My case history
AOR: Oct 17 2019
AINP (Albert PNP)
Sep 18 2020: 1st CoPR issues Never sent to me as medical was expiring in 2 weeks. No PPR email. Didn't even realized my application was approved
October2020: Someone from Etiobioke office reached out for virtual Landing thinking we are already in Canada. Responded saying that's not the case
December 2020: Received "Interested to immigrate email" with information that medical has been extended till August 18th
January 2021: Never received PPR email. Got a travel authorization letter with PRV and CoPR number asking me to travel using that letter. No CoPR in hand. The letter validity till November 30th 2022. Application status approved and closed.
March 17th: Received email that authorization letter was sent in error as I am travel restricted. I was not.
May/June/July. Confirmed that I am not travel restricted and can travel via land border (given I have no PRV). CoPR will be printed at POE
June: Received an official email that I can travel if not travel restricted and valid COPR
Early July: Confirmed with Air Canada. They said they will allow me fly using authorization letter
July 16th 2021. Flew with Air Canada. Landed at Vancouver Airport
Landing: Everything was smooth till officer said they can't print CoPR as the attachment is not there in my file. Everything else showing valid.
Didn't confirm Landing but allowed us to enter Canada with a letter that said Entry allowed for further examination... Can't work. Said system issues. Should be resolved in a day or 2. Case transferred to Calgary airport. Said wait to be called by them.
Flew to Calgary and checked into Hotel
July 19th 2021: Went to airport to CBSA office. No one looking into Case. On my request somebody tried again but still getting same issues.
July 21st: Went again but same issue. Requested them to confirm me in system so that I can start working. Officer nice guy. Confirmed me in the system but can't print CoPR. Legally can work now..
Talking to IRCC call center almost daily to see if they can send me CoPR and confirm my family but they are lousy bunch of people. All disconnected system.
Status now: Can't get anything done becusse we cannot apply for SIN as they need proof of status. Passport stamp doesn't help. Family still stranded. IRCC call center just opening ticket giveling us no timelines. Overall very furthering and depressing. Silver lining: Joining work on Monday. They can't run the payroll as I have no SIN but I can start work.

Did you send both passports in one package with the same request letter? Or did you receive two different letters for primary applicant and dependent?
Let me clarify
Primary Applicant & Myself - we had our courier picked up from Blue Dart on 21 July at aroun 7 PM.
The AWB number which was received by uspost the Passport Submission Form could be used to track the courier.
However, that AWB completed its journey at New Delhi on 22 July 2021 at around 11 AM.
Post this, each primary + dependent received emails with AWB tracking numbers.
These AWB numbers are not working on the Blue Dart Tracking Portal https://www.bluedart.com/web/guest/trackdartresult
It says records not found.
However, I did continuously receive updates via email + SMS showcasing that probably the courier was travelling
This is the latest message I received today [23 July] afternoon: [time of receipt is much later than the time mentioned in the message]
This is inspite of the fact that the AWB provided by VFS shows records not found

Your application, tracking ID No.20210722INICPKT****** has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on 7/23/2021 7:**:** AM

Seems all your passports were delivered to VFS Delhi directly. Is it?
For me, those are with VFS Chandigarh and I am curious to know whether the stamping will take place here or IRCC Delhi
Can anyone help me out, i have received the PPR but it is only one letter in the name of the primary applicant. Do we just attach the same letter (in the name of the primary applicant) when we dispatch the dependent's passport in a separate package as well? Or do we send both passport's in the same packaging with only one letter? Also, do we leave page 4 of the consent form blank (biometrics, since we have already given ours) ??
Any help would be appreciated

Please look at the bright side. after all the long wait and yes/no, you are finally there. You got a job which you will be soon starting. It could be a technical glitch and it will be resolved.
Consider the worst scenario, they could have asked you to just return back. But you are there and the officer confirmed you in the system.
You have been patient this long, a bit more. Many here are just waiting to be even contacted.
It will all be fine.
Hi @canadawaiting ,
Good to hear that you have been receving updates, even my passport was picked up on 21st July unfortunately I am not receiving any sms(I had paid for thsi service) nor have I received any mail.
Hi @Fmegha86 and @Sahilvee, i received two emails too. First one with requested additional details as the subject. But the comment part was blank and it only had the tracking id and awb number. When i searched the tracking ids, they didnt work for me. About na hour later i received another email from VFS saying my documents have been dispatched to new delhi. i also received an sms. now the vfs tracking no. is working for me on the website.
the awb number you got with the vfs tracking id is for the journey from ircc new delhi to your home. its not for vfs to ircc, so it wont show up on blue dart. vfs to ircc is though some internal system.
I agree that there is a silver lining. I had a good job in US and already came to Canada with a job. Turning us at back at border actually would have been better for us. The frustrating part is the inefficiency of the Canadian government agencies and disconnect. There is just no way you can get the issue resolved without someone taking mercy at you and helping you.
That's my question as well. They seem to be really messed up. No updates are given and nothing (except for GCMS) is transparent. The situation has become quite stressful for me. Is there any way to actually talk directly to an officer or someone responsible?
Calling them and Webform is a waste of time. Both are in-conclusive. GCMS might be the closest to what the actual status is.
Sir, I would really like to thank you for writing this post.@RKM20 @canadawaiting @CNP @idhar_chicha @Sahilvee @dhruv_delhi @DixvilleNotch
Thank you guys for your suggestion.
I dropped a reply yesterday on the same email (DO you still want to Immigrate?).
I mentioned that my medicals were completed and updated in the system on 8th June, 2021 & I guess they woke up.
I have received a Request Letter in the name of Primary applicant and not for the spouse.
Also I see a passport upload link only for the Primary applicant.
Should I wait again on should I raise a webform/email to inform them that they haven't given Request letter for spouse/dependent.
Thanks in Advance,
I too had previously sent a reply at the email asking for my remedical request to be sent to me but it didn’t work. I was then sending webforms to try to expedite the remedical request, but was getting very generic replies.
After reading your post, I thought about trying again by replying to the email, and by god’s grace, it worked. I JUST received my remedical request (had been waiting since April) and I would like to thank you for sharing your experience. I had given up on expecting a reply, but I guess miracles do happen haha.
