Hello
@victor101 Did you hear anything on how to get PR after receiving COPR for people who are residing in Canada? Also, do you know if we can do flag poling now?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi
@didnotfind,
I only got a generic response from my web form inquiry maybe because my COPR validity is until Sept 2020. We are still not allowed to do flagpoling that's why I'm still waiting for reopening of the border or until further notice.
This is the reply:
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.
- 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?
- maintaining a legal temporary resident status is an important requirement. If your status is about to expire, you must apply online for an extension (visitor, student or worker),
- we invite you to visit our website regularly to receive up-to-date information as more announcements are made.
Please be assured that we continue to closely monitor the situation and provide you with the most current information as the situation evolves.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
We would also like to suggest the following online services that might be helpful to you with any immigration, refugee and/or citizenship future requests:
