AOR june 8th and in IP1 for over a month now.

I called today!! I tried my luck directly from my cell phone without blocking anything and was very surprised that I got into the queue. After holding for about 20 minutes I got through to a very pleasant agent. He laughed and told me it was "sooooooo early" in the application process to check but he would still do it.
The only new info I got was that eligibility has been met and they have to now verify things like PCCs etc. He said they had all the info they needed and everything was progressing as it should. It's being processed at the Ottawa office. I asked if it stays there and he said it may or may not. It depends on what infomation they need as they do their checks.

I'm probably going to call back mid September to see if anything has changed and decide from there if to order GCMS notes.
Best of luck to you. You will most likely get your PPR in August. As long as eligibility is passed you have crossed the biggest hurdle. I trust you will not have any criminal history in your background , so there's nothing a to be worried about now. Your PCC should go through just fine :)

Hey folks, I got my passport request email on August 1 in the evening. :)

Here's my profile:
AoR: June 24
MEP: June 10
IP1: June 11
IP2: July 24
PPR: August 1

Since I am traveling right now I wasn't really checking my status regularly and so I don't know when the Ghost update happened. I was pleasantly surprised to see the COPR email all of a sudden. When I logged in after that I did see that I have an update and in the main status page I saw something new:

Although I don't think this applies to me, the "Ghost update" now actually has a material update to go with it.

Edit: I stand corrected about assuming that the biometrics showed up with my ghost update. It looks like that was rolled out for everyone starting July 31.

Everyone got this on July 31st when they rolled out the biometrics update. You wouldn't have gotten an "application updated" notice on your application for it, but you likely did get an update when you were marked for PPR.

Guys,
Will our NOC influence the Visa Processing timeline or PPR ?
My NOC is 2232 - Mechanical engineering technologists and technicians.

No criminal history or anything like that but we do have an extensive travel history that includes some flagged locations because of work. I've heard that can cause delays. My hope is a ppr no later than December but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. The earlier the better so that we'll have enough time to sell our house.
