My eligibility is marked complete during the previous week. No eCOPR yet though, and the number hasn't shown up on the tracker.

Any updates on your part ? my background check is still saying in progress and nothing has changed…. I’m especially worried cause now online it says the processing time is 26 months for QUEBEC PEOPLE….

Quebec has put in place a cap for spousal sponsorship. This is why the processing time has jumped to 26 months.

How will the IRCC handle this cap is important as AIP letter (if I remember correctly) provides additional benefits to those who wait (for example it allows no hassle RAMQ application which is essential)

So if they just freeze any processing - this is bad. If they will delay COPR, then this can be coped with.

How can we know that we didn’t make it to the cut for example ? If I applied in December and I already have given everything in February. And since April the only thing left that’s not completed is the background check that says « in progress »…. Does it really mean that I’m waiting 2 freaking years for this ?????
I’m kinda regretting doing this cause I thought it would be faster than doing it after graduating from university but now…

There's no way to find out where you are in the queue. There are people from early last year who have everything completed (including background check) and are still waiting for the actual visa. I think it is best to assume that they will give visas FIFO (first in, first out). Yes, this means you should be expecting the 2+ year wait for your approval.

does it take as long if I decide to do a seperate PR request but using my post diploma work permit ? Since they are starting this new law that people that just graduated don’t have to work two years before applying for the PR and can do it directly?

Is that a new Quebec program? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that program and cannot comment.

it’s with the PEQ (programme d’expérience du Quebec), and they said that apparently now you don’t have to work two years before applying for that (obviously depending on the program you did, numbers of hours studying and etc). It’s okey thank you for your help

I don't know the processing times for that program. Maybe someone else will comment on that.

Nope. The consensus is the cap that CAQ has put on Quebec immigration.
