Yes, I am unsure about the impact of enquiry from MP office.

However, I learnt one thing that they have some different channel for enquiry from parliament and senators and they respond very quickly to those threads.
Glad you got some good news at least. But I have a question about your case. Should we believe the system here in this country is working or not working? ..:).

Usually it takes 1-2 week to receive PR in mail after approval. Hopefully you should be able to travel when they start commercial flight operations again on June 22nd.

An indicative timeline is like this :

GU1(Approved and sent for production) -> 1 week -> GU2(Printed and mailed, now its shows as approved in the portal)--> 1 week to arrive by mail from Sydney office.

It's been 20 days since COPR and photos delivered to the Etobicoke office. I am still unable to link my PR card application online. I tried every possible combination with accurate information to link the application.
Any idea usually how long it will take to link the application? As the next step, I will have to call the IRCC agent.
