Edmonton applicants:
I am in contact with MP Sohi to make him aware about slow processing of citizenship applications at IRCC Edmonton.
They confirmed it is a known issue(on large scale), and MP Sohi is already trying to resolve with IRCC.

My request to Edmonton applicants is to contact(email/phone his office) MP Sohi to pursue this issue urgently so that it can be prioritized further.

My COPR is without photo, A5 sheet written client copy at the bottom (imm kept copr which had my photo and gave us carbon copy, the one without photo) it is the original COPR but looks like a copy ( photocopy of the COPR would look same like orignal COPR). wonder how would interviewer know this is original copy and not a photo copy?

COPR is always without photo (since 2013, I am sure about). While landing, 2 copies are given (3 in case of Quebec). PR applicant signs all the copies and are given one and the other goes to CIC (and third to Immi Quebec, if applicable). They know its original as your copy will have signatures in originals and also their's. Plus there is a unique bar code and your UCI number on it. They verify it with the uploaded copy on their GCMS and match the copies, so do not worry. Not having a COPR viz loosing it or damaged is the biggest problem. I highly recommend to everyone to scan the COPR and keep a soft copy too for future as it is required for CPP payments etc etc later on. One of my friend didn't receive his COPR as he landed in middle of nowhere land crossing and the agent was new, getting a copy lying with CIC for his records and for his citizenship interview, and it took 3 months and there is no form to ask for one and an exception was made to send a copy, but he was delayed by three more months. So in a nutshell, you are gonna be on, but always generate a soft copy of all immi docs. Fire and floodings too happen sometimes.

Check out the spreadsheet. Only 75% of November applicants got their AOR and you are near the end of Nov.
