Got off the phone with an IRCC agent (super nice guy btw, was able to speak to him after 10+ attempts today) and this was the update he provided:
NOC 2174 Inland
VO Ottawa
AOR - June 15, 2021
Medical Passed - July 13, 2021
Biometrics Not Needed- July 13, 2021 (Were completed earlier in 2019)

Eligibility: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Security: Either not started or in progress, don't remember exactly

Anxiously waiting to get a portal confirmation email soon :D
Can you please share any tips you used to get in touch with them? I have tried severally in the past couple days with no successful attempts due to high call volumes.

I actually automated the process in my phone. I have an android phone and downloaded this app called MacroDroid and after 1.5 hour of setting it up i was able to automate the entire call process (all button presses etc) which made it easier for me to make a bunch of calls in a row until I was able to talk to someone (it was around 4pm PST time when i finally got through)

Be sure that you have a TRV too. Because i have a work permit till August 2022 but my visa expired last april. I can’t leave Canada now.
I applied visitor visa 3 months ago but the processing time says 173 days:)
If everything goes well, I guess I will get my PR before the visa:)
So can we apply TRV after AOR? Will it impact processing on PR application? My WP extended but visa is expired.
