Best way to get a proper status update is by ordering GCMS notes. Processing in LVO unfortunately is taking longer than others and averaging 10 months. I’ve been stuck there for a year.

Guys anyone here who knows the contact number of London VO? I need to call them to enquire my PR status. They replied by writing general statements in email.

But can I order for GCMS notes outside Canada?

I got the same response this week. AOR is Feb 20th. @BillHyatt had mentiioned in an old thread that it could indicate that an immigration officer has been assigned to your application/case. That's a good sign.

I'm beginning to think that it's kinda hit or miss with LVO. I'm on a whatsapp group where Jan and early Feb applicants for 2018 have already received PPRs. I'm not sure why some applicants from 2017 are still waiting and if there really is a priority by month of submission.... As you said, the best thing is to order gcms notes. I did, and I noticed that my bg check had been partially completed, which matches the info on my online app.

From my notes I noticed I was under SS. Literally received the exact set of notes this month as the ones I received in March. Once under SS, all standard procedure timings are automatically thrown out of the window. Best thing I c an do is order GCMS noted every other month hoping an agent will notice the delay and push it somehow.

Yep, I totally agree. Ordering GCMS notes really give a clear understanding of one's status. I found out that my medical and criminality were reviewed in CIO. I didn't know that any review could be done outside of the designated visa office. I also noticed that soon after I requested my GCMS notes, my application was assigned to an immigration officer. Before that, it was still pending assignment. So I'm guessing it helps to order it for some movement...
