The only way to know where your eligibility is being done is through the GCMS notes. In some cases, eligibility starts at the CPC and then the file is transferred to the local VO where it is reviewed further before the final decision is made.
What did the agent tell you about your eligibility status?
I called CIC today and got to know that VO is Ottawa. Background has not started yet. When I asked regarding eligibility, she told me that all the documents are in the place and so background May start in coming weeks.
I can easily see atleast 2 months (if everything is right) before any good news.
It is exactly as she said: your documents are in order (in other words, you passed R10/completeness check) but eligibility check hasn't started yet. You can check back in a month to see if eligibility has changed to 'under review', 'met'/'recommended pass', 'passed', 'review required', or 'not met'. The agent will say these terms very clearly.

She told me exactly these words (I am translating from French):
“We are still looking at your documents and no abnormality was detected, all the needed documents were provided, we are looking at your antecedents and processing is going fine nothing unusual here, all you have to do from your side is to wait”
About my visa office:
“Yes, it is Ottawa, that’s where the cases are processed”
Not a very clear terminology, not mentioning anything about eligibility.
It depends. If you are in USA since you were 18, it would be fastest because there would be no background check from your country. On the other hand, if you came to USA recently it will take more time for the background check as they have to do it in another country. To answer your question, it can be anywhere from 40 to 120 days depending on years of stay in USA and your home country.
No one knows for sure, but of what I have gathered, applications from US residents seems to be processed much faster than others. And this seems to be for two reasons, your background checks are done faster and most of your applications are processed in Ottowa which seems to have one of the fastest VOs.
Yea I get what you’re saying. But I am asking the latest August aors residing in US who got PPr after moving to Ip2 how many days did it take for them. So that I can estimate mine. Thank you for info

That’s not right. I have been in the US for 16 years and only had to submit US FBi certificate. I have been in ip2 for 2 weeks. IMO they are queuing every one right now. My AOR is Aug 31st.
That's incorrect. The file comes to local VO only if a verification of local employment/bank is needed. If the analysts think everything is ok, the file comes to local VO only for Visa stamping and last minute verifications if required.
