I am Inland applicant. I applied under CEC express entry. Maybe that’s why he told me it was approved. He also mentioned all stages were marked completed and just waiting for the P1 letter to be sent outThat's rare for them to inform that you have been "approved". Maybe for inland candidates saying approved is easier as there are no more steps towards eligibility. For outlanders, they refrain from using such a language and instead use words like "all stages are completed".
