How to confirm your status
Confirming you’re in Canada
Sign in to the PR Portal
Under Category, choose Confirmation of Permanent Residence
Confirm you’re in Canada
Declaring you’re in Canada does not mean you are a permanent resident yet.
We can’t confirm your PR status while you’re outside Canada. If you plan to travel before receiving your electronic confirmation of permanent residence (eCOPR), contact us using the email address on your invitation message.
Get your eCOPR
Once you’ve confirmed you’re in Canada, we’ll upload your eCOPR to your portal account. This can take up to a few weeks.
Provide your Canadian address
Upload a photo of yourself
You must upload a digital photo of yourself for your first PR card. Once you upload your photo, we’ll review it and accept it if it meets the requirements. This may take some time.
Get your PR card
Once your photo is approved, we’ll send your PR card to the address in Canada you gave us.
