Expired CoPR - Inland CEC PR - Could not Land due to COVID-19

[GwenFayeth]

I'm a CEC inland PR applicant. I got my CoPR 7 months ago and my in-person landing appointment in Canada got cancelled due to COVID-19.
My CoPR expired yesterday. I have a work permit expiring in a few months. I've reached out to IRCC multiple times in the last 7 months desperately begging for a PR landing or some sort of solution, but they don't advise me anything new.
I have not been contacted by them to reschedule my appointment or to finalize my PR landing. I can't apply for jobs and cannot travel out of Canada. I'm caught in a limbo and don't know what to do.
Anyone else in this situation?

Just pinging it.

If you're currently in Canada, give IRCC a call directly. Explain over the phone that you're already within Canada, on a work permit expiring soon. I've seen CEC Inland applicants who received their COPR recently say that they just received a call from IRCC with the CoPR immediately afterwards.

I already have my CoPR, which has expired. So it's really the validation of my PR status and the last step that's been on hold for 7 months. I called IRCC today and they said they cannot advise me anything at this point and I should just wait for them to contact me. They said hopefully they will be able to pick back up the waiting applications until the end of this year. Not a very bright outlook unfortunately.
I've seen some people on this forum who got their CoPR 4 months after me and they already got approval of PR and waiting for their PR card. I was dealt a bad hand it seems.

@GwenFayeth I am in the same situation like you as inland applicant with CoPR issued in end Feb and expired in May. I called IRCC multiple times and submitted multiple web forms. Got the response that needs to wait and nothing else I can do. Meanwhile I did raise an urgency in one of the webform that I need to travel urgently and the ticket got forwarded by the hotline to the responsible office. Let's connect so that we can keep in sync of the situation.
