ok thanks, for me Primary office: Etobicoke IRCC, Secondary office: Centralized Intake Office
***>>> March 2020 AOR <<<***

I've never been to the US, but there was a note saying that USA has cameback as complete for info sharing.
Not trying to take IRCC's side here, but even before COVID i had friends who gotten their PRs in 4 months others in 6 to 8 months. So I think it all depends on your case: nationality? Countries you lived in? how many countries you travelled? Number of dependents...etc.
When I phone IRCC and ask the agents why people with AORs after me are getting their COPRs, that's what they usually tell me. each case is different. I think what they need to do is update their Estimated Processing Times to be more accurate than just saying it's 6 months for 80% of people.
There is a good post by legal Falcon showing processing times for 2016 to 2019 and how processing times have been increasing. Not sure how much COVID adds to 2019, but it's definitely more than 6 months for the whole application.
I have been to USA at-least 10 to 15 times and my criminality is passed and info sharing complete.

Hi @Invincible84 / @legalfalcon / Guys,
My COPR and PRV were issued in October/2020 and it expires in February/2021. I am currently in USA, so I am exempt from ban.
But, currently I am not willing to move to Canada right now because of on going COVID and cases on the rise in USA and Canada. So I tweeted IRCC asking for extension of my COPR and PRV.
IRCC replied back saying to check below link for latest up-to-date information regarding approved COPR.
So when I checked the below link, it says that we don't need to inform IRCC if we are not ready to move to Canada currently.
So I think that I don't need to worry about informing IRCC for now. And when I am ready to move to Canada in summer, then I can fill out web form and ask IRCC to extend COPR and PRV.
What do you guys think?

Well IRCC always hide behind this explanation that "each case is different". I don't see how such a large number cases can be different. They don't ask for additional documents or interviews. I see posts regularly from people who even have everything approved but final decision not made, or CoPR not issued. Then there are some files just sitting idle, they haven't even started certain steps for them.
IRCC fail to explain how case with similar background are so different, that some take 3 months to process and majority other take time in year(s)
Did you receive any email or call for COPR? I have application approved and document number is already generated but still waiting official COPR letter and further instructions.
Yeah dont know why it took so long but I did raise couple of webforms and called IRCC too and they confirmed they have received the biometrics but may take sometime to get updated.
