Hi,

Can I sponser family (spouse and children) if I have COPR and yet to receive PR card.
Now a days taking time 3 to 4 months to get PR Card even after receive COPR. My family is already in CANADA with visitor visa.
Can I submit sponser application after I get COPR instead of waiting for PR Card.

Really helpful to me and appreciate your thoughts.

Wait until you officially landed as a Permanent resident of Canada.

Thank you.
It seems it is asking PR number when I fill the sponser application and it is mandatory field.
One of my friend said PR number and COPR number is different. Can we give COPR number in the application? I think COPR is valid for 12 months.

Thanks for your reply.

You can check elsewhere but I believe the PR number is usually (always?) the same as the UCI. I'm not certain, however.

And I don't know if the applications you need to fill will ask for other PR card details (issue date, expiry date).

Yes, but just to clarify: anyone who has a COPR will have a UCI number - which it seems will be the PR card number when the PR card is issued.

So I guess a COPR-holder could use the UCI number on their sponsorship app while waiting for the PR card to be issued.
