Congrats . Same AOR hope good news soon , can u please share after passing all stages how much time took for approval, mine all stages passed by end of march no approval yet
So I got my first ever GU on march 23, then 2 more on 24,25. After that silence, called agent on next monday march 29th, she said all passed, waiting for final decision. Today the decision has been made, April 9, took about 16 days.. The weird thing is, I was mad and scared at the same time, because I have the same progess on all my stages since I submitted my bio and medicals, nothing was moving. Once final decision made, I am able to see when background check and eligibility were completed.

AOR Aug 20! Finally got approved, waiting for a golden email.
Congratulations n I am happy for you.
I have same AOR and when I called them last time on 30th March, agent said everything passed except eligibility which is recommended pass. Seems like my file got stuck somewhere.

I am on my 4th week waiting for eCOPR after getting approved on the Portal. The COPR document number shows on the CIC account but no COPR pdf yet.

It is getting increasingly frustrating:(
I would suggest u should raise web form immediately

@GV27 @Jasaman @Naiyer
I had called them today-- the agent told me that all stages passed means your residency application is approved and forwarded to the local office in your city. That office issues you the COPR letter. The letter will come within a month (for Etobicoke, Toronto). That said, the online profile still might show old status due to their ancient technology.

Does anyone know if I can call the CIC by myself (not asking my immigration agent to call) and ask for the status? My agent seems to be super busy to make a call .I have all the info of my application.

Hi everyone, My AOR is 24 August, CEC inland, all stages passed since the end of March. I live close to Halifax, Nova Scotia so I guess my local visa office is Sydney, NS. Has anyone received CoPR from Sydney visa office recently? What is the timeline from all stages passed to CoPR for Sydney VO? Please let me know, thank you.
