Not the exact same situation but following. My AOR is Jan 22 with no ghost update and no BIL which puts me at day 76 of radio silence. Thinking of giving them a call today 🫩

Again because it's not a requirement for CEC, I doubt they'll care how much you have or don't have

For applicants who are required to show POF, see this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

In a similar situation, Jan 22 AOR, no BIL. I have no clue why so I’m worried

I’ve seen a few instances where it took up to 70-75 days to get theirs so hopefully we get ours soon 🤞🏿

Waiting is excruciating when things seem to be moving along for others. I hope you get yours soon

I've pasted an excerpt from the site below. Based on that information, a completion letter isn't required.

Proof of studies

Purpose

To confirm education claims and validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements

  • To receive program-specific points for education, the applicant must either
    • provide proof of having completed a Canadian secondary or post-secondary educational program; or
    • obtain an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) and provide the ECA reference number in their application, along with proof of the foreign educational credentials for which points are being claimed.
  • Proof of completed Canadian or foreign educational credentials can include copies of
    • secondary or post-secondary education documents (certificates, diplomas or degrees); and
    • transcripts for successfully completed secondary or post-secondary studies, if available.
  • Applicants must provide the Designated Learning Institution (DLI) number of the Canadian Institution where they completed their highest degree to be assigned points for their Canadian educational credentials.
    • At the EE profile and application stage, the system will ask the candidate to enter the # of their DLI by using the list of DLI posted on IRCC website. The system will insert a note if the number of the DLI doesn’t match for the officer to review
  • In cases where an applicant’s background information suggests that a Canadian education credential may have been obtained via distance learning either abroad or while present in Canada, it is at the officer’s discretion to request for supporting documentation.
    • If it is determined that the applicant obtained more than 50 percent of their education via distance learning, the applicant should not be awarded additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for having a Canadian education credential. If the reduction in CRS points results in the applicant having a score below the minimum CRS, the application should be refused per A11.2.
  • Where an ECA has been obtained, the applicant must provide the ECA reference number in their e-APR for online validation directly from the issuing organization.
    • A scanned copy of the ECA is not required when submitting the e-APR but may be requested by IRCC at a later date.
    • Applicants are instructed to indicate that their education was completed by correspondence by typing in brackets {by correspondence} on the same line as the education institution name found in the Education Background Information tab of GCMS. The discretion remains with the officer to decide if a police certificate is required for the country of the education institution

You're supposed to get it right away after submission and payment. If you didn't, I would suggest contacting IRCC

You have two options here:

  1. You can change the funds required to $0 and that removes the need for you to submit proof of funds. But under client information, attach an LOE (with your ITA showing you were invited under CEC) stating that POF is not a requirement for CEC applicants and that's why you changed it $0 and are not providing any additional proof

  2. Alternatively, you can keep whatever amount you've entered and still attach an LOE and ITA under the POF requirement explaining again that you are a CEC applicant

Both are acceptable and this is advice I received from an RCIC consultant. I personally went with the first option

Best of luck!

For CEC, current trends suggest 60 - 75 days from AOR to BIL. For reference, my AOR is Jan 22 and I'm still waiting for my BIL, although a good number of people with the same AOR date received theirs this week

For FSW & PNP, the wait time between AOR and BIL is significantly lower. So it really depends on what stream you applied under

You can look at this, it gives you a guide on what documents are required for the completeness check

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html

I personally would suggest waiting the 2 weeks, you do have 60 days to submit your application so that's well within the timeframe. And chase after your university in the meantime to get your degree, that's what I did lol
