Before I got my first portal email, I called them, and 1 agent said my CPCO Covid RFV status was closed, 1 agent said I was still in the group, so I don't really know...
I got it early November. Try sending an email to the portal team. They sent me the first portal email by replying my email that I sent early October, and my email to the portal team show up on my gcms notes.
Hi! I am wondering if you have received your copr? and what is your timeline? my primary office is always CPC-Ottawa, and secondary office just changed to OSC. AOR July 2020.
However, they don't get the job done. They claim they do not have enough support and laptops for working from home, and that's the reason why there are delays and backlogs.
Meanwhile, you should not have any expectations on them about saying your application is close to finalize. They told me the same thing 6 months ago and I am still waiting for my first portal email.
Seems like the upgrade was with webform auto-reply. I submitted a webform tonight and got the same reply in an hour. Previously, I would receive that reply the next morning.
That's what I think too. They are focusing on all the new applicants to lower the average processing time. When they have some spare time, they might process few in the backlog. That's why we can see some people from AOR to COPR within a month
