what's your AOR? is it around August 24 th?
I know this is Aug thread by my AOR is 20-Jul-2020. There has been no progress on my file after Sep-2020. The call centre agent told me the same that my file is in progress but looking at status of all stages, I don’t understand what’s in progress. My medicals expired in Nov 2020, still no update.

Press the agent on individual progress on stages. Sometimes you’ll get a nice agent and they’ll be willing to walk you through it. Sometimes you get a rude agent who will just try to cut the call soon

From IRCC email:

Update on IRCC processing capacity for your Economic Class – Canadian Experience Class (EE) application.
If you are a representative, please share this important information with your clients.

Dear client,

Thank you for your interest in Canada. We are looking forward to having you here.

Due to the impacts of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we’re experiencing longer than usual processing delays. Rest assured, we are still actively processing your Economic Class – Canadian Experience Class (EE) application, but it will take longer than usual to get back to you.

This also means that we are unable to provide accurate processing times on individual applications at this time. As a result, we have removed the progress bar in the online account of Economic Class – Canadian Experience Class (EE) clients. You can still get the most current information about the status of your Economic Class – Canadian Experience Class (EE) application by checking the ‘Details about application status’ section in your online account.

In order to provide you with the most up-to-date information about our current processing capacity, we are posting weekly updates on expected processing delays by type of application.

Keep us informed of your situation
While you wait, please contact us to let us know of any changes in your application, such as a change to your situation or contact information.

Important information about Canada’s travel restrictions due to COVID-19
To protect Canadians from COVID-19, travel restrictions are in place for individuals travelling to Canada. Even when your application is complete, you may not be able to travel to Canada right away. As the COVID-19 situation changes, we regularly update our website. Visit the coronavirus disease page on the IRCC website to find the latest information before you make travel plans, and again before departing for Canada, to avoid being denied boarding or entry in Canada.

We are sorry to keep you waiting and thank you for your patience,

Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada


My progress bar still exists though. I've checked just now.

I got the same email. I’m actually quite annoyed at it.

I always do so thats the question they are unable to answer when none of the stages in gcms say in progress and agent tells me your file is in progress it does not make sense to me, except for medicals expired and security - not started, eligibility is RP, criminality - passed, info sharing - complete and agent confirmed this to me that if either eligibility is getting reviewed by officer or security is in progress then it would say in progress in gcms but its not then not sure what’s in progress in my application?

I got the email. Does everyone get it or just people whose files are being worked on?
I have gotten it yet. I haven’t received approval or Copr yet. So maybe there’s a difference? Or otherwise my application is rejected and I didn’t get the email :(
