Received the official CoPR letter today even though my profile showed Approved since Monday. The letter only asked to submit pictures by mail for my PR card. Glad it is over. Here is my summary:

AOR: July 17, 2020.
Medical passed: Sept. 8, 2020.
Biometrics: Oct. 21, 2020 (exempt).
BOWP applied: July 22, 2020.
BOWP approved: Aug. 11, 2020.
PR approved on profile: Feb. 16, 2021. (although it says 17 Feb. on the profile).
CoPR letter: Feb 18., 2020.

Two ghost updates in December that I did not write the date down for, then two more:
GU on 5 Feb., 2021.
GU on 13 Feb., 2021.

At least you have heard updates. In my case they are still reviewing my eligibility since July, 2020.

same here. my AOR is July 2nd lol

 

[LeoLeoLeo]

Thank You for your response
It’s very frustrating now

I know....my AOR is in July 2nd, but when I call them, they said all categories are in progress even eligibility. they didn't even say "looking good" or anything.... My application is just for my self. I feel it's pretty straightforward but nothing happen.

medical doctor on work permit expires June 1, 2021.
AOR July 8, per agent, "Welcome to Canada, passed all and just wait to contact you, there is backlog". My hospital started processing my papers to extend my work permit that expires on June 1st. I have to submit the documents for the work permit extension. Wonder what happens first ? i want to delay submission but the hospital secretatiat expects me to submit soon..

So you passed everything and just waiting for copr? When you have 4 months or less left on your work permit you can apply for a bridge open work permit. Your immigration lawyer should know this.

Hello, I just called the IrCc agent m. She told me everything is passed in your profile and they don’t need any additional document. You just have to wait for the final review from the officer,
I am wondering what that means could someone please help me.
thank you

It is not only your application. My application is similar to your situation! Unfortuanly, IRCC reviews files selectively and they only issue new AOR instead of focusing on existing applications. It is such a chaos in the department. I wish they could learn a bit from UK and Australia!

how do you know it was approved on the 10th of February? did you call them ? becaused i called today and was told that my file has been transferred to Etobicoke on Feb 8 and all looks great..

What happened in UK and AU?

Not sure about the UK (it does have a new points system), but AU and NZ seemed to have stopped inviting new applicants, particularly from overseas. But still many of the applications have been delayed. I know a friend of mine who applied for AU PR from overseas and has been in progress for over 12 months. There are stories about NZ inland applicants who have waited over 18 months without a result, some got dropped because they lost their jobs during the pandemic (NZ has an annual salary threshold of NZ$ 55,000).
