Hi guys, is there anyone waiting COPR with bio done OCT 1-20 and May Aor like me?

I am May 6 AOR and Bio exempted on 13 Oct... Everything is passed and waiting for the approval.

Inlander under CEC, my AOR is May 2nd and the biometrics was done on Oct 15th, no any update ever since.
Are we supposed to receive PPR first and then get CoPR?

Due to covid, they skipped the PPR / flag poling / landing interviews. It’s straight to COPR for inland applicants. You can search for posts in this forum. Inland applicants have been reporting receiving COPRs straight on their IRCC accounts / emails or both.

By the way, if security is blank (security: ), does that mean it is passed or not started?

Mine is assigned to RC-9515 but no updates since August (according to GCMS). I didn't even get the biometrics update on my profile yet. (exempt)

similar case, no update since from august 17, 2020.. not even bio update...
bio exempted, primary office Etobicoke

For foreign work experience, IRCC only wants a work reference letter that should meet the following:

a reference or experience letter from the employer, which

• should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
• should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits

IRCC can seek additional documents, like pay stubs, IT returns etc. However, if you were employed in Canada, you will also have to submit:

If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years])

As long as you meet the above, you are good.

Thanks a lot for your response, much appreciated

Got it. Thank you for the response.

Just called IRCC. And got the disappointing response, no updates on my file. Still the same as my signature.

She told me to expect update within 2-3 months when I asked about my biometrics update on profile (exempt).

How much time does criminality check takes as per the current trend?

Please note: I have already submitted RCMP check by my own on 10th Oct. I believe they will still do the check from their end.

Did you spoke with an actual agent or it was a system? I keep calling them, but hasn't been able to get to the agent even once for the last few weeks. Can't really understand why...

Keep trying, after calling dialing them
move forward with following keys: 1 1 2 2

Then hear the automated status message, then press 0.

I tried 5 times today, then was able to connect.

Good luck!
