Mistakes in eCOPRs

[andreynitro]

Hello @legalfalcon and all.

I have following question: recently i was able to download my eCOPR documents from PR Confirmation Portal. Unfortunately i've noted several minor mistakes on documents for me and my dependents: no place of birth and wrong height for me, and wrong entry dates (original and last) - the difference is by 1 day i.e. june 8 instead of june 7.. i risen web forms and asked to fix this issues there..
I wanted to check if i did right thing and how critical such minor issues are? in past times this was fixed by officer at Port of Entry but how they manage it now? will they send new fixed eCOPR's or what is the process?

Really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

If you have raised the webforms, see if IRCC can fix them and issue you a revised one. However, as long as your name, UCI, and date of birth are correct, that is what matters.

If your do not hear back from IRCC, then you may have to file a formal request to amend your documents see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/request-amend-record-landing-confirmation-permanent-residence-valid-temporary-resident-documents.html

Thanks @legalfalcon before it was possible to ask to make necessary adjustments during landing, but now it's not clear with all those eCOPRs.. i will update the theread once will hear back from them.. can you please confirm that it would be better to request this amendment for further Citizenship Purposes?

Thanks!

Usually these details are irrelevant for a citizenship application. All that matters is your complete name, date of birth, city and country of birth. However, you can request IRCC to amend the document so that it reflects an accurate description if your profile.

When you file a citizenship application, all IRCC will check is that you have a PR status, and that you have maintained the physical residency obligations, along with other eligibility, criminality and security checks pursuant to the Citizenship Act.

Thanks but my COPR missing place of birth - it’s empty (just for me, dependents are Fine ) so I guess it makes sense to request at least this amendment?

As far as possible, you should have all documents with correct info. You can call IRCC and ask what would be the fastest way.

Okay i reached out to them and they suggest to file amendment form.
I'm really confused about place of birth. in my passport place of birth is just a name of my country. so my COPR has it blank, all the rest dependents have city in this field - which is correct, but not as it is in passport.. i checked with agent what is in their system and she replied that it is the same like in Passport - Republic of Belarus. so now i confused.. Should i ask to change it to city only for myself in order this to be matched other application, or should i ask to change it to exactly how it's in passport (and their system)? @legalfalcon what do you think?

to add here checked my eAPR profile - it has my city in a field City/Town of Birth - so same as in all other COPR's

The place of birth is a city, if this information was blank in your passport, then your COPR would be blank too. The passport is your identity document, and unless the information is present in your passport, you cannot have it amended in the COPR.

Thanks it’s not blank it contains full name of the country REPUBLIC OF BELARUS city is not mentioned on bio page. So does it make sense to ask to amend the same REPUBLIC OF BELARUS on COPR too in order to be in sync with passport or it should be left blank? sorrry for asking but still confused

In the long run it would not matter. But you can ask IRCC for clarification on if you have no city, would they still update your country there.

Hi @legalfalcon, I got my eCOPR. All the information is correct except for the port of entry. I replied to the portal credential email with Port of Entry: Toronto, ON.

My eCOPR says Pearson Airport as the last port of entry but the last time I entered was via road coming back from New York. Is Lester B. Pearson the default Port of Entry for Toronto or do I need to reach out to IRCC to get this fixed?

Thanks in advance!

It does not make a difference. You can send a webform and let IRCC know. IF they change it, good.

If not, then you will have to follow the procedure mentioned at:

Thanks for replying @legalfalcon! Just to confirm it is okay if I leave it as it is and just wait for my PR card now, right?

or shall I ask them to change it to Niagra Falls - Rainbow Road from Lester B Pearson.

Appreciate your help.

Either way it will not have any impact on anything, including your application for citizenship in the future.
