I know its disheartening in a way but I consider it as good too. At least you will know where your file is and if you should be waiting for the PPR eagerly or should calm a bit.
i called them on friday after over a month and heard the same status from agent. he added that the application is still in the 6 month time frame. :-(
though only 23 days are remaining now for me and still IP1

It's official , My deadline is up and I'm still in IP1.

AOR - Oct 1st
MEP - Nov 1st
VO - Ottawa
Eligibility - met
Security / criminality - unknown

Text on the profile now reads

"Your application is taking us longer than usual to process.

About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and how quickly you answer our requests and whether the application is complete.

If you aren't seeing updates, contact us using this Web form. Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to."
Wow.........So sorry man. I can literally feel your pain. Gone are the days when Ottawa VO was an advantage over other Visa Offices. Now i am seeing Ottawa Visa Offices surpassing 6 months.
Please do the following:
1. Raise GCMS (even if you had before)
2. Call them today and hear whatever they want to say. Now you are very eligible to ask all manner of questions alongside another tentative due date.

Hello Guys,

My AOR is 12th Oct 2018 and it took a while to come to IP2.

My IP2 (We are processing your background check and we will send you a message if we need more information from you) started on 8th March 2019.

My timeline shows 11 days left to complete the regular processing period. I am getting super anxious now.

Can anyone let me know how long does it take from IP2 to PPR as its only 11 days left

Hey - I am also on the same timelines as you. All I can say is have patience. Hopefully there should be some movement this week. Have you ordered GCMS notes - did you see anything of concern in them?

The only way to know of eligibility is via GCMS notes or if you are lucky enough, the agent will inform you when you call them. I ordered mine through getgcms.com
