I am hopeless, I doubt we get something before the end of the year. Kitchener local office has become in fact very slow at this time.
It might be an indication that a large number of immigrants moved here in the past few years. But anyway, I hope you will see it before Christmas, then I will expect mine one month later or so. Fingers crossed.

I check my application status once a day. It changed to “in process” today (Dec 17). When I click on the status, I see this message:

“We started processing your application on December 15, 2017.”

I checked the spreadsheet to find all applicants from Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener, Stratford and Waterloo (I assume these area all handled by Kitchener office - correct me if I am wrong). Base on the stats:

Looks like everyone who has got AOR before Nov 22 (included) has got the IP status, except @tunpi. He hasn't got back to the forum for a week so it is possible that he also got it but hasn't updated it. @tunpi, can you report once you see it?

There are also four others still waiting for AOR, I hope you all get it as soon as possible.

I think Stratford is handled by London, I am confident Guelph, KW and Cambridge are all handled by Kitchener LO.

I noticed that @StevenJobs and @vinceyhb don't come here often so it is possible that their status is not up to date. Anyway it's good to see another progress from @pepe84. I can probably hope that I get mine before mid-January.

Why don't you send a private message to those users who haven't shown up in a while? They will receive an instant message in their emails and so they will likely come back to the forum and reply.
I did the same to a few of you and you all kindly replied.

Thanks
