What will be the next step? Transfer the documents to the local office? I read the posts here and find someone said there will be very fast for the email AOR receiver to transfer the applications as soon as it was in process. Hope it is true.

My application was sent on Sep 16th and received on Sep 19th . The ECAS shows it’s in process since Nov 28th, shortly after that the receive line disappeared and I got the letter AOR and study book around Dec 12th.
There’s no update in ECAS since then, so I phoned CIC today and was informed my application was transferred to the local office on Dec 16th.
I live in Victoria so I guess my local office would be in Vancouver.

Does anyone know what are the stages the application goes through while "In Process"?
I know that the first stage is the "Background Check" but what's next?
