Thank you Sunny, I really hope so...
Here's my timeline and my VO is apparently Paris:
August 29, 2016: Application received by CIC
December 5, 2016: AOR sent
December 22, 2016: Medicals requested
January 3, 2017: Medicals received by CIC and started processing application
April 11, 2017: received request to provide police certificate, updated CVs, updated Personal History and
payment of RPRF
Payment of RPRF made the next day and the requested documents received in the Paris office a week later. We then submitted the documents online as well a couple of days later
August
August 25 "We're processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information". I haven't received an email notification about this status update though and have seen it by chance.
September 5 while checking the on-line services this morning, the status shows decision made but when I click it I only see the last April correspondence as the last update. MYCIC however doesn't show any update in the decision section which is still pending
