hey guys, I'm new here.

I applied on July 7th and my process bar started counting. Estimated decision date being January 7th.
I have a super straightforward application. Canadian education, Canadian work experience, relatively young and background is all good with living in Canada for over 8 years at this point. I applied with a consultant. I am on PGWP right now which is valid till end of 2022.

I am going to need to go back home for some family matters in April and I am pretty worried that a decision won't be made by then. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Your application sounds pretty straightforward. Perhaps you'll get a decision this upcoming week. Good luck! Are you sure that you't can travel to your home country and return to Canada on your PGWP?

I hope so! Having no ghost updates kinda worries me.

Yes I did check the travel restrictions and I am pretty sure I can't travel back. Also, I would have to stay abroad about 3-4 months. So, I am not sure how all the restrictions would change by then. It would be really nice to get approved on my application so I can travel without worrying so much.

It looks like IRCC has made another step for COPR after approval or final decision

My application got approved on 27 Jan but no COPR yet, AOR July 7, anybody has idea how long it will take?
My AOR is July 8, 2020,good to see someone with an AOR close to mine get approved.

Your COPR to land is valid for a couple of months and expires, so you also have to watch out for that.

I would prefer to cancel all travels for now until PR is received. my application is also straight forward like yours but no idea when we expect to get PR
