How can I inform them of my situation? Thank you so much @business___

No worries mate. I’d give IRCC a call and explain the situation. I’m sure if you’ve been permitted to enter Canada they’d know about your situation but just clarify it with them. None of us can tell you otherwise but best of luck and hopefully we all get our COPRs soon.

Hi @Serb11 - No problem at all!

Ah, if you need a TRV and it's taking 400+ days, then it's likely that that would take longer to process than the Covid exemption. The Covid exemption takes about 15 working days. I have an eTA, so I don't need a TRV.

But saying that... do you know if the TRV takes that long to process in "normal" times? Could it be that the average processing time is saying 400+ days because nobody has applied for one from your country, if nobody has been allowed to fly? The Canadian border shut 21st March 2020, which is roughly 400+ days...

I'm not sure what evidence you need for a TRV, but it is worth applying for the legal exemption and then attaching that as evidence to your TRV application?

@legalfalcon might be able to offer some ideas

Sorry I can't be anymore help!

Hi! that was a very helpful insight actually, because the sum of normal processing + the days since border closed is exactly how much it showing right now for processing. In that case, your idea to apply for exemption first and then for visitor visa sounds like it could work. If i may ask, how did you get your exemption?

@legalfalcon May be better able to answer this - can one apply for an exemption without an underlying visa (EE or TRV)?

Go ahead and order your notes. I am EE PNP with AOR of 4th January. When I called first week in March, was told everything except security is passed. I personally have not been checking for ghost updates but I ordered my notes last week - just to check if the security has been initiated at least and/or have an idea of its assignment and due dates. Doesn't hurt to order your notes now buddy.

Wow! Such a processing speed!!
Are you EE PNP inland? What is your visa office? I am PNP inland with Eligibility now even started AOR Dec 1 2020

I am EE PNP-Outland. The agent said my file was being processed at the CIO as at first week of March. I'll know if it's still being processed there or if it's been transferred once I receive the notes.

Your timeline... Have you ordered your notes?

Hello, what info should I have on hand before calling IRCC for updates? I have my own representative based in another country but I just thought of calling IRCC since I'm in Canada anyway. Inland FSW here.

Hi all, just logged in to my IRCC account and saw a GU, but I saw no changes at all.
My eligibility and background check are still as "we are processing...". Thought it may be changed to "your eligibility/background check is in progress"?

Hello all, just received the second GU (the first was from last Thursday). All progressions are still the same in my account. I should be expecting some updates or approval soon right. Thanks!

What is the AOR? Based on ircc my all stages passed, profile last updated in 9th May , no update after that, ircc agent telling me that it’s pending with finalization. Any idea how much time it takes ?
