Jan 17, submitted online application for visitor's visa;
Mar 6, received email and downloaded the passport request letter from MyCIC;
Mar 7, sent out passport to the LA consulate using USPS priority;
Mar 15, received stamped passport in mail (self-stamped USPS priority).
Good luck to those who are still waiting!

I submitted my application online on January 17. (F1 student in the U.S.)
Also got two emails notifying about the "updates," one soon after the submission and the other about a week later, but nothing changed in MyCIC either time.
It still shows "OPEN" after nearly two months.
Absolutely horrid and incompetent.
