May i know from which office the letter has been sent ? is it from consulate in Brazil ?

From Vancouver. Her file was in Mexico City but transferred to Vancouver sometime this year.

Whats your visa office and did you inform IRCC if your parents are in canada currenly ?

Mexico City originally, now in Vancouver. I had not informed them before that my mom was here, but in the doc they sent me they said to inform via webform so she could do virtual landing. Now I'm waiting for instructions on how to do that. Hopefully soon.

Today I received eCoPR document to download in PR portal for my mother. Do anyone know what are the next steps? Can we use this document to apply for health card or first do we have to go to immigration office for some kind of in person signature etc?

That is the COPR to be used in the lifetime.
You can go to apply SIN card and health card but depending upon the province of residence they may need other documents like PR Card.
She has to wait for PR card from mail.

AOR is the first letter received from the IRCC that contains the application number. Most of June 14 applications have AOR of Oct 23, 2019.

Congrats !! did you send the passport and photos for the stamping ?

I wasn't asked to send the passport. I received the portal link right after the approval email and I just uploaded the photo on it.

** I used my email all through out this application because I know my mom does not check her emails (as evidenced with the VFS email). Her email only came into play when she emailed her PP to Accra and by then it was too late to update.

I am sooooo happy that I fail to properly express my joy.

Sorry in advance for any typo or grammatic error. I'm off to go drink zobo
