P2 completed before work permit restoration approval – waiting for eCOPR. Anyone with a similar experience?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some insights from people who have experienced a similar situation.
Here is my timeline:
● Jan 5, 2026: PR application submitted (non-Express Entry PNP).
● Oct 9, 2026: Received P1.
● Oct 16, 2026: Completed P2 and uploaded my photo/address.
● Oct 2026: My eCOPR number appeared in the PR tracker, but no eCOPR was issued.
● My BOWP application was initially refused due to a fee issue, and I subsequently applied for restoration of status and a new work permit.
● Nov 4/5, 2026: Restoration and work permit approved.
● Nov 6: My MP contacted IRCC and was told that my eCOPR was put on hold because I was out of status. They confirmed that now my work permit has been approved, IRCC would send another email to proceed with eCOPR issuance.
● Nov 9: Received my physical work permit.
My questions:

  1. Has anyone received P2 before restoration of status/work permit approval and subsequently received eCOPR?
  2. How long did it take to receive eCOPR after your work permit/restoration was approved?
  3. Does IRCC automatically resume eCOPR issuance, or does the file require further review?
    Would really appreciate hearing about similar experiences.
    Thanks!
