I just cancel my phone landing a moment ago.
Here is my experience and circumstance:
I have to travel out of Canada in 55 days, consider that to initialize PR card progressing 10-15 days(consider delivery of signed COPR to IRCC) and getting PR card 61 days = 71-76 days.
The lady in the phone was in a rush, didnt confirm the applicant number and document number etc. She was straight into the personal details confirmation, which i got my last entry date wrong, and was asked to cross out and write the correct date on top of it.
Based on my understanding (could be wrong), since i am not required to send out passport, and i have valid work permit and visa with me, i previously assume that i might able to travel while waiting for PR card if i proceed with phone landing, but the lady said NO, i am not allowed to travel without PR card in this case. She was so rush and refused to let me ask more questions and get clarification for next procedure since i told her that i couldnt finish with phone landing if i really have to travel out in 55 days.
I am in the mist that when i will be contacted by IRCC for regular landing, where they will ask me to send passport and new photos, get back passport with one time entry visa attached and COPR and the rest bla bla..
If i proceed with regular landing, (which is the only option that i have for now), I am hoping that the i will be able to get COPR with lengthy of expiry period that allow me to do landing during my returning flight on 26th Feb, 2018.
Ya i am in a little bit of frustration after waiting and struggling for months, hopefully i will be able to fly back home (after 6 years) without hindering the PR process.
It is good that IRCC is trying new alternative and conduct pilot program to accelerate all application processing time. And i understand that it is an experimental program and flaws are everywhere. I am not angry with that lady she refused to give me extra time to clarify my question and guide me for next procedures (my total call was just 5 mins) , because i understand that these agents might have lot of calls that need to be made by end of the day. Yet, a more thoughtful and comprehensive plan, more manpower and seminars should be given to these agents before they start a pilot project. At the end, some of us are just the white mice for this experiment.
Sorry for the spam.
