I second it. FSW3 is moving. I applied on May 2010 and waited for 2 yrs to get in IP with start date as April 2012. Then after another harrowing wait, I got MR and updated form on Dec 2012 with attention to a designated case analyst. Submitted them in Jan 2013. In Jan 2013, they immediately asked for updated US state PCC (They didnt request FBI again) again to the same designated case analyst and then on Feb 12, 2013, I saw Med Received on E-case.
I called CIC and the agent personally call me back from Montreal CIC call center, they said background/criminality check started on Feb. Then few week back, Ottawa replied my email at lightening speed on Mar 21 that my file has been with an officer for final review and next steps will be communicated to me. So I assume my b/g has been completed and officer is taking final glance.
On each month since Sep 2012 uptil Mar 2013, I saw PPR for 2010 FSW applicants.
I am yet to see any for April, keeping fingers crossed.
