As per IRCC's 2019 annual report the avg. processing time for FSW was 9 months and CEC was 7 months. And this was pre-COVID.I have checked other forums and was shocked to know that there are applicants who submitted as late as February still no response from CIC. So if it got beyond 6 months it's their new normal I presume. It's crazy others got their PR in less than 6 months while others go way beyond! Christmas is just around the corner so will expect more delays..

Good morning, I have read that quite a few people have received their COPR from outland. I might be wrong.And what makes you think they favor outland applicants compared to inland?
I think it might be with the VO. Most of the CEC applications are in VO-Ottawa and it turn to be slowest. The Outland applications approved from VO-Sydney. Unless the officers in Ottawa started working on CEC there wont be any improvement...Good morning, I have read that quite a few people have received their COPR from outland. I might be wrong.
There are may CEC from July and August got approved from Ottawa too. But I agree that Ottawa is much slower compared to Sydney.I think it might be with the VO.

Thanks @Gurk04 - Inland? CEC?One of my friends aor june 30 received copr on nov 30, biometrics were done last year.
My friend my primary VO is sydney and secondary Ottawa, but haven't seen any movement for more than a month. I think they both are same, specifically my eligibility is recommended pass for 3 months now but no officer have even touched it and I am about to complete my 6 months mark. timeline in signatureThere are may CEC from July and August got approved from Ottawa too.

@legalfalcon can we travel to Canada once COPR is approved and you have a job to start, have a quartine plan.
What that means, could you please elaborate?Only if you are exempt from travel restrictions.
Based on the PPRs issued recently, Sydney is much faster than Ottawa for outland. My eligibility is passed by an agent at Sydney and no movement at all once it was moved to Ottawa. My criminality is not started even though I finished biometrics in August.My friend my primary VO is sydney and secondary Ottawa, but haven't seen any movement for more than a month.

Just google travel restrictions and see if you are allowed to travel. If not, you will have to wait until the restrictions are lifted.What that means, could you please elaborate?
I’m still waiting for my damn biometrics to update to completed, which they haven’t, so despite being exempt I booked in to SC and getting them done (again) tomorrow.There are may CEC from July and August got approved from Ottawa too. But I agree that Ottawa is much slower compared to Sydney.
