Hi guys. I received a response to my request for my VO on monday. It reads

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is still in process at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia

All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.

While the processing times may vary with each case, we will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible. "

Meanwhile, i received a ghost update on tuesday and my background check changed to "we are ptocessong your background check"

Does this mean that my VO is CIO, Sydney NS?. AOR os Dec 4......PNP_Ontario.
 
No, RR does not mean that your processing time with exceed 6 months.

I am posted the RR post I wrote some time ago.
Thank you, this is such a great post, and really makes sense. I did order the notes to see what it's about. What you wrote about PoF (bank outside Ca, term deposit etc) is the case with us, hope that's it. Thanks!

Hello guys,
I had my AOR on 30th Nov, MEP and BIL ON 19th Dec.
I called IRCC last week and they informed me that I have passed the medical and criminality. Eligibility is in progress and Serurity has not yet started.
I called them again this week to check if I have cleared the eligibility and they said that they cannot provide me any information as my application is being processed at the New Delhi visa office.
So now they have transferred my file from CIO to New Delhi. Is it the normal course of action or there is something to be worried about?
Also, if the criminality is passed, does that mean that they have checked my file for completeness?
And lastly, how much time on an average does New Delhi visa office take to process the applications?
Thanks!
I’m also stuck with NDVO, would appreciate any information
