In case this helps anyone looking at timelines:
Received PPR for SP and SOWP on Thursday July 22. Filed VFS webform on Friday July 23. Received payment link on Monday July 26 and AWB on Tuesday July 27. Dropped off passports at Blue Dart local office on Thursday July 29. They reached VFS Delhi on Friday July 30 and received message "under process at IRCC" on Wednesday August 4.
Counterfoil for SP updated on IRCC website (GC key) on Tuesday August 10. Message received today August 11 that decision envelope has been dispatched to VAC New Delhi.
No update since August 4 for SOWP. Hope it isn't stuck.

Looks like we need to start tracking the stamping process!! Who said life would be easy post PPR!

How and when is everyone thinking of traveling?

Mine is stuck at IRCC since Aug 4. I already had a visa inside valid till Sept 2021. Could that be the cause for delay? Saw people whose PP was also delivered to IRCC on Aug 4 and they got their stamped PP back already. Really confused what should I do.

"The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. ################# has been dispatched from the IRCC Office, to the Canada Visa Application Centre in CVO-NEW DELHI."

I received this message today, but I can't see any update on my GC key. is it normal? When do the counterfoil message appear on GC key?

You should be getting it soon enough , allow for a few days. Doesnt seem to be a sequential pattern in getting the GCKey, PoE and PP dispatch letters.

Yeah, you are right. It appeared later on. Now the passport is handed over to courier. Total time spend on IRCC under processing, 4 days. I never received my AWB, I can use VFS tracking ID as ref no, right? Until now tracking site says no record, I guess I have to wait till the package starts moving?
