I wonder what the basis is for applications to be assigned to PVO/SVO Sydney/Ottawa.
PNPs most of us are assigned to this combination of VOs, and very few lucky PNPs get assigned elsewhere. CEC and FSW I'm not sure what is the logic.

It is difficult to say for sure what the status update in the tracker means, but it is possible that it means that the officer responsible for your file has opened it. Another possibility is that the tracker is simply updating to reflect the fact that your file is still in progress.
Unfortunately, processing times for Sydney are quite long, and it is not uncommon for applications to take longer than the advertised processing time. However, it is concerning that you have not received any updates since January.
If you are concerned about the delay, you may want to contact IRCC again to inquire about the status of your application. You can do this by phone or through the IRCC web form.

Thank you. I have contacted them several times using both, but there is still no update.

AOR in October,
Security since March.
I am thinking about Mandamus. Too frustrated
Omg ( my security since March as well.
as I know, most of lawyers say that mandamus is effective after 1,5-2 years. maybe you know someone who takes cases earlier than 1, 5 years after Aor.
Have you ordered notes?

I ordered mine in July or August and am still waiting, too.
Email their ATIP email ID with the Temp Ref number that came when you created the request.

Thanks. It turns out my background check was completed the same day as yours according to the tracker, with a GU in my CIC account. I haven't received the portal email yet.

good luck to you for the remaining steps, I'm anxious how mine will proceed.
