Go for PNP as well, you can apply parallel, no worries, PNP is always a better option.

I emailed IRCC and got the following reply in a day.

Your application has been approved. Please be advised that we are not sending original passport request letters at this time. The responsible visa office will contact you with special instructions to submit passport.

At least the application is approved, but don't know how long before the passport request is initiated.

Anyone else in the same situation?

Congrats. Is it allowed to email IRCC even though lawyer applied on your behalf? When did you applied and when received BVL?

I tried contacting them. They confirmed my application is in processing but wouldn't give me any further information as they provide case-related information only to the email provided in the application, which is the lawyer's email in my case.
