Totally agree.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 with 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
I fall under category#2. You know on 2nd page of my gcms notes, in the application assignment section, the due date is 11th Sept 2020 (after final approval assignment) and still no update on CoPR. I think you are right about the ongoing process. Let hope for the best for all.!!!
