Edit: I can't emphasize the importance of transparency in this process. After all, I passed my eligibility and security on the same day (Dec 02, 2020) after my file got stuck at the recommended pass stage for a few days. It took them 2 months to acknowledge my application + 2 months for an agent to review my documents to mark them as recommended pass + 1 month in the queue for an officer to pick it up from queue to mark my eligibility and security as passed on the same day + 1 month for the local visa office to send me a damn template email. 6 months for a straightforward application which was mostly processed in one day. It just spent a long time in the queue when some lucky candidates got their applications picked in a timely manner. I hope IRCC makes this system more transparent.
Thats very reassuring to me. My eligibility has been stuck on recommended pass since Oct 1. Hopefully I can get both eligibility and security passed on the same day.

Yes it is possible to pass all 3 stages in a single day, but I don't know if they are really understaffed, also if they are using computer systems then how the files are going out of the queue
I got my COPR yesterday, bit of a different process from what I've read in this forum. I got a call from the Kitchener IRCC – PR Card Photos office and the agent asked me a few questions like when did I first land in Canada and to confirm my address. He then issued my COPR letter through the CIC portal and requested I mail a photo with the letter to the Kitchener office for my PR card.

Congratulations! Yes, that’s completely normal. That’s the first process back in June 2020 (when they started issuing ng COPRs directly), that IRCC came up with when they cancelled the landing requirement for in-Canada applicants due to covid.
