For what I've noticed it shouldn't matter. Although processing a case with dependents takes more time than a case with just one applicant as more applicants in a case would increase the number of documents to be verified. Also you're lucky your case is at Ottawa, mine is at Vancouver which is really slow.
Ivric I am not sure if I am lucky or not as my application is in the fifth month and still waiting, while many whose AOR are after 11th Sep have already received PPR. According to Immitracker a person with AOR as 26th Sep already received PPR. What I see so far from forums, I feel Ottawa VO is really slow. Not sure about Vancouver though. All the best to you and everyone who is waiting for the PPR. The wait is just killing.

I agree the whole process in general is very slow. Also you need to find out more on what part of background check are they working on, is it eligibility or criminality. Some IRCC agents aren't competent enough to provide you those details hence I would suggest you to apply for GCMS noted if you haven't done so already.
 
You can create an EE profile before you complete the 1 year experience. However, the system will recognize that you haven't finished 1 year of work experience. Consequently, you won't be eligible within the CEC (and nor will you receive any points) until you complete your 1 year of Canadian work experience. The system should recognize when you do become eligible. Of course, no ITA under the CEC until then as well.

Thanks for the update. My CRS will be 488 by april 1st as i complete 1 year in canada and will i be considered on CEC or FSW?

Yes Ivric, I tried to ask the IRCC agent of which part is pending but they just mentioned background check in-progress and security started. I have ordered for the GCMS notes 2 weeks back but nothing came till now. Will post once i receive GCMA notes.

Ya the call center agents are terrible. GCMS notes takes anywhere between 30-45 days.

Hey I know it is realllyyyy hard to wait but you are almost there. As you said security has started and I believe it is last step before they send PPR or landing interview. There are a lot of September people who are waiting to have their security started (I am one of them :( ) so I know it does not help but you're little ahead of most people :)

Is your AOR Nov 21st ? And which Visa Office ?
 
Logged into CIC account this morning and saw the current status as "Application/Profile Updated" but there was no update nor email saying there was an update. I clicked on "Check Full application status" and there was nothing. When i came back to profile home the current status changed to "Submitted". Any clue? Is this a ghost update?

Thanks.

I think you need to apply only 2 months before your work permits expire. It’s only 32 days. So you may wait for it. You may get something even before 32 days. My cousin had the same situation but he applied just 2 months before it expire.
Thanks
