Finally, my application was approved just hour ago.
I will share my experiences and I hope you can get some ideas.

My AOR is in July 2nd and from Toronto.

Eligibility
  • March 18, 2021
Medical results
  • August 24, 2020
Biometrics
  • November 9, 2020
Background check
  • March 4, 2021
Final decision
  • March 18, 2021

Until just now, these categories were all in progress even eligibility.
I had a GU March 4 and 5th which was the last GU. I have not seen any GU since.
I called CIC on March 11 th, they said my application is finalizing. so it takes about a week for the finalizing.
I called this morning as well, they said the decision has made. However, the website said the decision has made today. so there is some time lags.

Thanks everyone for posting here, I check this forum all the time.
This waiting situation has been and still is really stressful and at times depressing.
I wish you the best of luck!!
Hey Leo, when did you receive the confirmation letter via email to send your photo?

Has anybody got email with subject: Update on IRCC processing capacity for your Economic Class – Canadian Experience Class (EE) application from IRCC? I don’t understand why I should expect longer delays? I don’t have any issues with my application identified in gcms notes other than medicals are expired.

@caipsnotes thank you for responding. The agent yesterday told that the application is in progress. I am not sure what that means when all the parts of PR application are status quo since Sep 2020 like eligibility is still showing Recommend Pass not in progress, Security is Not started. I am not understanding what should I interpret with application is in progress when actually there is no progress.

Do you know how long does visa officer takes to conclusively pass the eligibility?
Hi. Each application is different and it's hard to say how long, particularly these days with COVID delays
