My tracker shows that all my stages turned to green on Oct 6th, but the COPR is still not available on my tracker. There is nothing update on my IRCC account, is it normal?

We completed the virtual landing on October 5.

Will the dependanoutside of Canada receive passport requests at this stage?

Or do they have to wait until the principal applicant receives the e-COPR?

For those with dependents, do they just visit the embassy with the letter received BEFORE the principal applicant completed their virtual landing?
You might have to call and remind IRCC that your dependents have not yet received a passport request. When I got P2 my dependent still did not receive PPR, I called and the next day she got it.

What was your experience with virtual landing? How long did it take?

I have a question, I hope according to your experience, you can help me. I just received the approval to do my medicals on October 5th. However, I need to travel for business from Nov 11 to Nov 20. I might try to do the medicals at the end of October. Do you think it is possible that I can receive any notification like the PR confirmation mail etc before my travel? Should I contact IRCC and let them know that I need to travel during those days? Thanks.

Are you saying that you will be doing your medical at the end of October? And you're wondering if you will get portal 1 before November 11? I guess it's possible but that would be miraculous.

PAL is your prearrival letter, even if you're in Canada you can still get it. It usually means that you have met the eligibility requirements and that your backgrounds checks have either started or are already underway.
Have you already been asked for a police clearance check? Or have you submitted one along with your application?

Well it seems you have met eligibility requirements. The background check is probably the longest part of the process. Hang in there, it takes a while. You might have time to make your business trip and come back.
