Almost similar timelines to yours. I called them in NOV and found status as below:
AOR: July 03
Eligibility; Recommended Pass
Medical: Passed
Background: Review started and reached half-way through
Biometric: Updated as a part of Background check
VO: Ottawa
However, on 23rd Dec, I have received my biometric fees back. so Hoping for best.

We all have the same status with July AOR and should expect COPR around the same time.
AOR: July 8, 2020
Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Criminality: Not started
Background : Not started
BOWP processing time has gone done dramatically from an average of 4 months to about 2 months. Lets hope the same applies to our PR applications in 2021.
If they are to meet set the target of 400 thousand, they will have to issue at least 33 thousand COPR per month. I believe they will focus on clearing most of the backlog from 2020 from January-March, 2021,

Security and criminality will likely be done simultaneously. You might be one of the lucky few to get COPR in January,2021 or at least have your application approved on file.
I heard multiple times from this forum that security only starts when eligibility passed (not recommended pass). You are the first case that I've ever seen with security starts before the eligibility was finalized.
AOR:- July 08
Eligibility- Recommended pass ( since November 28th)
Medical passed
Biometrics exempt
Criminality - In progress
Security - not started
my current work permit expires in June 2021. should I apply for a work permit extension? I used the job offer for ITA.

You can apply for it when you permit expires in 4 months or less. mine is also expiring on June 2021
My understanding is that they only refund the biometrics fee once you have reached the final stage and when your application has been approved or denied.
Maybe they have your biometrics, just the system is not updating it.
I would try to reach the call center and see what they say.
No, mine got updated shortly after they received my medical and it shows complete.
