I also received the reply today....my file is also at CIC Nova Scotia.Is this website listed in the response from CIC for the enquiry you made?
Unless you know for sure that this website is suppose to hold information similar to CIC portal. do not bother !
Also you are a step ahead, since your application is in CPC, Ottawa. An application moving to CPC is a progress because the first step is it comes into CIO. So I believe you are progressing.
Mine is still stuck in CIO, Sydney, Nova Scoatia.
