Hi,
CEC inland with 3 inland dependents, living in Vancouver area. Just received COPR document yesterday.
-- never had any ghost updates
-- do not know which VO was working with my application
-- AOR July 6
-- medicals passed Aug 26
-- biometrics Oct 13
-- later in October we received a message that we needed to pay the PR holder fee (didn't pay that at the time of documents submission), so I think that's the time when our eligibility was under review. But eligibility status in the account (as well as everything else) hadn't changed until the very end.
-- Feb 18 we called IRCC (never called before). They said that all stages were passed but there was no final decision yet.
-- Feb 19 application shows as approved in the account with CORP #, but no COPR document yet. No update on email, just checked the account and the information about the approval was there. Also at that time background check started to show as completed on Jan 30
-- Feb 20 update about the approval on email
-- Feb 22 another update and COPR document available for download in account
