I think if one of you guys can order GCMS notes, it might give a clearer picture of what might be happening at Sydney.
I'll let you guys know what mine say when I receive them.

I'll order mine too to see if there was any eligibility check before it went to CPP-O, or whether Ottawa is going to do those like pre-Jan 2013 applications.

I've sent mine to Sydney on Apr 19th but so far no response

Hi aquareo
Any update on your documents sent to Sydney?
 
On 15th-Apr, I sent an email to CIP-Sydney asking about Visa Office assigned to me. I got following reply today

Please be advised your application has been forwarded to the VO Ottawa.

Their email address is:
OttPilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca


Thank you.

This proves that InProcess applicants are also going to CPP-Ottawa for processing. So there is no difference between application-received and in-process status from the applicant's point of view
 
Godzilla - I sent addtional docs but did not receive any acknowledgement saying they have added this to my file.

can you provide format of email you wrote to cic?

What date did you send the additional docs? And to what email-id?
 
@pmpm: I haven't received any communication from CIO Sydney yet.

I called CIC today and they told me that my file was transferred to CPP-O on Apr 23. I believe the sequence of events are:
Application at CIO> Document check at CIO> Eligibility check at CIO (preliminary evaluation on IELTS score, 12 months work exp, temp resident status)> If everything in order file transfer to CPP-O> Background/Criminality check at CPP-O> Medical request> PR

Ok looking at yours and Godzilla's updates, things are clearing up now.
Let us know if you see any change in your ECAS status.
 
I sent on April,29 to ottpilot-immigration@cic.gc.ca

Just received automated response saying: We have received your email sent to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (“CPP-O”) and will respond to it shortly.

what this implies is that my file, which has been forwarded to CPP-O, has passed the eligibility phase, which I dont think is accurate. Referring of course to "...> Eligibility check at CIO (preliminary evaluation on IELTS score, 12 months work exp, temp resident status)> If everything in order file transfer to CPP-O>...".

its more likely to be ... > Preliminary review/completeness check > Full eligibility evaluation/VO decision > Medical > Security check (criminality is PCCs/RCMP if needed) > PR. this is more in line with actual processing so far. but, I see your point with CIO...I cant quite place their role with eligibility.

what do you guys think? seniors?

Don't worry about format. For me they replied after 3 weeks. So just wait.
 
Hi Guys

I still have not heard back from Ottawa/ Sydney (reply to my e-mail query) regarding where my file is, so I called CIC and after keeping me on a long hold (and at first really reluctant) the nice lady told me :my file is in Ottawa now. She wouldn't tell when it came to Ottawa. Nonetheless "in process" applications have started reaching Ottawa now.... 8)

Other day when I called, the other lady had told me that they don't have info/ supposed to tell the status and location of CEC-PR applications, but here in forum I saw that many people got this info from CIC call centre...weird.
 
I believe all "in process" applications Jan to Mar 2013 are at CPP-O. Was wondering if anybody from Feb or Mar 2013 ordered GCMS notes?
