meaning wait patiently.....some say 7-20 days, but some all passed since October with no approval. Such a sick game. If the final review takes so much time, what's the meaning of the 2 rounds of Recommended pass and pass for eligibility?

6 in total, last two were on 28 Feb and 1 Mar (assumed it was when all stages passed), found out by calling on 11 March, AOR July 25, more than 8 months and counting and they have the nerve to ask us for more patience by sending out that STUPID email.

When we first applied, yes. PA inland and 1 dependent Outland. Dependent entered CA in October and raised 4 webforms (not a single response from IRCC) and gave 1 call to specifically tell me that now everyone is inland. So not sure why they are holding the application.

Congratulations. Can you please share VO Office name? what did they ask you when they called you? is that was private number? I am also in London, so just want to be prepared.

VO office is in Ottawa. They called on saturday 1:30 pm from no caller ID and they asked me and my husband’s first arrival in Canada. He told me on the call about the approval of application and immediately I got copr

Hey guys! I got my approval on March 26th!

Timeline: AOR July 21st--CEC Inland, B.C.---VO: Sydney, NS


  • March 26, 2021 Your eligibility has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below
  • Review of Medical Results: Passed October 2, 2020
  • Biometrics: November 24, 2020-Completed
  • Background check: March 18th, 2021: your background check was completed
  • Final decision: March 26th, 202-Your application was approved
I just happened to check on the 26th and saw the approval, then didn't get the email update until the day after.

I haven't gotten anything else yet-- there is a "Document Status" underneath everyhting with a document number with what I am assuming is the COPR, but can someone tell me if this is correct or what the next step is?

It's slowly but surely all coming together. Good luck everyone!
