Sent my file again as it was returned due to missing signs and reached there on Mar21st. But i got the file no when they returned it which starts from F00 something. Does it affect the processing speed?
Yes it does, the process starts all over again..

Received email for CPC-Sydney that the file has been transferred to CPC-Mississauga. I was expecting to to be transferred to visa office is Sydney, Australia as other files from Australia in last few months have been transferred there but no complaints
@schweisy came across a good post by @SeineToHumber which details why people are transferred to CPC-M:

I've added our info to the tracker, but I'm unsure of a couple of the points of info; how do I track down the following:
PA's ECAS PRAS says In Process
Medical Passed
Background Check "We started processing"

We didn't receive any emails for when these milestones were achieved, so I'm not sure how else to have tracked these dates.
Thanks.

PA's ECAS PRAS says In Process - I'm unsure on this, a lot of people put it as whenever it says in process on ECAS, but within the PA's detailed section it also changes to 'Processing your application'.
Medical Passed - Unfortunately, you're stuck with when you notice it saying passed in GCKEY.
Background Check "We started processing" - Again you're limited to when you notice it change on GCKEY.

@JoshC , there's not a lot of use actually in "PA's ECAS PRAS says In Process". First of all, there's no date for it. It's more like when you first time came to eCAS and noticed, that'll be your date. So it's not accurate. And most of the time it's the same date as AOR1. Maybe we can clean up the sheets a bit by removing these two columns? For all months of 2019.

Anyone, any ideas? Should we keep it?

It doesn't really add anything, the only way it would be beneficial is if it was used to show when ECAS changes to 'We started processing your application on'

Background checks are super sporadic too these days with many starting early on in the process.

Based on this detailed explanation, is it so that those files which are transferred to CPC-M are straight forward ?
I had a word with the Call Centre Agent ...Baed on him files trasnferred to Mississauga then they analyse and if they feel it is Straightforward , Non Complicated case ...They will give COPR from Mississauga only
