I talked to a lawyer, he said processing time is 6 months to 1 year. That means most of us who havent gotten ppr yet will get within the next 2 months or so (hopefully).
My AOR was 11 Sep 18.
I had to order my GCMS notes because my online profile has not been updated.
Eligibility - Passed (16 Oct 18)
Criminality - Passed (08 Nov 18)
Medical - Passed (09 July 19) [The clinic forgot to upload my x-rays so I lost four months]
Security - Blank [Agent told me it was passed]
I had S15 in the corner. From what I read, you won’t know whether it is in progress or complete. It will stay blank.
I called CIC and the agent told me it was passed. Someone on the forum said if criminality is passed there is a good chance that security has passed too but can’t confirm that.
I also confirmed today that I am receiving an email in the next few days. I think this may be my PPR.
By the way, my online profile has not changed, and it still shows that they are reviewing whether my spouse and I meet the eligibility requirements and background check is in progress, etc. So, always check your junk email and spam.

He will give you update, but you can get it also by calling CIC. Emailing Ralph is particularly useful for those applicants who’s applications are outside Canada, because we cannot call CIC to inquire about our application. And raising CSE and emailing Visa office is useless cuz they take forever to reply. Ralph will give you reply mostly within same day or next. Super fast.
Why can't one simply call CIC/IRCC? It takes half an hour and you can get the statuses of eligibility, criminality and security. The only thing that can't be heard from such a call - the reason for RR (if any).

Please read again carefully what I have written...
“.....useful for those applicants who’s applications are ‘OUTSIDE’ Canada....”
You see people who’s applications are being processed outside Canada i.e. their files are assigned to non local visa offices, cannot call CIC to inquire about their applications or get updates. When we call CIC, the agent will say ‘I cannot assist you with this query because I do not have access to your file since it is being processed outside of Canada’.
Make sure that your email is correct. Whether you contact CIC or check your GCMS notes.
I noticed in my GCMS notes that they used the wrong primary email (it was an old one that is now deactivated). My correct email was secondary.
The PPR email is only sent to the primary email, so I have had issues trying to get that corrected and the PPR sent to my proper email address. The agent said I usually have to wait 5 business days before they can contact the agent to make the correction, but he made an exception. Hopefully I get that PPR today!
