I called IRCCC 2 weeks ago. If I call them again will the agent get mad at me?
No they won't get mad at you.
Applicants have a right to get status updates about their application. If there hasn't been movement on your file, then it might be a wasted call in terms of your peace of mind, but the call center agent can't be mad at you, and is obliged to provide you the information you request, where possible.

Got approved on 17th March and currently on my 10th day of waiting for the email with COPR. There is no pure happiness in this whole process. If anyone is happy one day, IRCC makes sure that they are sad for the next few days. Sadistic guys. :p

If you're "Approved", does that mean the process is over, or is it only finally over when you get "COPR". Because I don't see why they don't issue COPR along with Approved status in one go

I think you are pretty safe when its approved but i would still say its over once you receive COPR

I see. I remember for study permits it wasn't like that. It would say "A decision is made. Please send your passport". And then you need to wait until the passport comes back to you to see whether you've been approved or not.

Yeah I think some people still get that email. I have seen people just get COPR straight into the account

Technically once it is approved, then your COPR gets put in a queue for printing once the Officer initiates the process in the GCMS system. For most things, it is better to wait till you have the COPR in hand to be absolutely safe, but if you are Approved, then you can breathe a sigh of relief

Second that. In pre Corona world approved would mean sending the passport for one time entry Visa stamping and then once you are entering Canada a COPR will be issued. So, Approved means almost complete.
