BOWP approved. I received no email and no update in my online account however the permit arrived in the post (I got it today, but unsure how many days, if any, it was in my mailbox for).
Applied March 11th via paper. Permit was issued on on July 9th.

Did you guys see the new processing time? It still says 91 days but they’re working on applications received on a March 23 2019. Something is wrong there!
Anyone of April 15/16 2019 applicants got approval?

The previous update (June 30) it was ( working on applications received on March 30). So Yes, I believe there is something wrong with the latest update of the website (July 7). Also, by simple math, if they are working on applications received on (March 30) this means these applications took 97 days.

However, yesterday someone mentioned that he applied in April 9 and he was approved in July 17 which means 96 days. I hope some other gays with subsequent applications dates got approved.

I hope my first implication is correct.

BOWP got approved about 2 hours ago!
I did not receive an email, I just checked MyCIC account around noon today and the current status was changed from submitted to application/profile updated

Previously, under the eligibility section:
Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.

After the ghost update, it changed as follows:
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Not sure what's next...
Congrats!!!! Did you recieve email or post

Hi , yes mine took about month and half. I was pleasantly surprised. You will get urs too soon before BOWP. Well I sent out my passport for stamping, apparently it takes 2.5 weeks, so I don't want to ask refund yet. I like to be on implied status till then Good luck , let me know when u get urs

Thank You. Yes we did send it with Tracking number. Using which site can we track the status? Canada post says "It's delivered". After that do we have to wait until our CIC gets updated? Sorry for too many questions.
