Hi every one! Quick question from the inland applicants who just became PR. What are some of the "must do" things after changing status to a permanent resident? Should the driver's license be updated as well?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe you had done it but just heads up, SIN, health card, bank accounts, driver licence, payroll. For the driver licence you will be told to update it once the present one expires.

Hi I submitted my application on Jan 2020, and received PR on July 2020. I'm currently applying for Citizenship, today I received an email to take my fingerprints and to bring my CoPR to do so, but I can't remember if I ever received such a letter.

On the CiC portal I do see there is a section called "Document Status" that lists my CoPR # which has expired.

In the messages section, I received an "Information Letter" for the day my PR was approved. In that letter, it says the following content that makes me believe that I never received a CoPR document and this "Information Letter" is a replacement. And if I did have I had to send it in the apply for my PR card. Does anyone have any idea if this is the case? Note I also already have my PR card. Thanks!

Hello. I believe this letter/pdf is your COPR (or electronic COPR). I got PR in October 2020 and I received something similar (the text is a little different, but basically the same message). If I'm not mistaken, this was the procedure for PR applicants from inside Canada (so there was no need to flagpoling during covid pandemic).

Also remember, this was before they created the Resident Permanent Portal (probably the idea was already in mind, but the website was not ready).

Ok, that makes sense because I save everything and I don't think I could lose something this important.

As for the FP, I called the Commisionaries company before coming in. THey only need the PR Card, and another piece of ID. I had a drivers license. So all good now.

I suppose its a generic letter for FP request that may not apply to everyone. o_O

Don't know how eCOPR looked like in 2020 or what rules were around it. Nowadays its usually after getting golden email and completing portal one gets an email to download eCOPR within 30 days from portal after which it will disapper and to retain it for citizenship.

This morning I got the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). Not sure if that means approved or immigration is still deliberating decision? Can someone advice the actions/wait from hereon please?

Pr is approved. Congratulations
Thanks! Hopefully its not another 6 months of silence. I see different responses in the forum such as one quoted below.

"Getting rprf used to mean you were close to getting PR but now it is part of the 2nd officer check after the completeness check. I got rprf fee request in October, it is now 4 months later and after seeing GCMS notes I see that the rfpr fee was noted missing, along with some other documents and review was required. So unfortunately it doesn't always mean Pr is on the way, it is just part of their process."
