Applied on 13 March. Submitted photo, mailing address and declaration after P2 on 7 Nov, still waiting for ecopr and PR card. Everything is in review with IRCC, it's been 20 days since the P2.

For the later March applicants I received P1 - Nov 20; P2 - Nov 28; Applied March 24.

I was also successful and linked the GC Key recently thanks to you all. It says Final Decision Nov 14 - still in process.

I believe at this point its waiting for ecopr? Would this be the document to use as proof its finalized while waiting for physical card since canada post is on strike?
I currently have a work visa is it true the ecopr will then replace the visa as long as I'm crossing the land border for travel and updating my job with the proper documentation?

It seems like they issue the eCOPR around the same time they mail the card? That’s helpful during the postal strike but it would be helpful to receive eCOPR sooner, otherwise what’s the point?

If you are asking about PR card, yes, you do not need the actual PR card to return to Canada via the land border in private car. You can use a print out of the eCOPR (and CBSA should have your record as well on their system that you are a PR),
I am not sure what kind of document you need for your job. But likely you will need an updated SIN and you don't need your PR card to get a permanent SIN.
Once you get the eCOPR, you are a PR of Canada and you do not need a work visa in order to work in Canada.

Probably not the best to travel across land border before eCOPR is uploaded? Sort of in this limbo between final decision with COPR details posted in tracker but before eCOPR is available. And the holidays are right around the corner.

Not a good idea before eCOPR.
