Welcome to the club.
AOR: Jan 16,2019 MEP : Feb 26,2019

Just to relieve some stress if yours email your VO directly they can share some what’s going on now or just wait till 6 months to complete. I contacted Winnipeg VO they emailed me back saying security checks in progress and visa officer will be assigned shortly to make a decision on your case.
How did you know your VO is Winnipeg?

Obviously, it is speculation but it seems CIO checks completeness R10 and subsequently transfers to LVOs. Inland CPCs can call any decisions at any point I think.
Thanks, the inconsistency is odd. I noticed from comments by folks in this forum that although for some cases the notes are added by the analyst, the status is still "Not Started".

I asked my CIC rep on phone call. Plus I have sent a web form because I have changed my job recently so IRCC agent told me to notify COC. So after 5 days I have received a confirmation from CWinnipeg

I got an answer just now; please read it with me:
a typical generic robotic reply I guess, they did not mention the visa office though


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

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

Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.

I got the same response to my status enquiry..they also mentioned that my application is within normal processing times. I have 55 days left as of today. Good luck to us both!

I received below reply on my query for status inquiry

We verified the information you provided regarding your application processing time and have forwarded it to the responsible office.
They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on your application.

Does it mean that the visa office will send an email with status? Or it means VO may contact us with status but not necessarily so

Guys, also please, have heard of anyone getting his application rejected after 130 days of AOR, this would be impossible or non-sense right !
Technically you can be rejected at any stage of the application, even after PPR, but it is very very unlikely, I don't think you should worry about it. Even if CIC want to verify something they will contact you for ADR, they will not reject application without a good reason.

ghost updates usually are a good sign. it means that something happened on your file that triggered a change in the system, even though you might not be able to see it
I've never received any ghost update since ITA, MEP and BIL. Does that mean there's no activity on my file?
