Well hopefully this eligibility thing means that we will be finished by March 2021 as we supposed to be. On this forum I saw people getting eligibility and approval same month and others has been waiting several months since they received Eligibility and no approval yet. so confusing.
it doesn't change anything but it is just nice that they process the way they supposed to despite covid. love Canada!

so what are the next status for us? we just need the final one which is DM and then we got our COPR?

Yes I guess so. According to what I've been reading here next step is Approval Letter and when that happens DM (Decision Made ) appears as well then finally COPR and after that you apply for the card.

I see you're new here and I don't want to confuse you, but my mother for example she got Approval and DM straightaway without eligibility letter, however she got this letter 5 weeks ago and no COPR yet. What I want to say is that some people may have a shortcut on a step but they wait longer in another step. All depends on the officer and the individual case.

Yes. I'm not experienced here so I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. As far as I know AIP is passing eligibility. it's not Approval letter ( DM), and it's not COPR. My completion data is March 2021 so I'm supposed to be having DM in three months.

is AIP ( Eligibility) at 84% bad or good? I really don't understand how you measure it here.
@Yessam07 have you received AIP or not?
it's not a bad thing, some people's process is shorter while others are longer. the bar is just an automatic estimate of the time it will take. pr could be completed before or after. i got my AIP & DM over 3 weeks ago my bar is still counting down my profile hasn't been updated. but i know it is completed and just wating on COPR

@Ratmir did you get eligibility first then approval or you got approval straight away?
I'm just trying to see how long does it take to get approval after eligibility letter. Thank you brother.
It differs some only get one letter some get both. but if do get the approval letter it's same day or few days after from what i've read. call them or use the link @Ryan4 had posted that seems to have the most updated updates

guys alhamdullilah I'm July 2019 and I received eligibility letter today ( You meet eligibility...etc). The funny thing is that my mother who applied March 2019 never got this letter, she got DM straight away. she still waiting for COPR for 5 weeks now. The process is very strange and different from one to another. any idea how long it takes on average tp get DM after eligibility letter? I applied July 2019 and it's supposed to finish March 2021.

Any idea how long it takes?

Also any July 2019 members here?
Congrat bro. May I ask how long before this letter you did the fingerprints?

I have already got Dm approval letter 14 Nov. Until Today not Corp.

But today morning I got email under my wife's name pre arrival servises email (says that which services in canada about work languages etc)

Before as I know you get pre arrival letter then DM. But in my case is different I see.

And what to expect next?
Is it Corp soon after 4 weeks or still they will send some other stuff delaying the process.
