SUCCESS!!
Got my
PR Card!! Posting this update after a while. Here's my timeline:
AOR - 10th November 2020
IRCC Client Portal email - 4th July. Sent the confirmation, filled out the details and attached the photo the same day.
Additional Information email update - From VLU Ottawa on 7th July. Applied - for Option A and filled out the necessary information the same day.
PR Confirmation Portal (OLD) - 7th July. The login credentials didn't work. Contacted the IRCC over email (Client Portal), Webform and Phone for 2 weeks. The same generic response over phone - "You just gotta wait for the new credentials" Over email and webform - no response.
PR Confirmation Portal (NEW) - 26th July. I got the new login credentials. This time I was able to login, submitted my confirmation, entered my mailing address and uploaded the photo. I made a mistake in the postal code.
eCOPR Update: Approved on 28th July (Virtual Landing Unit, Operations Support Centre)
Update email from IRCC to revise my address postal code - 29th July. But, photo got approved.
Update on my CIC account - 29th July.
PR Card Arrived - 13th August from CPC Sydney, Nova Scotia. Address as of today still under review. Didn't matter to get the PR card.
