Just called this morning and the response was still updating!!!!
Single applicant

It's a very long wait. I was talking with some people from this forum today from August and September 2015 batch and they are still waiting. They sent PPR to Dec and Nov batch applicants 2 weeks ago and remaining are in depth security screen situation which is not going to be short. Basically, they send all application from specific countries for this security screening (for example Iranian, I haven't seen any August-Dec 2015 inland Iranian applicants received any news! (If there is someone please share). There is no sign of any activity to speed up the process.
 
Update:

Received a passport request: March 10, 2017
Passport sent: March 12, 2017
Passport stamped and returned: March 17, 2017
I received my passport on March 20, 2017.

Going to do the final step this weekend at the border.

Good luck everyone.
 
Alright so I have a question for you guys.
I looked into my latest GCMS notes and its showing my file office as Centralized Intake Office.
I applied in Feb 2016, wondering if during the final stages the document goes to Ottawa?
Does it matter who it has been updated by? Mine is showing as updated by CM01160.

Thanks guys.
