1. AOR: March 9th
2. Biometrics: October 12th (was exempted, this is the date when they were updated on my profile)
3. I got a ghost update on Nov 12th. Later I learned that this is the day my criminality check was completed (and hence the background check was completed on that day, and I was waiting for my final decision).
4. I got an email last Friday (Nov 20) asking me about the email address I want to use for them to make an account for me on the new portal.
5. Monday (Nov 23): they made the profile for me. I had to declare my address in Canada and upload a picture for the PR card. I uploaded the documents the next day.
6. Today (Nov 26): My address got approved and my CoPR was uploaded on the portal
I am still waiting for them to approve my photo and send me the PR card.
One thing I noticed is that the agent who signed my CoPR seems to be the same one who digitally signed the email that was sent to me in step 4. So I am speculating that the agent responsible for a case have to send that initial email (to invite you to the portal) themselves.
