guess we are on the same boat, just sit and wait 'til the end of this year. I ordered my FOSS too (haven't received it yet) and tomorrow I'll send all the paperwork for my police clearance one more time (BS!), at least I know my app is on queue and hasn't been rejected after all.
someone I know used to work for immigration told me that sometimes they do this as a standard procedure, just to show to people that it isn't easy to get the PR approval and make difficult the immigration process, otherwise people wouldn't take it seriously and think that everybody can do it easily without the hassle. Some of us have been extremely luck, some of us have not ....
well, just enjoy the ride
