Surprisingly, I got portal email at 5.30PM EST on Friday. Keep your expectation low guys, you will be more happy when it comes.
Here is my timeline, it took exactly 3 months (Mar 17th - June 16th)
CEC - Inland Nova Scotia - Montreal IRCC
AOR: Mar 17th
Biometric: Mar 25th
Medical: Exempted Mar 25th -> Requested to redo on May 8th -> Did exam on Jun 1st -> Passed on Jun 9th
Eligibility: In progress Apr 19th -> Completed Jun 2nd (Tracker)
Background: In progress (tracker) Apr 19th -> In progress (GCKey) Jun 15th -> Completed (Tracker) Jun 15th.
Final decision: In progress Jun 15th
Portal Email: Jun 16th.
For documents, I submitted exactly what they ask in GC Key without any optional documents.
For the job in my original country, I provided a reference letter (no date on the letter) + hr manager visit card + the last 3 pay slip + original contract.
For the job in Canada, my employer give me a reference letter and I included my tax slip + last 3 pay slips.
It went smoother than I expected, the company didn't receive any call from ircc nor did they request any additional documents.
