Hey guys
My friend received her Pr portal yesterday and has to reply to the email for her and her dependents. However, her husband who is her dependent is not in canada right now and will be back in April. also , he already got is permanent residency in January from his application.
that fact that her dependent is not in canada ,Will this affect her pr? Will it cause a delay in receiving ecopr? Please What should she reply or how could she reply to that portal email?
You can reply to the very first PR email from inside or outside of Canada. You must answer each of the several questions first for yourself, and then again in the same email, for each of your dependents. This helps IRCC to understand if the primary applicant is in Canada and if they can proceed with the further landing steps (portal access, photo upload, mailing address confirmation, eCOPR, PR card, etc.) and what, if anything, they may need to do for dependents outside of Canada. If the main applicant is outside of Canada, they want to know when you expect to return. They will then pause your 'landing' until you return to Canada and let them know you are back.
In your case, you are in Canada, so I would respond to the questions for you and then also for your husband, but I would also state there you believe there is no further need to include him in your landing process because he has already received his PR. Provide his PR details, application number, eCOPR date, so they can confirm that he does not need to be included in your landing process. And, ask them if there is anything else you need to do as a result of your husband having his own PR.
Hope that helps!
