Application about to reach 7 months timeline for us with July AOR's. I wonder when it will be our turn to receive mass COPR's like June applicants.
Loosing patience now not because of approval but because of uncertainty. IT could take couple of days to couple of months. I hope we can see some pattern in upcoming approves.

When they have mentioned they are working full capacity for CEC, not sure why it is taking so long? day by day it is going to frustrate.
I totally agree. Stuck in this maze and limbo it’s so frustrating! Can’t even do what I want. And move on with my life. As per what I am noticing, cec applications are taking a MINIMUM of 7 months ( if you get LUCKY) rest are going more. Hope we are finished by the end of 7 months. Feb is the 7th month for us July aors..

After June applicants hit the 7 months timeline, that is when IRCC went HAM giving out mass COPR's to them. Lets just see if they replicate it for us this month , now we have hit the 7 month timeline as well.

i checked my application this morning...
APPROVED!!!!
AOR:21 JULY
BIOMETRICS:8 OCT
BACKGROUND: JAN 23
ELIG: FEB 3
APPROVED: FEB3

I cant actually believe what i am seeing. keep the faith everyone that is waiting still.
I'm assuming they are going to send an email with a COPR document?
Your security background check was passed on Jan 23, before eligibility was conclusively passed by the officer today and final approval given.

Which is contrary to what has been said previously that your eligibility first needs to be be conclusively passed by the VO officer for security and background check to begin.

Most certainly, eligibility was passed long before now. It's only updated at the time that decision was made. Moreso, an overall check is done before decision is made which you can equate to eligibility. Therefore, decision made today equates to eligibility passed today

That appears to be what is shown on the portal, vs what is actually in GCMS notes. Eligibility won't change on the portal until the Final Decision field on the portal also changes, hence why they are usually the same date. Most likely that applicant had their Eligibility passed before their BGC (Security specifically) began.
