@Sulay8961 : Relax bro. I had a similar case as yours. Was on IP1 since 4th July, NA arrived just yesterday and IP2 this morning. However in between:
-> RPRF requested and paid 18th July
-> email enquiry confirmed VO as Ottawa

So if you had paid RPRF upfront, chances are high that you will go same route - NA to IP2 same day!
Your file is being processed at Ottawa, I in Sydney. I can't hold light to your own process. So basically we can't compare.

Not sure. Are you looking at the average time taken with a subset of only those people who have received PPR? For example, I just checked the June tracker and only 10 people have received PPR and yes their average time is between 30-40 days. But out of 541 only 10 have recieved PPR (in June), and 5 cases have been rejected (feel sad for them). This means that there are 526 people out there who have a status of either medical pass or waiting for medical pass. This means that those 10 who have received the PPR are an exception and not a majority, that's exactly my point. Plus the PPR date estimator still says 100 as the average number of days.
On the Passport Request (PPR) Date Estimator page, use the 'Filters' option and select relevant criteria to analyze your case. The 'Filters' option is available on the top left side of the page. If you effectively use the filters, the average processing timelines would more or less be around your actual processing timeline.

Its true i have seen june AOR ppl getting ppr really quick!
Around 2 months back, the medical status was changing to Passed in 60+ days. Nowadays, it is changing withing 20 days or less. So, the overall processing times have drastically reduced.

I mentioned earlier today that I know a few folks stuck in LVO. Find below one of their timeline:

AOR:February 21ST FSW-O Applicant
Medical passed : April 8th
Background check :NA April 26th till date (155 days post ITA)

I don't know why files are being moved to a Visa office already burdened.

Just got this response on the visa office:

"Please note that your application is currently at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia and has not yet been transferred to a local visa office."

Don't know what to make if it..
Welcome to the Sydney club lol. Your process would be slower than the Ottawa folks but just chill, PPR would come

Honestly, I think CIC is being unfair with the way people's applications get processed. Why rush off newer applications when you have stalled older ones. This should not be. Is it that they ain't aware of the frustrating wait people are going through? Quite unfair.
I am April AOR and was feeling so upset until I saw February AOR also complaining. This is really not fair from CIC

Not fair but they said 6 months and everything under that is a blessing! It all depends which Visa office takes your case.

Two days ago,
"Review of additional documents" changed to "We do not need additional documents.". Please is anyone familiar with this? What comes next.

Matter of fact, the only change I want to see now is PPR

After medical pass the additional doc status was we are reviewing, then after some days it changed to we do not need any additional docs, then again after IP2, the status changed to we are reviewing your additional docs, so its normal i guess, whats your bgc status?
