You mean your security has also passed which is probably a last step, so Mr VO is quite busy in finalizing later months rather than clearing the backlog :(
That is what i have been told. All stages passed and officer need to have final look. File is in Nova Scotia and it has a reputation of being slowest

Hi guys,

I've been a silent reader but I finally joined for this group.
I am applying EE FST through an agency.
My AOR is 16th Oct. 2018 and still waiting... for 7months hit now.
I heard many people are waiting over 6months or 1year.
There are waiting people for so long even in my agency.
I never thought it before and nobody told me this situations.
I am now too stressful and so worried.
I was ok till 6months but after 6months, I am horribly waiting everyday...
I didn’t call&GCMS yet.
I only sent them a webform on 7th May but nothing got any reply.
My agency told me to wait for 2months more.
I have no choice......
I am so tired to think about it...
No hope..
You should order GCMS notes if you know your application number. That will give you clear insight into your file and in case (i hope not) there is a red flag, you can action accordingly.

Today is my "bring forward" date. I am excited to potentially hear of a final decision, but afraid of disappointment if I hear nothing...
When do they give bring forward date?
I mean is this after u passed all the stages

When I called the call centre, the agent actually volunteered that info to me, and told me what the bring forward date, and explained what that date is. I did not know such a thing existed before. I am not sure if it's just something that all stages passed files get, or if all files have one. You could probably ask them during a call if your file has one.

Do you guys know if applications of the pnp-inland applicants will go to any visa centre at any point? I think my application has been at the Sydney office (Centralized Intake Office) since day one. Is it possible that they do not send it to a visa office (like the Ottawa one) at all, since we are already in Canada and don't need a visa?

Do you know approximately how long it took to transfer your file to Ottawa? Based on the last email I got, after submitting a webform, the agent said : "The initial assessment to ensure your application is complete has been finalized." and then "Your application is currently being processed at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia.". Which I think is a bit odd, as they usually transfer the application to a visa office like the Ottawa one right after finalizing the initial assessment.

You should apply for the notes yourself and not depend on the agent, Agents will hide a lot many things.

yeah, I'm a bc-pnp-inland applicant. No, I sent a request for an update on my application via the online webform. In about 4-5 days I got an email with 3 main updates. The first two updates were the ones I mentioned in my previous reply, and the last update was just about the background check that it is still in process.
