I just called for booking an appointment. They informed me that the local office would contact me. And then after 2 hours I received an email from Ottawa office on confirmation of legal PR status.
CEC September 2019 applicants join here for updates
- Thread starter nidhip
- Start date
Sorry mate i am a little bit confused. What you mean by legal PR Status? Are you going to get a phone interview or not? Also what about your PR Card?
Legal PR mean I am a Permanent Resident.
It seems I am not going to get an interview as they seem to consider my call with the agent as interview.
For getting PR card, I need to send COPR with a new Photograph. I have to speak with agent once again to confirm whether to sign the COPR or not when sending it along with Photograph.
1-888-242-2100. They are taking calls,but you need to be patient and wait for more than half an hour for the agent to speak
Any update for people whose passport was received around 15-18th March?
Negative!
Seeing for those who got delivered between 3/9 to 3/12 though over past two weeks... any luck with your case?
Negative! There is no way to get appointment right now. I used webform to request an appointment and here is the email i got this morning.
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The Government of Canada is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and any impacts on IRCC clients.
To manage the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Prime Minister announced travel restrictions that will limit travel to Canada.
We understand that these measures will affect several IRCC clients, including those who have received a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and are currently inside Canada.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.

- Validating a COPR at a Port of Entry (POE):
- due to the current travel restrictions, you should not travel to a POE to validate your COPR,
- travelling to a POE from inside Canada for the purpose of getting immigration services is not considered essential travel, and you will not receive these services.
- Appointment at a local IRCC office:
- all in-person permanent resident landing appointments at the local IRCC offices have been cancelled until further notice,
- local offices are reduced to critical services, therefore, no appointments can be scheduled at this time.
- What happens next?

Nothing. Actually with PPR I received another letter saying that at the time of landing I should have an address outside Quebec. So I dont know they how they will treat applicants who applied from Quebec.
No idea, may be as a back-up option. Client support center is your best bet once you get your documents back.
Hi, thanks for the helpful information! I have a few questions along with our data points. I'll update when possible.
AOR: September 8, 2019
PPR: March 4
Passport copies and requested photos delivered to Ottawa: Confirmed March 23
We applied under EE CEC, inland, live in Toronto, all of us born US Citizens. My husband has an employer specific WP, is Primary applicant. Our two kids and I have visitor permits to accompany him. All expiring 5/30/20.
1. Once you receive PPR request, have they reviewed your complete application and cleared it or can you still get denied?
In the portal, the status bar is at 100% but then it says taking longer to process than usual and all the application steps are still "under review" except medical. I didn't really understand PPR was a big process milestone until i started BOWP research.
2. It's unlikely we'll receive COPR and then the interview or phone call by May 30th when our permits expire. We started the application for a BOWP and visitor extensions. Would you file them ASAP at 30 days as suggested or wait a couple weeks and hope we somehow complete the process and avoid $550 in additional fees?
3.There's no phase of the application process that gives implied status until you complete the landing/actual interview/phone call, correct? Receiving COPR does not grant implied status? BOWP is our only option?
Thank you and best of luck!

Hello,
Do I need to let IRCC and AINP know about current working status as I don't work right now due to COVID-19? but I still have my job until the government says we can in Alberta. I didn't work since March 20, 2020. I am getting EI and CERB though.
