I finally received my ecopr. Photo is still in review but my address is accepted. I downloaded my ecopr and changed my sin number and applied the health card. One question, eventhough i still have not received my pr card yet, am I permanent resident officially ? Because i changed my sin number as permanent one and applied to health card

What it means photo is in review ? Once you have received COPR does it not mean all is complete ? Or Iam missing out something here ? Pls advice

eCopr means its digital version and you can use it until your pr card comes. Pr card is physical one. When you get ecopr, it doesn’t mean that you get your physical pr card at the same time.

We are still waiting our physical pr cards. We received our eCopr so are we permanent resident right, eventhough we have not received our pr cards yet ?

Hi All,
PR Confirmation e-mail - Sept 13, 2022 (Replied the same day)
Email with PR Portal credentials - Sept 13, 2022
Photo & Address upload to PR Portal - Sept 14, 2022
eCoPR generation date - Pending
PR Card received - Pending
VO - VLU OTTAWA

I was hoping if anyone from OTTAWA has received their eCoPR or PR card this year, please share. It has been such a struggle to keep waiting for more than 4 months. Is there something I could do? Appreciate any advice.

I found this thread helpful so I am sharing my info to add to the data points:
PR Confirmation e-mail - (Calgary office) Dec 21, 2022 (Replied the same day)
Email with PR Portal credentials - Jan 6, 2023 (Declaration, address, and photo uploaded same-day)
Both mailing address and photo are still in review with IRCC.
Have not received eCOPR / PR card as of today.
I called IRCC's general inquiries line and was told that they did not have any information on how long this step of the PR process will take -- essentially they were suggestion I need to wait it out.
I also need to travel for work internationally in March. I plan to use my visa, which expires end of next year, for re-entry.

I may be mistaken, but once you become a PR (even if you have not received your PR Card), your previous visa(s) are no longer valid.

Suggest you wait for others to comment.

I think you have a good point. My visa should be valid for now, but it may change once I receive the eCoPR. Can someone with a eCoPR comment on whether the eCoPR or accompanying documents explicitly declares other Canadian visas/permits invalid/cancelled?

My rationale is: 1) If IRCC considers that I am PR, I should be allowed to enter as a PR, and 2) if IRCC considers that I am not PR, my TRV should remain valid and I should be allowed to enter as a temporary resident. Correct me if I am wrong, but it does not make sense that having an approved PR application should make me less admissible to Canada.

The airline should allow me to board to plane to Canada because I have a valid (i.e. not-expired) visa in my passport.

My back up plans are to apply for a PR travel document at my destination country, or travel through the USA-Canada land boarder in the worse-case scenario.

Of course, the most ideal situation is that I receive the PR card before departure.

This is the LOGICAL explanation. The IRCC rationales are far from that :) But I hope you're right.
