Hi, ya mine is Express Entry FSW-O as well. Lodging was in Feb 13th 2018. Ya, Sydney office does like to take their time. For me, I did not realise that they will take this long with COPR and stamping the passport.

Hey thats good, hop you get your Passport Stamped soon. When did you receive the PPR Request to submit passport?? Was it recent.
Perhaps by doing that i can figure out somehow how long mine would take aha

Got the PPR mail on the 6th of August. The wait for the passport is unbearable.

That's a long wait! They made you wait 174 days before sending you a PPR email- just before their 180 days time.
Was there any issues on your side thats why a Delay? Additional document or something?

I hope they don't make everyone wait as much,..i just checked so many people have already crossed 130 days mark.. lets see

Ya, I was asked to provide additional documents on three separate occasions. I guess that could be one of the reasons. Needed VO letter to get police certificate for the first one.

I see that's why perhaps that long.

Don't mind me asking, you had your AOR on 13th of Feb- how long did it take for you to jump on IP2? and then on PPR After?

I got asked Additional documents too- on 6th of June- Police clearance i provided that on 26th of June. Since then it's silence. Sydney should be quick, since they hardly have any Express entry applications compared to London or New Delhi. And for PPR stamp, i guess 20 days is usual for Sydney as per the timeline from other members too.

I exactly do not remember when I reached IP2 as the IP2 status was present for me for the majority of the time. I did get a ghost update couple days before I got the PPR mail on the 6th of August.

Could you share the forums/links as to where you can see the timeline for the Sydney VO. I tried immitracker but it only has a handful of cases that are in 2018.
