Pleasant surprise. No update on my GC Key but my PR card came in the mail today.

Hey question for you - did IRCC ask for your passport and pictures? If so, when?

I am just keeping track of people who recently received their PR card and how long it took after their medical was done.

Thanks.

If in Canada, IRCC will only need a photo and mailing address confirmation. When my PR got approved, IRCC emailed letters to me and my dependants. Since I was in Canada, IRCC also sent me a portal email to upload my passport photo and confirm my mailing address. Once this was done, it took about 7 days to receive my COPR - this included the weekend.
Whereas for my family, since they were outside Canada, the Canadian High Commission at my home country required passport photos and their passports. Within a week of receiving these documents, IRCC issued them their COPRs - their passports are embedded with the COPR, it looks like a visa, but they also received COPR letters.
Note, PR cards will be issued only when in Canada. Applicants with approved PRs will receive their PR cards once they are in Canada. If outside Canada, they will receive their COPRs which will allow them entry into the country.

I would say, if you are in Canada, give it about a month or less between the time you receive your COPR and your PR card.

Hope I have answered your question.

Good afternoon to you all, Please has anyone received COPR from Etobicoke Visa Office lately? I have provided all the requested documents for well over a month now and I am yet to get any information from them.

I provided documents in January 2022, since then there is no update
 
Dear fellow applicants, I have received PPR on 16 August 2022 and DM on ECAS on the next day. Best wishes for all of those waiting for final decision. My timeline is in my signature. Thanks a lot. This group has been very helpful throughout the journey.
 
Hi all, is schedule A background and declaration form always the last adr requested by ircc before approving PR? It seems like that’s usually the last form the ask for? I got a request to fill the form and re do my medicals which I have, I just want to know what the trend is. Please advise

Really depends on what they need from you and when.

Hey,

There are a few people in this thread who did their medical in July/August, read their signatures under.
