Maybe we SEP AORs in Montreal should just touch the snooze button and forget about our applications until (say June? is that reasonable?). Called CIC today and I was told eligibility is in process. Here i thought it was at least recommended pass. The wait seems to get harder after 6 months, doesn't it?! You feel like you're so close, and yet so farrr, because you don't know what the outcome of the application is going to be.

When was it transferred to montreal? Also, you may want to edit your post and redact personal information.
I feel montreal attends to applications in the order it was received (just a theory at this point)
Thanks for the reply. I dont think it was transferred in the first place. Btw, where does it say it was transferred to Montreal, just curious to know if i missed to read it.
For me it was a section called Paper File Transfer. It was towards the end of the document before the EDOCS section
Thanks again!! You are right. I see that my application was transferred to Montreal on Sept 6 2018. Apart from this, do you see anything abnormal in my notes that should be taken care of?
Nothing abnormal as such but your bad luck that your file moved to Montreal little late given your AOR. Montreal does eligibility 1-2 months after they receive file which was the case with your file as well. It was done on 15 Oct.
Expect something by first week of April.
What is this theory based on? Not that I have any reason or data to falsify it, but I'm just wondering. If true, it might be worst case scenario for some of us whose file MAY have been transferred relatively late. I was told in Dec (my first time calling CIC) that my file was transferred to Montreal, but I wasn't told the exact time/month it was transferred (so I assumed it was transferred in Dec). Assuming your theory is true, how long after transfer is the current average (time to PPR) for Montreal?
Your file moved real early around September and you haven’t received ppr. Meanwhile someone with later transfer date got pprs already
There are two factors 1. When was file moved to Montreal 2. When did they pick up the file for eligibility check.
There were few people who had AOR after me but file moved to Montreal before me and eligibility was done before me. Many of those got PPR much before me.
And like everything else there is no set rule with IRCC. My guess is there is one super efficient officer at Montreal and rest are super slow. So even within a slow VO like Montreal some people get PPR relatively faster compared to others.
