Thank you for caring others. I am May 1st, 2019 applicant. There are no updates in my application except these 3. We received your application for PR May 01, 2019 : Acknowledging receipt of your application on August 31, 2019 : We started processing your application on August 30, 2019. No request for medicals. No updates. Nothing. Have a dependent (wife) outside Canada. Totally frustrated.
Exactly same here june 2019 applicant, i hope they start process applications been waiting for almost 2 years ,,

Not true. I am in Montreal and my friend is waiting since July 2020 for this plastic card.
Tell your friend to resend the photos if it's more than 6 months. Lots of people on this forum I put down there got their card from the Montreal office in 2-3 months, including @adbcca
Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

So I called IRCC today. my application is finalized and decision was made, but I have to wait for an update in my profile..My application will be finalized in Etobicoke hence I'm gonna wait forever for my PR card lol no web portal for me :) anyway, good news, but I'm surprised why its taking almost a month for them to update my profile ( the decision was made on March 16 (right after I got a ghost update)so I can at least apply for a normal SIN?!!?!?!?!?!?? I think they are waiting for my bar to reach 100%..

Congratulations!! I happy for you !! When was the last time you called them? I had a ghost update 3 weeks ago and one 2 weeks ago and one last week. I called them yesterday (since my bar is 100% April 7) Andthey said security hasn’t started yet :(

Thank you :) But I still cannot open a bottle of champagne until I get a COPR lol
I called them 20 minutes ago.. before that I called them in the beginning of March and they told me that the security hasn't been started.. So I can make a conclusion that if in the beginning of March they haven't started a security check, and on March 16th they made a decision - my security check was done within the two weeks.. But its just my assumption. Three days ago I ordered CBSA notes again, so probably I can say something more clear after reviewing them..
