> also, would agents actually know the file status or, they'll just guess?
> Can we request urgent processing? (i'm "in progress" from about 2 months now)

I dont know if its good idea and I am surprised they tell someone that the background check is finished and where the file is !! .. For me I have to call just to make sure they received my finger prints because in the letter I received they say it has to be done and delivered in 1 month other wise the file processing stops .. Calling without a specific reason might cause them to worry . I dont know if its a good idea but its your call

Calling them does not affect processing in any way. Call centre agents have no such power.

Hi guys,
My application was delivered on Oct. 16
AOR received on Dec. 8

I moved to Toronto from Montreal so I updated my address online and received a call about a month later to confirm the address and told me that they want to send my application to the local office.

Then I received a letter a week ago that my application was sent to "Program Support Unit" and is still in Sydney!

Does anyone know anything about "Program support unit"? The only thing in my application is that I had requested first name change as I have changed my first name legally in my home country. How long this might affect the overall processing of my application?

By the way, before receiving that delay later, I had applied for urgent processing and I received a confirmation email from an agent that they "verified the information and forwarded it to the responsible office".

Yes, AFAIK, all name change requests are handled by the PSU.

All,
Just wana share the update from CIC. I just Called CIC and spoke to an agent and she was very much helpful and try to dig my case and came up that your application is still not yet opened because processing center is working on December 15th applications today and you will receive AOR in approx. two weeks because your application delivered to us on 27th of December.

Now the time between Application Receiving and AOR is almost two months and few days.

Thanks
