A couple updates for everyone wondering!!!
Stream B: Applied July 9 in the evening (Ontario)
Called IRCC yesterday! My PCC is expiring on Feb. 18. They told me to use the same one whenever the time comes. It’ll be all right since I haven’t been to India since 2019 and haven’t lived there for 6 months or more since 2018!!! IRCC officer can still ask for a new one though. If you aren’t able to get a new one within 30 days, send a webform to extend the deadline with a proof that you’ve applied. They will extend it (as per IRCC agent). He was nice. He told me he gets hundreds of calls everyday from people asking him why some of them haven’t received anything yet even though they applied early. IRCC agents have no information on the processing criteria. They don’t know why IRCC is doing that. All applications go through various processing centres at different stages starting at CPC Sydney. They’re responsible for intials checks and issuing BILs and AORs.
He also told me that a lot of people are calling them because it’s been a day they received their portal email but no eCOPR. Some of them are actually spamming IRCC. People are calling them because they didn’t receive AOR but they have received PR portal request. Honestly, some of them need to have patience. A lot of us have received nothing. He said it will be processed soon. It won’t extend too much now. IRCC is speeding up the processing!!!
