Hi everyone,
Today I called IRCC. She told me that my PVO - Ottawa and SVO - Etobicoke. I received my P1 from Montreal.
how do we know which VO is processing my PR?
Below are my timelines:

1. AOR - Jan 2023
2. All are green in the tracker - 24th Nov 2023
3. Final Decision date - 1st Dec 2023
4. P1 - 1st Dec 2023
5. COPR number and expiry date update in tracker - 4th Dec 2023
6. P2 - waiting

I'm having problems understanding why people with expiry dates that are expired or almost expired are not yet getting eCOPR.

I spoke to an immigration officer today on the phone and asked about the relevance of the COPR expiration dates. He said it has nothing to do with eCOPR generation, and that it's just something for their side of things. He said not to worry about it because they can just extend it if needed.

It has appeared to be a pattern though, so I don't know what to make of that.

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense. I heard of some people who's COPR expired and they just had an extended expiry date when they finally did receive the eCOPR.

I meant also that people with expiry dates way longer than yours already have their PR, I just don't understand their system of doing things.
 
Virtual Landing Unit should be pretty good. Consider yourself lucky for not getting VO Montreal. Your eCOPR will probably come soon.
I highly doubt that. Virtual Landing Unit (Ottawa) is very slow in eCoPR processing. I'm waiting for my eCoPR for 54 days now. And as I see from the posts at the beginning of the year, some ppl were waiting for three months for eCoPRs from the VLU. It's Ottawa, the center of the Canadian bureaucracy, and they work as slow as other offices. I'm wondering if that might be any reasonable explanations for these delays.

I think a major factor is also the stream and processing time standards for the stream. For example, Express Entry standard is mostly 5 months. But for my stream, it's twice that at 10 months, so they can delay mine and still meet the standard. So I probably have to wait until they're done with all the EE applicants and have some free time to deal with others.

It looks like there is no real system for the eCoPR issue. You can relatively easily track your application before the final decision. There is a defined process for that, and you can find its description. But after that, it is a black box. In normal processing ppl get their eCoPRs in hours, max a couple of days after they submit in-Canada declarations.

Well, I've been waiting 98 days from VO Montreal. Yeah, they're all slow, but it seems Montreal is the worst.

IRCC's service standard for EE applications, except the Quebec stream, is 180 days. Five months is the average processing time for CEC and FSW in the last months

You're right. And there's no service standard for my stream, so I'm probably permanently at the end of the queue and have to wait for months still.
 
I've uploaded my IME ON MAY 29, 2023. But I used my IME from my previous work permit application which was done on March 18, 2023. Now what would be my COPR Expiry?

Is it March 2024 or May 2024?

I am sorry for the little confusion with the dates. The CORP expiry date is 27th Nov 2024 (It appeared in the tracker on 4th Dec 2023.
