COPR and coronavirus

[Tahhi]

Thanks for the words. I just got notification that my decision envelope has been dispatched. It seems every time I loose patience and post here, i receive a response on this website. Strange coincidence.

Congratulations! Very happy it was smooth.

Did the status on your account CiC change yet ?

Hello everyone, does anyone know how long it takes for PR visa stamping from Lagos VFS?
Thanks.

If you request for an appointment, they will call you in 2 business days however some cases have gone past the 2 days. You don't have the luxury to choose appointment time and date online. So for someone only here for a few days...wouldn't work.

If you apply online, you will need an address for them to mail your SIN. Again wouldn't work for me. I can give them my niece's address but there are many cases of identity theft in North America and UK. Something we rarely, infact I have never seen or heard of a case in Australia. My concern is not my niece, it's the fear of the mail man/woman either locally(when service canada mail my SIN to my niece) or internationally(when my niece posts to me) opening my mail to check contents. For PR card I don't mind, I can easily replace plus difficult for someone to use but SIN? I can't be in Australia minding my business only to find out someone has been flexing with my SIN in Canada or I might not even find out for a long time. It will be a nightmare fighting it when you are not in the country.

Documents used for my walk in was passport and COPR original. They will give you a slip/form and ask you to complete. Questions in the form includes your parents names, your address(i don't have a permanent address but the customer sevice guy advised I put down my temporary address, so I used my hotel address), phone number (advised to leave blank as I do not have a Canadian number). He asked for my email address and emailed me some info re protecting your SIN. Handed me a piece of paper with my SIN and I was on my way.

I got there at 9 and left at 11:16. My advise if you are doing walk in is get there at 8.30am. The queue was still crazy the second time but I got there a bit early which worked out fine.

Just saw this! Many thanks for the advice.
So no point trying to get an appointment then. Might have to do it the next time Im in Canada if I cant do it in the 4 days Im there.
Cool. Thanks

Hi All,

I have a friend coming in from Zambia next week since he received his COPR. However, he will only be staying in Canada for a month initially before he has to return back home for personal reasons. He is a little concerned that he may not receive the PR card in the mail in time. What options does he have to get around this situation?

Thats fantastic. Congratulations again. Did you receive any mail update for the status change in your account ?
Which date had AUH received the passports for process? Just to keep track of my timeline too.

Bit of advice here please

I have a message in my account to upload the passport. I remember many earlier had also received a similar request. Request is only under primary applicant.

But all our passports are at the VO right now.

Is this going to be an issue?

I had the same message but saw it months later so, I missed the upload time frame. Nothing changed and it did not affect my application.
