Transfer to local visa office is the last stage, and PPR will be the next. Its actually a good sign! I had my PPR a month after! Congrats in advance!!?
We already said that processing starts the day Federal received our application. Why are you still confused? Even the other threads will mention this fact!
Sometimes its just the average processing time. Me, myself did not wait for the 22/ 23 months to finish. I got my PPR/ DM on my 20th month. All the best
I believe you can just send scanned PCC thru the webform which I did before. No need to send the original PCC by mail, but you can always check with CIC, each case is different, better be sure than sorry!
Ip1 is the early stage after you submitted your application, this is the AOR stage. IP2 is the second processing or transfer to LVO, mostly all checks passed just awaiting for final review of an officer
