Never mind. I've just got an email says Visa Center in Tokyo recieved a decision envelope so I have to pick it up.
Does a decision envelope mean COPR is in the envelope? I've already got "Approved" of final decision on my gckey.

Assuming you got the passport request (or equivalent for ETA country), that should be the COPR.
Yes. I've already submited a copy of my passport.(Japan is ETA country)
Thank you for the reply!
Congratulations.
IRCC uses regional hubs such as Manila that do most/much of the processing of the files (specialising to various degrees in different types). But they use the other visa offices at embassies and consulates to issue the COPRs and place the visas (counterfoils) in the passports. Not dissimilar from the way that some applicants (outland) may have their files processed in a regional hub and if they are in Canada, the COPR can be issued in Canada. Or indeed some can have their files processed in Canada but the visa/COPR issued at an embassy or consulate.
Note the practice can change over time for various reasons at specific offices, during covid some changes too.
Our GCKey finally got a (minor) update... now they are saying that they are reviewing additional documents (*nothing sent to them since we forwarded the CSQ just in case in March, and before that it was December) + they said today that the applicant passed the medical exam (which had already been passed in Nov 2019)
Not sure if this is something to get excited about but at least they are looking at the file now which is the best we've got since Jan 2020...

No news until the last few days when we got a "passed medical exam"

Good luck to everyone!
Then who knows? There have been comments / cases here of IRCC just extending the validity of the medicals. No idea what they might do in your case.
