Hi All,

Happy to tell that both my wife and I received our eCoPRs via the new confirmation portal today. It was just more than a 10-month journey. There were many ups and downs throughout the process, almost pushing us to depression. Forums and Groups like this helped a lot in keeping things informed. A big thank you to all of you.

For those who are still waiting for some news, you will reach there. It looks like IRCC ramped up the processing horsepower. Just a few more days to go. Hang tight. All the best..!

Here is my speculation/assumption for present situation:

They do applications in batches, lets assume batch #1 is June Applicants, Batch #2 July and so on.

So the pace at which the application will move is also decided by the batch.

For example March applicants had to wait the longest (Processing time 10-11 months)
And looking at the June/July thread people are getting COPR's in 7-8 months
And if you look at September/October thread. They have passed Eligibility and Criminality far quicker than what June/July/August applicants. (So they are likely to get PR in the 6 month timeframe).

This can also be seen in case of medicals. Like I am AOR August and my medical was passed in 40 days. However, if you see on Myimmitracker now-a-days, medicals are passed within 20 days.

That's what I think is happening. And this is the reason why FIFO is not applying for March/April applicants.

IRCC is working at full capacity for CEC and by that it could be inferred that March/April applicants would get before June/July applicants, however they are not because of thing that pace ties somehow to application batches.

And all this also has influence of the VO. Vancouver being the fastest. And of course there are exceptionally lucky applicants get in 70, 100 days etc.

Anyway there are my thought, all other thoughts welcome.

TL;DR - Application pace ties somehow to application batches (AOR date).

Ya that too. COVID Pace is also another thing that influences the processing time.

I think COVID pace is for the people who they think have outland dependents or who themselves are outland. But there are also cases where they put inland in COVID pace, maybe those inland whose visas are about to expire or something like that.

There are so many September/October applicants who have Eligibility and Criminality Passed and Security In Progress and on the other hand so many from March - August are still waiting for Security/Criminality to start.

Therefore the application processing time somehow ties to how the batch of applications. Or maybe not, obvio no one knows for sure, but it could be a possibility.

Interesting analysis. When do you think they’ll get back to the March April May folks since all now have biometrics on file. I believe they were placed back into hold once they missed their time to submit bio during COVID. Now they forgot these applicants now have all requirements on file and some are inland too. It’s very sad

True, i notice that in other threads and the BIL google sheet too.

my AOR is 02 July and I passed medical on Oct 02(90 days after AOR) and I got BIL on Jan 23rd 2021(6 months after AOR, my completion date was 07 jan LOL).
and one of my friend that applied in Sept passed medical and gave biometrics within 60 days after AOR

It's really painful to see they are not touching my application (AOR April) but they have the capacity to process more recent applications.
