  • 24 December 2019 - Received Application Update E-mail (after which I could link my application to a portal account)
  • 6 September 2020 - Received request for Police Clearance Certificate (exactly after 1 year of application submission, may be it's just a co-incidence)

Let's see when they send me the CoPR.
Congrats
May I know how to get this updates from? I don't have GCKEY so I think I don't know where I am on the earth. You get it from GCKEY or what?

Hi
Submitted my cv on December 17, 2020 and no news, no updates since that .
and by the way guys does anyone know how can I find my MP and if it’s really helpful? My application should be finalized in a month (23 months wait) but they haven’t even started a security. So I’m planing to contact MP in April once I reach 23 months of wait . But does it make any sense ?
Please kindly let me know if you receive any updates.
May I know your timeline too?
Have you called them?
Has your background check started?

Me too via mail got eligibility letter this week.
Then I received request today to submit my resume and travel history.
I have postgraduate from Canada as well as many travel history. I believe they work toward static stuff related to Employment ranking or something like that.
The good sign that they touch my file and started security check.
have you received any update after submitting your resume?

Thanks @Mehrabansara

You need to have an account on https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

Link your PR application to this account and then you will get the updates.

For me, I used the above link as well as ECAS to check the status of my application and kept a record of everything happening in a notepad.

Anyone who got back his country's passport, let me know how you did! Mine is now expired, but I want it back!
This topic is never discussed and no one has clear picture
