My AOR was on Nov. 13th 2019. The process has reached 88%, my work permit will expire by the end of June. Due to the current situation, very possibly the PPR will not come by the end of June. I know I can apply for a BOWP, I think the BOWP is slow as well. By my work permit expiring neither PPR nor BOWP arrived, I think I can still stay in Canada while waiting, but do I still have the public health insurance? As the health card will be expired at the same day as work permit.

It stays like this for months. I noticed a GU a while ago. Don't remember exactly when, probably Feb or Jan. But that was the only one I noticed. Not sure if I missed one if I didn't check it very often.

Just curious, is that possible that they are processing inland applications as I saw couple of inland people providing updates.

I applied GCMS Notes 1 month before and below are the latest comments.
Security not Started.

Case Analyst:
Recommend Pass.
CEC MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Appears met ready to finalize RPRF: Complete


Does that mean all other checks are good?

I feel like they are still processing the application, but just not sending PPRs at the moment. As the IRCC site says submitting passport and documents are not available. From https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application I don't see any PPRs after mid March at least the visa office within Canada.

Hey guys, I called IRCC and spoke with an agent regarding my file. Apparently my file has been transferred from CPC Edmonton to Ottawa's office which is good news I guess and shows progress. Also, my criminality check has been passed. But my eligibility is still being verified. That's a bit frustrating considering that I'm an inland CEC applicant with only 11 more days left on my original timeline.
The agent also stated that PPRs have not been issued for a while (over a month) and all landing/interview appointments are cancelled. So even if we get our PPRs with the current situation the Permanent Residency won't get finalized. You can find my timeline here:

Inland CEC applicant
Progress: 94%
VO: CPC Edmonton -> Transferred to Ottawa
ITA: October 30th 2019
CRS: 481
AOR: November 3rd 2019

GCMS note ordered: April 16th 2020

Pheew. this calms me a bit because my current status reads the same but I have not been able to call IRCC. but going by your discussion with them, this status does not mean that nothing is being done. I will just have to be patient, also I am an outland applicant and my AOR is Nov 22nd. Hopefully we get to hear what we have been expecting.

I submitted a webform on April 17th, where I told them I got a message on April 6th that my account was updated but that there was no change in my online status. Here is the response I received:

  • The medical examination results on file are currently valid.

Well now your story entirely changes, it might be regarded as misrepresentation even though unintentional. Not sure what to say here, I don’t have any experience in this kind of situation.
I just got off a call with IRCC agent and they said my eligibility is passed. How accurate is their information? Can I rely on what was said from them?

That means you have passed. When I called them , they said eligibility is still in progress. Did you had any Ghost Update recently?
