Silent reader here, but since I got my COPR, I thought I would share my timeline
FSW single applicant from Poland, processing visa office was Ottawa, COPR issued in Warsaw, Poland
AOR 4th October
Medicals passed: October 31st
Eligibility Reviewed: 14th November
Background check: November 20th
Biometrics: November sometime (I don't remember exactly)
No ghost updates since November
Called and emailed IRCC a few times between February and May - standard replies, nobody was able to tell me anything, they said background checks took longer than expected etc. Last reply was May 18th, still not giving any details
PPR: June 3rd
Passport copies delivered to Warsaw Office: June 6th
Profile Updated/COPR returned: June 12th, also my old eTA was cancelled and I was automatically issued a new one for 5 years today.
Even though I wasn't active on this forum, thanks to everybody for their input, I got a great amount of useful information here.
Now I have a single question to ask. I'm planning to live in Vancouver, BC but my best connecting flight is via Montreal, QC. Can I do the 'landing' at YUL airport during my connection and continue to Vancouver on a domestic flight? I will be providing a BC address for my PR card to arrive and I'm moving in with my brother in Vancouver, not even planning to exit the airport in Montreal.
Thank you and good luck everybody, my application took exactly 8 months and I know the wait is killing everybody but I'm sure you guys will all get it soon!
