Congrats to all with good news today. Just curious if the local visa office is usually based on residence or nationality?
Not actually.
Files will be moved to LVO when there is a complexity in the case where more scrutiny is needed or when CPC is having more work load.

Myself, an Indian by nationality and residency is processed in Ottawa.
 
Have been sitting at IP1 since Feb 6th and finally received a message from CIC! Not a good one though..:( They asked me to renew my passport and submit a new one as the current one expiring soon. I have doubts about it but I will still renew my passport because it is what they need!

I have a question - is my application being processed while I am getting a new passport? In other words, will CIC/IRCC continue reviewing my background or eligibility and keep sending me messages if my application is moved to next stages (IP2)? Or is my application on pause until I provide the new passport?

Thanks!
Jin

Any thoughts on this guys? Thank you!
 
What is phone number to call CIC regarding application progress? Anyone already contacted them, can you please give Number?

Looks like I am on IP1.

Based on your experiences, could you please give me an approximate date on when I could expect the PPR. I know there is no set pattern but just a guesstimate.

Thank You for your time and all the best to everyone!
