I am not sure what to expect at this point, but let me share my case and would appreciate any guidance or feedback.
I am an FSW dependent application outside Canada and my wife is the primary applicant.
27 JAN 2022 : EE profile created and submitted
28 SEP 2022 : ITA received
8 OCT 2022 : eAPR submitted and AOR received
after multiple requests for additional docs, on 9 MAY 2023 we received PPR
same day, i see that a COPR doc number is generated on the application tracker with expiry date in line with our medicals (6 OCT 2023)
due to unavailability of appointments, we submitted our passports+photos+height/eye color on 24 May 2023.
VFS application tracker shows "under process with the IRCC" since 25 May 2023.
almost a month passed and we still dont have our passports. Our applications shows "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made" last updated on 8 MAY 2023.
i just noticed that the COPR numbers have CHANGED from the ones seen on 9 MAY 2023. WHY?
i called the IRCC twice (waiting times 40min+) and the answer is the same : YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FINAL DECISION. THERE IS NO TIMELINE TO GET YOUR PASSPORTS BACK.
How is this possible? why did the COPR number change? how long does it usually take to get passports back stamped? anyone has similar situation? what can be done?
