVO - these days it "generally" begins at CIO, then CPC Ottawa or whichever one they assign, and then it moves to your LVO. The CIO-CPC bit will generally happen in the first 45-75 days, and then it goes to NDVO (if you are from the Indian subcontinent); again this is load specific.

Once it reaches NDVO, all it generally needs is a quick review and approval (if it's a regular case). Problem is Indian punctuality and efficiency isn't a real thing.

In that sense I am mighty pleased that my file was processed at CIO, Sydney. I wished for my file to not get to NDVO right from the start and God listened

You can call on ‭+1 (613) 944-4000‬. Call via google Hangouts. U might need to wait a bit but you can get through to the agent and they are usually super helpful.

Every PR application is different. There are different categories of applications- FSW-I, FSW-O,PNP, CEC are the common ones. This is the one of the factors which leads to different processing times of applications.
My personal experience also says that in the same category, between a single applicant and an applicant with dependents, the application for the applicant with dependents is processed faster.
Also, as each PR application is unique, the various checks (for e.g., travel history) differ from application to application and thus the variation in the number of processing days.
Therefore, you find your colleague's application processed quicker.

From outside Canada, you can call IRCC at the number +1 613 944 4000 and options to be selected are 1111122.
After this, you will be asked to type in your application number and then your year of birth.

Yes, on calling +1 613 944 4000, the first thing we listen is welcome to Global Affairs Canada.
You have to select the options mentioned above and it is a good chance that your call gets disconnected for the reason of high calls volume.
You might have to try 5-6 times. After this, once you get in the queue, it usually takes 40-45 minutes wait time to actually speak to an agent.

I came to know about my VO this way, through the call.

I had also raised CSE for the same, the reply to which came many days later.

As it has already been 92 days, you might want to order GCMS notes through GCMSbuddy or getgcms.

Also, the status of your background check will tell you at which stage you are, IP1 or IP2.

Please read as many posts in forums, as you can, it really helps in understanding the PR process, its various scenarios and above all, we learn to be patient.

All The Best!!
