Congrats
Do you mind sharing your timeline
Sure but I don't have the exact dates for every step... just the main ones. Also want to note how simple the end process is now because of COVID. Simple phone call asked me if I'm in Canada, I said yes, she e-mailed me my CoPR. I went and got a new photo taken and mailed it with my CoPR to a place that's right here in Montreal a few miles away. They will process my PR card and send it to me within 45 days. Until then while I wait I can use my CoPR to apply for a health card, driver's license, social insurance number, etc;
So technically it's all over... but now the work of getting all that stuff begins for me. Already applied for my SIN and driver's license appointment. But I cannot for the life of me get on the phone with RAMQ. They automated system just keeps hanging up saying call volumes are too high and I tried the past 3 days.

I actually would of had my CoPR a month sooner, but I had a weird mishap with my travel history request. I requested my travel history from CBSA on August 18 the same day I got the request from IRCC. I didn't receive anything for 35 days and waited to contact them because it said it could take up to 30 days and sometimes extra because of COVID restrictions.
So I gave them a few extra days. Once I contacted them they claimed they already sent it a week after I requested it and mailed it to my house... but the address they had was the wrong house number (I didn't make that mistake, they did). I think they freaked out because it's illegal to send privacy documents to the wrong house. Because then I was then put in touch with the director of CBSA and she informed me that they do not mail travel history anymore during COVID. She said they e-mail it and I should have received it in e-mail a week after I requested it. (I never did and I don't miss any e-mails)
So she said she would have her staff resend the email, but then a few minutes later emailed me again saying "Actually I will do it myself." and apologized for the mishap, and attached my travel history directly to the email. She was very nice and I think covering up for the fact that they mailed my info to some stranger.
Basically -- If I would have contacted them right away I would've been able to submit travel history to IRCC on August 28 and gotten my CoPR a few days later. So you should account for that in your wait times as a June 2019 inland applicant I technically should of had CoPR by the end of August 2020.
But I'm glad it's all over and I just wanted to give some hope for those of you who applied around the same time and are still waiting. TRUST that you will get a response soon.
