Hi! I received eCoPR on January 17th. It is almost 2 months and I am still waiting for my initial PR card. I sent webforms and called IRCC but my application is still in the process. A guy at client support centre said IRCC understood it is beyond processing time so they will work on my card as soon as possible...
PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)
- Thread starter student777
- Start date
Same ecopr date. No update on my file since 18 jan. Let me know if u get any update.
This is so frustrating... I start thinking of contacting local MP if there is no update this week.
I am planning to go back to my country this June so I have to have the card before I leave. I asked IRCC whether I am eligible to send an urgent request and they said first PR cards are already considered urgent so there is no urgent procedure for new PRs.
From what I've picked up from this forum, I think it means your photo is approved and your card has been sent for production. The trend I observed was that most people received the final approved & mailed update for the pr card 7-10 days after that first GU. That was my case as well. I received that first GU on the 14th and the approved and mailed today, and many people above in the forum seem to follow a similar pattern
When you get the first GU, it means the card is sent for production(this will happen only when it is approved), the status on gc key still shows submitted.
When you get the second GU, the status on gc key also changes to Approved and you see the message - pr cards mailed.
The next day you get an email as well, that your application has changes.
Card receipt time is not seen to be consistent, it varies from 2 days to 2 weeks.

What's this PR card approval? We are still in approval or rejection after we get the eCoPR again? Isn't it if we get the eCoPR we are all set and just need to wait to receive the card??
Usually they give multiple attempts to re-upload the photos in the portal if the photo is rejected. I am not sure about the No of attempts before they reject the PR card application and a new PR card application has to be raised.
eCOPR means you are now Permanent resident of Canada.
PR card is required for an individual to travel outside and return back to Canada.
PR card application approval depends on photo upload and should be as per IRCC specifications to be approved.
Have been ghosting in the forum for months and think i'd better off with my first and last contribution with my timeline:

For me it took 12 days, post upload, I suggest waiting for a week more. If it is urgent, you can reach out to them with travel plans on the same email id that you received the credentials from.Hello everyone!!

Hello Everyone,
can you suggest what’s the best way to get Photographs as per IRCC guidelines? We did everything as per instructions but today got a note that photo is of incorrect size and/or facial area too small/big.
Is it better to get it done by a professional or is there a software that you used and it worked?

Get it done by a professional who are well aware of how crucial it is to get a correct photograph. Tell them that it's for PR process and they will help u through
