Critical situation - urgent help needed

[LalluBhaiya]

Hi all, I received PPR on August 29th and send my passport immediately, delivered on August 31st. Since my PPR was quick and since I saw people getting CoPR quickly (some in a matter of 5-6 days most in 3 weeks) I assumed that I will get CoPR soon, so I started applying for Jobs writing 'Canadian PR holder' on resume (since my PR is technically approved) assuming that by the time I get interview call I will get the passport back with CoPR, now I have received interview call (first round only - phone interview- not onsite interview), but unfortunately even after almost 1 month I have not received the CoPR. Now my fear is this - lets say I pass the phone interview and they call me for onsite interview and by that time also I don't get my passport then I will have no way to go for the onsite interview and I dont know how much time it will take, since technically there is no fixed time by which CoPR is granted..I hope that I get it by the time I get onsite interview (hoping I clear phone interview), but if it comes to the situation where they call me for interview and I dont get passport back, what would be my option? thanks.

All you can do for now is to call them and ask if they can process it fast because you need it. It worked for me at least

thanks buddy, i tried it, but from US you cannot call , only from within Canada. Are you in Canada or outside? Also can you kindly confirm which no. you called. I got 2 numbers int this forum and both are accessible from within Canada only.

I was inside of Canada at that time. I called this one 1-888-242-2100... Or you can send an email to CPC Ottawa.
I used to call 1 number from outside of Canada by using Google Hangouts (but I guess they changed it now, that's why you can't call them).

Please keep calm and don't over-complicate things. Your situation is not at all critical nor urgent. You have not been even called for an on-site interview yet.
Anyway, when you are called for an interview, ask for a reschedule as the passport is not in your possession right now and you can't fly. Most companies will understand that. Good Luck!

boss, while I can understand why you say it is not complicated, I beg to disagree (and some people would agree with me) - it is not about when/whether I get onsite interview or about being able to get it postponed, the bigger issue is postponed till when? what is my visibility? I can't call the numbers because those are accessible from Canada only.

Use your mobile phone and IDD service to call. I called quite a few times from Thailand.

+1 (613) 944-4000 followed by 1,1,1,7,0

That's services offered by your telecom. Before the country code, you have to add 011 or 001 or 005 whatever they specify.
