I have approximately the same timeline. I can already see the COPR document issued (starts with a T) with an expiry date of May 3, 2024, but no email yet with the final decision. Everything is marked as completed on the tracker.
Got the portal invitation email a few hours ago!
Congratulations, if you don't mind can you share your timeline and GU?
Great! Congrats. Could you please tell us what is your processing center. As we can also see the COPR number in application tracker from 14th June but still haven't received the portal link mail.
Not sure if there is a certain timeline for Background checks. It varies case by case. My Background check has been In Progress since October 2022 (Inland, Mississauga CPC). Some people posted their timeline with Background check done within a month or two
Seriously? It takes forever!
It might take really long time, might not. Depends on many factors (which nobody knows except IRCC). As an Inland applicant, I received my pre-arrival letter within 4-5 weeks after the application submission. It turned out the pre-arrival letter was not very useful for an inland candidate and did not mean that the decision was coming soon in my case. Fingers crossed, you can get through all this much faster!
Basically, you need not keep eyes on Eligibility because IRCC reviews this only using a couple of days. For example, while Eligibility might not begin today, it could be finished by the following day. On the other hand, the Background check is typically the lengthiest stage, potentially lasting several months.
