We are all in the same boat. I am sorry to tell you that we cannot do anything to speed up the processing of our applications.
The only thing that we can do is to WAIT, which is not easy.

Here is some math to think about, (bear with the hypotheticals).
Sean Fraser states 50K PGWP eligible for the new extention, (which was meant to be published mid June but still waiting...). Say hypitheticall 25% of those have spouses. At $255 per WP that equates to $15.9 million approx.
Now say 45K TR PR applicants need WP/WP extentions and hypothetically 25% of those have spouses. At $155 per WP that equates to $8.7 million approx.
That's not including any dependants who need visitor visas/records on any charges for restoring status, or any other fees on other programmes etc.
Nice little racket for being incompetent at your job eh.

MP said to wait for the letter of instruction. I've checked my junk email folder. Unfortunately, nothing.
Yes, it is..
https://www.canadim.com/blog/new-immigration-pathways-for-permanent-residence/
The public policies give no indication as to how long Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada will take to process these applications however these programs are referred to as ‘accelerated’ pathways to Canadian immigration. The objective behind these public policies is to allow foreign nationals and International Graduates the ability to become permanent residents of Canada to contribute to the countries economic recovery. IRCC has however committed to processing 40,000 applications received under the TR to PR immigration programs in 2021, with the remaining being processed in 2022.
Now they say to be completed end of 2023..

IRCC made $94.5 million from the fees of principle applicants of this pathway alone. That's not including fees for any dependants.
They were quick enough to take the cash...
I didn’t mark it. IRCC officers have access to do that. Mine was marked without any asks from my side - IRCC picked according to (I guess) their criteria for priority processing. I received an email from IRCC that’s how I knew they marked it.
As anxious & frustrating as waiting can be, I thought I would point out that I have only heard of one rejection in all of the TR to PR forums I have been on. That one rejection was because the applicant was asked many times to provide information to which they did not respond. There were two other rejections (temporary) that I'm aware of (due to minor IRCC misunderstandings/errors) but the applicants were able to explain the issue through a webform letter or IRCC call, and they had their file reinstated without much effort. So, although it is infuriating to wait given the original promises of the program, it would seem that patience is still the best approach while being proactive to make sure that you are always checking for notifications and requests. It would appear, at least for now, that almost everyone will get processed & passed through to PR ... eventually.
