I had a call with agent some time back and got to know that they are working on the priority cases at this point of time. Means pulling up those cases whose status is about to expire soon. My work permit is valid till Jan 2022, I believe this could be the reason of my application being delayed. What's your status? Is it expiring anytime sooner?
In my opinion this is crap from them. There are people in this forum who are getting COPRs.
After doing lot of research I can say following:
1. Most of the folks whose AOR is after March
and Their case is happy path (e.g. no additional info/ procedural fairness etc) - are getting CoPR on time
2. Folks whose AOR is from Jan to Mar
and has got remarks of COVID PACE ( in early days on pandemic most cases got this remarks) - are sent to backlog. These applications are being processed for eligibility, medical etc, but when it comes to CoPR they are putting it in backlog without any ETA.
3. Now for above two points, if you are Outland, then no/ limited CoPR
lastly, I don’t think there is any bearing of expiry of work permit. They don’t care because there is something called BOWP
