I had "additional documents being reviewed" status after system update, didn't actually provide any. Just today it changed to "we do not need". BG is NA since 17 June, I really want to believe it is a good sign that somebody opened the file and looked at it. Did you provide additional documents?

We have nearly similar timelines. Got a PPR within 10 days from IP2. I got processed in Ottawa. Hope you get yours soon! Congratulations on the approval!
Hahahahahhaa. This woman is mental. I know @astralsource will be one the party girls who will come occasionally and spend a sunday afternoon at the old age home with the geezers. Entertain us with a few party tricks as we chew on our crumpets.This is probably the agent handling my PPR letter.
And this is clearly the current situation in VO London! Tense!
Gotta love the office jobs!
Since you are already in IP2, I am sure you are in Ottawa and you are fine. For many of us, take the long road to Canada, we are still in NA!
welcome to the mysterious world of CIC. it isn't a matter of AOR date but visa office. And that basically is determined by sheer luck. Visa offices also pick and drop in terms of pace. LVO was fast until about early this year.
Hopefully with additional files being transferred there, probably they have gotten additional resource.
There is another thread of folks stuck in London VO and I did lurk around there. A lot of pakistani and Nigerian cases are handled there. Many PNP cases there too. I am neither Nigerian, Pakistani nor a PNP but I am there for load sharing obviously. There are folks there with 8 months AOR in waiting at London though amajority seem to be getting PPR on the 6th month. I am on day 108 today and I have no hopes of getting my PPR before day 180 now. Its a long wait...but hey, better late than never.
London has a reputation of files just lying there ''úntouched' based on GCMS notes since they are overburdened there. I still dont understand why they keep shipping files there.
I had a change of ADR last week. My ADR changed to "we don't need additional documents". and I was excited since I heard that in many cases, this happens before IP2. However based on what I read on the London VO thread, that means nothing for CIO folks. It means, that they have dressed us up really well, made us prim and proper, polished our shoes and sent us off to our AUNT in LONDON VO!
The ADR change means that they have checked all our files at CIO - It is technically an Eligibility check based on past GCMS notes. However, London doesn't seem to believe the CIO check so many GCMS notes show that London checks the eligibility again and then it goes to security and then PPR from London office. You are of course free to send your passport for stamping to your local VO but the PPR mail comes from London.
Average processing time from what I see for London - 150 to 200 days. And they usually don't even freaking look at your files for a month or two. And that's how the cookie crumbles!

Ottawa isn't so bad. It is possible you get PPR even with the lack of update. Happened to a few folks here.

So scared to ask for Visa office now. I have a sinking feeling I have been shipped off with you to LVO. I am up for update on Visa office on the 7th of Aug ( checking for update on visa office every two weeks) the Last update was 21st of July (still at Sydney as at 21/07/2017)
John is already making new friends on the LVO thread guys. I feel jealous. I just left that thread and it is depressing to read the comments there. Applications 8 months in wait with no traction. Talks of raising a petition and all. Really depressing. Some have it easy, some don't on this PPR journey. Everything is just down to being at the right place at the right time.
If I'm going to be chilling at an old age home, I might as well become friends with the other old folks there!
