Hey Guys,

Just wondering if there is anyone else from the First week of August who is still waiting for approval.
My AOR : August 4, 2020
Inland with 1 inland common law dependent
Passed medical : September 29, 2020
Biometrics: November 23, 2020 Completed.

I've received 3 ghost updates after completing Biometrics, but I'm pretty sure the first one was a glitch as the website was having server down issues.
Those 2 "legit" GUs happened roughly 2 months and 2 weeks ago respectively ,all no emails , just application/profile updated in Portal

Am I getting close to the final approval ?
Does NOC affect processing time? Mine is fitness and recreation related so I'm guessing they postpone those covid-affected NOC applications ?

Yes. We all received it.
This is annoying. There is no update like since months. I have seen folks who received aor in august 2020 are getting their confirmation email. are they from other country or like some special candidates. don't know what's happening :(

Yup that's right. First you get approval and COPR "details" like document number etc. After a bit, you get the e-COPR via email. I'm also in same boat, approved in portal, awaiting COPR
Is it true? I heard many people in this forum saying something about downloading CoPR, so I assumed it should be downloadable in your CIC account, shouldn't it?
At least there is one person able to download it from the portal https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/august-2020-cec-applicants-timeline.702735/post-9308214
