Full capacity? lololololol

sitting here since April... and there are many applicants from Feb and March as well
 
Hey everyone!!!

Why are you taking this negative? This is truly positive. They said they are clearing the backlog. Which means they will be processing the applications as they came in. So don't worry April, May, June, July AOR's you will get it first!

As legal falcon said there will be some applications that fall outside the regular processing time. Just hope that none of our applications fall in that category, where there is more review required or more documents required etc.

Be positive everyone! Wish everyone gets their COPR soon! Not just CEC, FSW and PNP too!
 
does this mean FSW inland applications are also on hold ? I applied when I didn't have one year of Canadian experience under FSW category but I have 1 year of canadian experience now and I am inland :(

No, not at all. My application was already approved in August 2020. Till now I am still waiting for the COPR.

One thing to add is, if your VO is Ottawa, you are in freaking bad luck.

I would say yours is coming soon. They said they are clearing backlogs so yours should be on the top of the pile. Just a matter of time before you will post "GOT COPR" message here.

I really hope it will come soon. But what I am really sick of is waiting for almost 6 months after the approval (shown on GCMS notes) and seems like there is no end. I have a friend who also applied in Feb 2020 (3 weeks later than mine) and got hers this Monday.

There you go. She got hers this Monday. Your day isn't far.

I'll be the first one to like when you post "GOT COPR" message. Be positive. This year will bring good, unlike last year.

Sorry to say this buddy but dont be over positive about IRCC processing...its good to see everything with positivity but the facts show that not worth when it comes to IRCC..honestly canadians doesnt trust when it comes to government related processing because of how outdated the system is not just for IRCC even the other stuff..
I mean u can see all their promises about priortizing based on AOR and then making calls for biometrics (again based on AOR) and im not sure about files being approved but no COPR amd recieving approval email but no portal login pr COPR processing details....most of the ppl in.the forum from jan-May and under CEC have straight foward applications but yet left behind and ppl from early jul-sep seeing their COPR's..
