It’s complicated with outland applications right now. Nobody knows when IRCC will let immigrants from outside Canada enter the country. Better wait for request of IRCC, you risk expiration.

Yesterday I saw someone from November 2018 who received the COPR.
This already changed a long time ago, pls go to the MIFI website and register yourself! they will assign you to the nearest institutions, other than that you will get some allowances too.if you have open work permit you can not do it for freeif you have close - no time
Thank you for the information! It’a nice that they changed it. Now I have close work permit about to expire.
Hi all, below is my application time line, no medical request till now. Does this feel even normal:
We received your application for permanent residence on December 31, 2018.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 23, 2019.
We started processing your application on December 16, 2019.
Outland applicant.

Very normal unfortunately. I have very similar dates and I am inland, so not covid travel restriction excuses.

They didn't adopt to current situation, might be waiting for full recovery.

Dear Freind
To convert your PGWP to closed work permit or to extend your Closed work permit, don't forget you should submit your application at least 1 month before the expiry date of your status. This is the Rule.
If you are in Quebec, you can only get closed work permit.
If you fall in new covid policy for PGWP, you can extend your PGWP.
Remember, for closed work permit, you always need an employer. It can be a new employer or the current one you are working with.
With CSQ, you only get exemption from LMIA. It does not mean you get a work permit. Only employer can help you for closed work permit.
It means you employer doesn't need to apply to get a LMIA application for you. Your employer just need to create a LMIA-exempt Offer of employment for you at Employment Portal. It's very simple process (30 min) but it depends on employer they are interested or not. Hope, this info will help you out.
I know a bunch of cases similar to this but i don't want to be the one blaming "The most efficient IRCC" for any delays. Hope other provinces are not adopting quota systems copying quebec.
I have a question about process time.
I applied for PR in Aug2020. I received my XEP Number in Dec2020. I don't know when they will give me a permanent file Number.
If I read the following lines from my XEP letter, I get disappointed about process time.
Application received:
We confirm that your application is received and in queue for review. No information or action is required from you at this time.
Please note that this letter does not confirm your application is in process.
It means that yet they have not started process in my application.
Lets consider the following example.
If they issue me permanent file number in Jul2021, will my process time (27month) start from July2021? This is my concern. Is my concern correct? or are they gonna speed up process time in near future?

Any concern regarding stuck QSWP files is well meaning.
Those from July-Dec 2019 who received their AOR and were able to connect their application in IRCC portal saw their progress bar around 80%. So time your file spent in Oblivion would still be counted.
All the best.
Are you sure that it is 1 month before expiration? I think before expiration is good, non?
Count 27 months from Aug 2020.
November 2022 would be the 27 months limit for you if processing time won’t be extended anymore.
When I applied it was 17 months. I don’t expect that will get better unless they issue several thousand of bulk DMs for whom have already completed the average processing time in this Spring.
"At least one month before expiry date of your status" is written on the back side of your work permit.
Read back side of your work permit.
As far as I know it is only recommended to renew it at least 1 month before. I renewed it after that, as I was waiting for my company, and it was still fine.
