I received P1 on November 21st, replied the same day, and then re-sent email 2 twice, I never got an automated reply, I think there's nothing else to do but wait...
Congrats Joe, saw you've received your P2 from the google thread.
 
Hi ,

First of all congratulations.

Could you please advise how did you follow up ?
Thanks,
Called frequently to cross-check whether everything was all right with my application.
Mailed my Local MP to look into my application, but just got the status update.
As my PGWP was about to expire at that moment, I got feedback from the IRCC agents and applied for the BOWP,
 
Received EcoPR today

CEC Inland (+ 2 dependents)
AOR: May 21 2023
All stages completed + COPR number reflected in tracker: October 16
Final Decision in GCkey: October 17
Portal 1: November 21
Portal 2: November 22
ecopr: December 19
PR card: waiting

VO on portal email: Etobicoke
Ecopr expiry: August 26, 2024
 
That is true, but the maintained status only allows you to continue working under the same conditions as your old expired permit. If you're on a work permit tied to a specific job then you won't be able to start a new one until you actually get your BOWP. Plus, you may not get provincial health care coverage while in maintained status—last I heard of it, it's at the discretion of the individual offices. So yeah, having applied for it gives you some rights and you absolutely should do it, but actually getting it is a lot better.
Yeah, When the days between the day your current work permit expires and the possible ecopr date are in months, then of course getting BOWP is wise for your Health Insurance at least. In my case, it was just days.
 
I have received the PR confirmation portal email on Nov 28, 2023 and responded on the same day. Any ideas by when I should be expecting the login to the portal?

Hey,
I also received the PR Confirmation portal email on Nov 28, 2023 and responded on the same day.
I still haven’t got any reply. Still waiting.
Let me know if you get update.
Thanks
Harry

What's more unsettling is I haven't heard anything about my BOWP yet. The processing times for work permits from within Canada has been around 145 days for months, now it's down to 129. Having applied on July 17th it should have come in about a month ago now. Is anyone having the same experience?

I also applied for OWP on July 17th and haven't been approved. Just got an ADR on Nov 29, haven't heard from them since.
