There is really not much to add to what I've already mentioned in my previous post. He never requested GCMS notes, as his FSW-O application (with September 2020 AOR) moved forward very quickly. Biometrics center in his home country reopened only in December 2020, which seemed to be the main blocker for him. In two weeks after submitting biometrics, he got his COPR.

Just based on the data points from this website, it looks like the original reason of our applications being ignored by IRCC was not related to whether you were an FSW or a CEC applicant. It was about having AOR older than 6 months. But a few weeks ago IRCC acknowledged that they wouldn't be actively looking into FSW applications "until a further notice" (which doesn't sound encouraging, especially coming from IRCC, especially after a year of waiting
). While it looks like some older CEC cases (like yours) start getting attention, unfortunately, it is not the case for FSW. The fact that they've de-prioritized FSW-Inland applications indicates they don't understand the implications of being FSW-Inland (or, they simply don't care).While they aren't currently processing existing FSW applications, they still accept the new ones, so their backlog of FSW applications keeps growing. Who do you think will get priority once they start processing FSW again? No one knows, but based on their track record, I have a feeling it won't be older AOR dates. Re-applying afresh as CEC might be a fair game, considering that on average, processing times for recent CEC applications are within 4 months.
There are inland people waiting here since January February and there are lots of them...
I agree with you. I think they will just forget all applications of early 2020 until everything goes back to normal. Which I think it is not fair, but they should at least have the decency of saying it clearly and giving a tentative timeline. There are people that need to make life decision based on this.Just based on the data points from this website, it looks like the original reason of our applications being ignored by IRCC was not related to whether you were an FSW or a CEC applicant.

Can anyone please advise how many days it will take to get the Final decision once all steps are passed. Thanks!
Depends on VO and officer as I have too similar situation since Dec 9,2020 and awaiting for my confirmation email.
Did you can check whether your file has been moved to local visa office. The Agent told me once the Final Decision is Approved the file will move to local VO to issue the COPR. Till today, I thought once Criminality is passed immediately final decision will be Approved but look's like that's not case after looking into your time. Only god can understand IRCC no one else.
Well I have decided not to reach out to IRCC anymore, let them send the confirmation whenever they feel it's time. There is no set of standard process is what I have understood.
Another suggestion I was given from Call center is to send a webform every week as webform comments are entered into file and that info reaches to visa officer, like in my case as everything is done just a confirmation thing is pending so that may work.
Feel so sad that they seem ignoring March application , everything passed basing on gcms but hear nothing from them
, everything passed basing on gcms but hear nothing from themI am waiting since Oct 29th for a final decision. All stages passed, aor March 12th, cec Inland. Apparently, there are too many variables involved here and IRCC is not transparent at all. Definitely seems random.
