Update: I got my passport back today with no stamping as expected. I have an interview scheduled for Aug 15th as well. Do you know why they refuse Dropbox and call for interviews for PRs when we are eligible for Dropbox?

By Ghost update, I mean it said the case was updated but the status remained the same.

Not sure, I was on F1 visa before and had CPT. Maybe due to do.
However, i was able to get a date for June 20. Let's see how that will turn out : )

Me too, I was on an F1 visa before. Then, I got my H1B status approved in US. I had to land in Canada last May to complete the PR paperwork.
Now, I think my application will be refused as well like you, even if according to their website we should be eligible for an interview waiver

How did you get a date of June 20, did you keep checking the appointment calendar? For my view, all June and July dates are full.
How were you able to an appointment for June 20?
For me all dates were disabled, only june 20 was showing. Also, I applied from halifax, maybe that's why.
Was anyone able to find an earlier appointment date in June or July in Toronto?

Out of curiosity: when you submitted your documents, did you also submit the passport that includes your OLD F1 visa stamp??

No, I did not. That passport is expired. On my new passport I had b1b2 stamped (from Canada).
I just received my passport back and I see green stick note on my passport and pink on my spouse's. Any idea what that means? Also, there is a note on my b1b2 that says
on't cancel b1b2 visa:
I am confused now.
