Yes you may send them a CSE, they will respond you with the Visa office and if you would get any other useful information, that totally depends on the officer who gets your Enquiry. - https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-...se-cas-eng.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
Or may try calling them as well, but getting through the long queue is a matter of luck.

Hi there,
You can get to know your visa office by raising a CSE. Ask them about your eligibility, criminality and security along with visa office. That's what I did and got to know mine is Ottawa. Similarly you can also call them and ask them these same things.
Apart from these things they won't mention much. Neither during call nor CSE. If you want more details then gcms notes is the way to go.
 
Thanks :)

I see people talking about ghost updates like this but I think ghost update is when it shows updated but nothing seems to have changed. But what he/she got is the profile update without email. I might be wrong.
I understand that but here you got no update but something change. So what is this generally called then? Silent update maybe?
 
Based on current trends, does the profile gets updated to 'We are currently processing your background check...' or is it the PPR email? Can someone provide insights
