Don't worry. We are all on the same boat, buddy. You are not alone. I have the same AOR as you but FSW-O and the file is in my local VO. Sydney VO is slower than Ottawa and for some reason PNP is much slower than FSW. If one's file does not end up Review Required (RR), I observed these trends: CEC receives PPR about 4 months after AOR, FSW receives about 5 months after AOR, and finally PNP receives about 6 months after AOR. This is MY observation so could be wrong.
You can find people from Sydney VO to know the dates they are currently processing (specially look for PNP trends). Luckily, your file is in VO where you will find a lot of applicants share trends and also you are able to get info by calling IRCC. Since my file is outside Canada, I do not have either of those benefits.
I suggest you to order GCMS notes just to ensure everything is in order (most likely the notes will contain actions done by the first two officers). I got my first GCMS a month and a half ago and everything was in order. This week, I am going to order the second notes.
