Congratulations on your PR. I must admit you are one of the luckiest person with such short and smooth timeline. We have been waiting for months for each of the steps, along with bumps in between.

If your portal 2 email is late, please don't call IRCC asking for that as she says. You have to wait. It will take time. Most people now wait more than 2 months usually to receive the portal 2 email.

I have just 1 question i submitted my profile on 31 January and on feb 29 i received the bio metric and medical request and everything was updated on the portal on 2 april , does it mean that they have verified all the documents and i will receive the email soon or why does it takikg so long because in tracker i can see background verification is in progress but as you said if the bio metric and medical is done then i should have received it by now. Also i have applied from india express entry.

The reason I'm asking is because my employment is on hold because of ecopr. There are two options for me. Either wait for ecopr or apply for PGWP and start working on applied status of PGWP. I am unable to figure out what is the right thing to do. I need an idea of the maximum time it could take to get ecopr (in worst case scenario).

@@avsprakash9356 hey hoping u get it soon , this is what my aOR letter says , think yours should also be saying this If you are currently working in Canada on a work permit that is about to expire, and you meet all other requirements, you may use this letter to apply for a bridging open work permit. For more information, visit our our website. You are cautioned that if we reject your application for permanent residence as incomplete: • we will refuse your completed application for a bridging open work permit; and • your processing fees for a bridging open work permit will not be refunded , So I think bridging work permit would be the best way

Have my docs been processed and all IRCC is checking right now is my background ? 2. What would be expected timeline till I get my PR? 3.
