I am writing to see if anyone has experienced a situation similar to mine. I am currently in India and received a PR confirmation email yesterday asking for details. What would be the next steps in this case? I am concerned that this might delay my process, as I plan to return to Canada at the beginning of March.

3 things can be done in your case, first of all I believe that when you say IRCC is asking for information then you are probably referring towards P1.
1. Reply to the email with all the required info that they ask everyone and in the Personal Information form there is a line which asks are you in Canada or not? You can reply truthfully and say you are not in Canada and you are planning to come back in March, this will pause your PR Confirmation until you come back to Canada.
2. This option is unethical and I personally won't recommend it but you can try at your own risk, you can say yes in the line where they ask are you in Canada or not? this will let IRCC process your application as usual without any delays but as I said if they find out you are lying then they can cancel the whole process, I personally won't take such a big risk.
3. You can book a flight ticket asap and come back to Canada and you can write in the Personal Information form that you will be back in 2-3 days so they can pause it for 2-3 days and then continue it normally also you need to do this only if you have exceeded the 7 days period that IRCC give you to submit the required info, if you have just received the email then you can book a ticket and come back and then reply to the email.
In all this the third is the best option, you can always come back to India whenever you want but this PR thing is only going to happen once in your life.
I applied for BOWP on july 24th 2024 and exactly 5months later on december 23rd 2024 i got the approval
yes bt it is different in everybody's case.
My friend got his BOWP approval in two months, and exactly the very next he got his PR approved and in 15days he got his eCOPR.
This was around august-sept 2024.
Basically its like theory that, IRCC is trying to approve bowp first and then give ecopr immediately so that people cannot withdraw their bowp and take the refund.
Doesn't look like anything positive is happening. Anyone who is not tired at this time deserves a special position.

Guys! Don’t loose hope. People have started getting their ECOPR since this morning again. I follow a group called IRCC PR PORTAL UPDATES on Facebook and two CEC NOV P2 candidates have got it this morning.
Its very random right now. Some people get PR Card mailed within 5 days of eCoPr, while some are waiting since 2 weeks with no update at all.
For me its just showing submitted. No update and No messages.
I saw that too.
Hopefully, things will go well this week. People are actually worried that files are being reviewed again based on what I saw on Facebook. That could be a reason for the delays, if it's true.
