>>>>>>>OCTOBER 2019 AOR<<<<<<< Join here

[rfsbsb]

Hi everyone, I'm pleased to say that today I got my CoPR e-mail from CIC-Kitchener.

My timeline:
PNP-Inland Ontario
AOR: Oct 26 2019
MED: Nov 18
ADR: RCMP on Nov 18
CoPR email: May 25 2020

Ordered GCMS notes on March and got it on Apr. Noticed that someone could question my employee letter and proactively sent an updated employment letter a few weeks ago.

No profile updated online yet. The e-mail they've sent ask me to send my photo and it states "If you have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document in-hand, please send it along with one photo that meets our photo specifications to the address listed above". I assume I should print the e-mail they've sent me and send with a photo to them right?

Hi everyone. I am happy to share with you that I learnt via calling to IRCC that the decision on my file has been made. {AOR:28 dec; Country: India; program: FSW-O; VO: not known}

Now, there are following two questions whose answers all of us need. I have researched these two questions and come up with possible answers. Kindly contribute your views. Thanks.

1. Why is IRCC not issuing PPR/COPR to outland applicants on whose files the final decision (read ‘approval’) has been made?

The possible reasons:

1. ENTRY BAN: The international traveling to Canada is banned until the 30th of June. So, IRCC may not issue PPR/COPR until the ban is lifted.
2. RE-MEDICAL: Canada may be making a policy to get done medicals of applicants again before it let applicants enter into Canada. So, until that policy is finalized, IRCC may not issue PPR/COPR.
3. UNEMPLOYMENT: Due to spike in unemployment lately, Canada may want to delay the arrival of fresh PRs into the country.
4. VSF offices closed: VFS offices, which stamp passports, may be closed. But even in nations where VFS offices are open, IRCC is not issuing PPRs to applicants.

2. But why IRCC is not even conveying to the applicants the final decision (read ‘approval’)?

The possible reasons:

1. RE-MEDICAL: Refer to 1.1; Canada may be thinking: why to convey the applicant that his PR is approved until we get done his medical again. Technically, his PR is not approved until he passes re-medical.
2. AVOID QUESTIONS: If the final decision is conveyed to the applicant, the applicant will start asking questions: When will I get PPR, COPR, etc. So, IRCC may be thinking that it’s better not to tell them that PR is approved.

Post your views, please. Thanks again

did they asked updated employment letter in ADR ? or u sent when u see it in ur GCMS notes?

They haven't asked for it, but I choose to send because of what I saw on my GCMS notes. Essentially one of the officials asked to review my EL, so I asked my employer for an updated version and sent them. I don't know if that made any difference though.

Thanks for reply..may i ask if Current Canada employer or Previous?

Current employer, same previously indicated on my application.

have you ever had submitted passport?

 

[ratan-229944]

have you ever had submitted passport?

For this PR application - No !!

 

[rfsbsb]

For this PR application - No !!

Got same email. No passport sent and no other documents received as well. On the attached documents there’s a CoPR document number, but never got CoPR letter or passport request. I guess it’s just email photos and wait 113 days for PR card...

You mean processing the PR card is going to be 1 year until you get the card? Starting from today?

According to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html it’s taking 113 days to issue a PR card

Nope. The Letter is valid for 1 year. Send photos before that for PR card processing.
- No Need to send photos asap as most of the services are closed.

Hello guys,

I received my AOR in October and the processing of my PR application was supposed to end on the 28th of April. However, the profile states the following small update:


I can imagine I'm not the only one in this situation? Contacted IRCC via the web form and I just received a generic answer blaming the extended processing times on ... you guessed: Covid.
Does anyone have any clue how much longer this can take? It's quite outrageous not being able to check a bunch of pdfs in 6 months+.
Cheers,

Andrei

Hey! I got the exactly same message shown on my page. We are in the unlucky 20% Group.

Are you an inland applicant

 

[andreiger]

Profile is not updated till you receive the PPR and you send the passport for stamping. Only then the profile is updated. By then the process has already completed. Therefore, do not rely on the profile. Everything happens on the background and the only ways to know the activities are:

1. Call IRCC call center (the fastest, least reliable)
2. Send webform to IRCC (middle, middle)
3. Order GCMS notes (the slowest, the most reliable and detailed report)

Thanks for your reply!
I'm thinking to give them a call, but I see it's really difficult to get a free agent as there are plenty of calls in queue non-stop. Webform wasn't very helpful unfortunately.
