This is pretty good news for Nov folks!! So we are finally moving. Tomorrow start of new month so more positive signs surely 
Anyone else’s application ended up in Calgary?
I only know of less than a handful so far.
Does anyone know if it’s true that they are sent there because there is an issue with the application? I read that today from another user and I am freaking out!

Whoever said that was talking nonsense. Some CEC applicants will end up in Calgary as well. The only way to know if everything is OK with your application is through GCMS notes.
If the information in your passport is not readable or if it is teared so badly that you can't send it for COPR, change you passport , raise a CSE, and upload a new passport wit a LOE why you did that. That is all
There seems to be a tiny bit of truth to it. It could be false too, only IRCC know the answer.
I think when an Assistant does R10 and finds anything that makes it difficult to pass to the next stage (review required), they just put review required. Most of those will get sent to the local visa office (Calgary is one of them). Those impeccable applications get finalized at CIO.
Review required can be because of too many issues: country of origin, additional documents needed, anything other than employment issues (which is apparently checked later).
Of course, they say they send cases because of workload redistribution as well. It seems plausible since they are struggling to process so many applications. It seems they have tons of assistants sitting at the CIO, who can get through easy applications quickly, but not many agents/officers who can go through review required cases.
So, there's really no need to freak out. Of course, if you know of issues in your application, you could order the notes and see what problems they found.

You could show it to people who handle passports (maybe a police officer? people who work in a passport issuing office?), if they say it's not good for travelling, then get a new one now, upload a scan to IRCC with a LOE.
Hey guys. My AOR is Nov 21, CEC inland. I finally managed to talk to an agent on Monday and she said that eligibility is Recommended to Pass. On my question what is my VO she said that my application is in Ottawa and hasn't been sent anywhere and that they are still working on my application. She also said that I "might" get PR before the end of 6 months. Are you aware what doest it mean that my application is still in Ottawa? Do they usually sent it to another VO before approving or not?
Thank you!
Thank you!
I did get my notes, and there was no indication of RR. R10 done on Nov 30, and only mentioned education- verified - OK, PCC - nrt, RCMP- nrt, info share - nrt.
No action since , only transfer to Vancouver then Calgary then Vancouver then Calgary again.
Eligibility not started...
I really dont understand! Stuck at BG for 3 month now without indication of RR required
Maybe.. just maybe your case is scrutinized a bit more because of recent history of Serbia? Or because they are checking criminality through your country's agencies. Whatever it could be, I am guessing it's related to your country of origin. It's all just a speculation.
First, Ottawa is one of their biggest and major offices, so it is pretty normal that the file does not need to move at all.
Second, if everything is alright with your application and they already set it to recommended pass, then why do you care who did that or which visa office did that. Take it easy my friend and don't stress yourself out for no reason. Hopefully ppr arrives before 6 months timeline
