Just now BG Check finally moved from in progress --> completed , applied on March 13,2024. Hope all goes well. No email was sent, may be the notification email will be sent later
You will not receive an email about final decision or COPR details showing up on the tracker. Just a visual thing. If everything is complete and you have FD and COPR details, next email will be portal 1. Congrats! I'm still waiting for P1 myself.Just now BG Check finally moved from in progress --> completed , applied on March 13,2024. Hope all goes well.

Fingers crossed you hear something very soon!Congrats! I'm still waiting for P1 myself.
Thanks, seen you had received P1 today, and was thinking having the same dates with FD and COPR details, and being same province, maybe we would be mirrored, but did not receive mine today.Fingers crossed you hear something very soon!
I've seen some people in Jan/Feb threads get the P2 and eCOPR within 3-4 weeks of their P1. I'm hopeful for a similar timeline since it would be really nice if I didn't have to apply and pay for a SOWP just to maintain the status of my current work permit (expires December) at this stage of the process.
I have not traveled since June 2023. I do not believe the COPR details would be much help. As for land travel, you would at least need the ECOPR. I know they say ECOPR is not usable for trav4el, but have heard land travel is fine with it, just no air travel. What you might do is, find a phone number for the border crossing where you would be leaving and re-entering, and ask to speak to a manager or senior officer, explain your situation and ask them. Be sure to find out who you spoke with, note the day and time of your phone call. This way IF they say it would be fine, and you would proceed and something comes up saying you can't cross with that, then you can say I spoke with so and so on this date at this time and was told....... Just a bit of protection.Has anyone traveled across the US border during this process? We haven’t left Canada since applying but we are getting antsy to drive to family during Christmas. If my husband is in between P1 and actually getting the eCOPR PDF, would a printout of the COPR details from the tracker suffice? Husband is American and I’m dual. Thanks!
You can't action the P2 (which is to confirm you're in the country) while out of country. So if you're still waiting for that part, then you need to inform IRCC about it by replying to the P1 and they'll pause the process until you're back. Traveling out and back in would be on your existing permit.Has anyone traveled across the US border during this process?

Wish I had something better for you, but hopefully this will help.
My other post doesn't seem to have posted (odd, maybe too many links). The info on the P1 email says you can't confirm your PR when you are out of the country - so if you leave or have travel plans after receiving the P1 email but before you are confirmed, you need to notify IRCC (replying to the email address that your P1 is sent from). They'll pause the process until you return (and you'll be leaving/entering on your existing permits).Thanks! I’ll do that and report back what I hear.
Yeah, I think that once we respond to P1 we likely won’t take any chances with travel until eCOPR but I will confirm with border.My other post doesn't seem to have posted (odd, maybe too many links).

If you've received your eCOPR but don't have your PR card yet, you can only get back in by land and private vehicle. For any other carriers, you have to apply for a document to return. More info here:

I'm not exactly sure what happens if you've done the P2 confirmation and then leave before getting your eCOPR issued.
Don’t most people who applied for spousal PR online have a PR account? We applied on the PR portal which is separate from the tracker and Secure Account. Is that portal the same as the P2 one?I've just had my P2 email come through! Have declared and submitted the photo.
I had a PR Portal account already (from planning an outland application a few years back) so I don't know if that made it quicker for them to just attach a case to.
Hopefully that's a good sign that it won't drag on long for everyone. Fingers crossed
That's probably the case. I've just seen lots of people saying you're supposed to wait for them to create but that might be for a different stream. I first created it in 2021 so thought "oops" when I kept seeing people comment that.Don’t most people who applied for spousal PR online have a PR account?

May I know when you replied back to the portal 1 email?I've just had my P2 email come through! Have declared and submitted the photo.
