I visited them and got to know for COPR requests, IRCC NY is now taking 2 to 3 months to process.

Oh my god! Today, I got an update in my express entry profile. I see a letter mentioning that sticker is affixed on my passport. I don't know what that means.

 

[NAGiant]

I received the Accompany letter from IRCC in the portal. How much time it will take from here to get the passports?

 

[rammani]

You should mostly be getting it in a few days but max by 1 week

May I know what the IRCC agent said?

IRCC executive mentioned that there is a huge backlog of applications. He suggested me to create a webform with a valid reason for expediting the processing. My employment start date is March 18th, so I created a webform attaching the offer letter. Maybe because of that they approved it immediately.

It seems people havent posted for a while here so I am assuming processing times have sped up. my time line
passport sent April 9
passport recieved by VFS April 15 (courier delay)
passport received and under process IRCC april 18
counterfoil message in IRCC and dispatched back to VFS April 19....

will update as it will be probably shipped on monday. but this is is relatively quick compared to what i'm reading here, so if anyone reads this maybe your case may be quick like mine. good luck folks
