I wish I could say the same, however, I call bluff. Let's see how you feel in 3-4 months when there's no update in your account. It will psychologically brew like the aromas of freshly brewed coffee finding their way into your nose - except you can't touch it! I mean well, I hope we all get PR by Xmas - only 4 more days of processing time left.
Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

Waiting since November of 2021...
After contacting the MP office here's the update I received:
IRCC confirmed that all assessments made on my application have been finished and that the application is awaiting a final decision to be made.
But they don't provide a timeline for when they reach the final decision!

Why would they? They don't break down timelines between steps. I know it's annoying. I have PAL and all an officer needs to do is approve - but they will make us very painfully wait, because they can.
It's really annoying that your application is sitting on someone's desk when all the assessments are done and no outstanding documents are needed.
I hope we receive the approval in early Jan.
PAL doesn't mean all assessments have been done though. I received PAL and my Security hasn't even started yet as per the IRCC call center. I am not sure if it always remains as "Not Started" even if it's finished, but yeah.

Where do you see if it remains as "Not Started"?
Mine shows this:
Background check
- We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Everyone's is the same. It will be this way until the day you have approval.
How did you even get through the call centre? I've been calling every day and can't get through - I'd also like to know my VO and what steps.
As per this site, which I think is quite informative, says "on MyCIC account Background Check will change twice for most applicants. First it will change in the initial few weeks, and then go back to "Not Applicable" and later in the process again change to, "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." This happens because criminality check and security check are both a part of background check, and when these checks happen, the status changes. It will continue to be in progress the second time until you receive the COPR. In GCMS, usually Security does not show as "In Progress"; it will be "Not Started" or it will be blank if security screening is underway or completed. If Security is blank and you also see s15 then it's a strong indicator that Security screening is passed. If Security screening has passed then your application has either been approved or pending a final review before being approved".
So far, I haven't seen BGC in "not applicable" on my cic account. I plan to order GCMS notes when some 2 or 3 months of time has past, if I don't see any new updates on mycic account.
No Mr or ADR. I uploaded UMI of the medical exam in 2019 for study permit, but not medical passed yet. All the best！
Ah okay I see, yeah it's because of the new policy. You wont need a MR, they'll just use the old one
I've done the same, and uploaded the UMI of the Medical exam (from 2020), this is the status so far:
