To the (very few) people who received PR portal emails, is there anything about how to prove you are physically in Canada at time of COPR? I haven’t received AOR yet (May 6th 12:15 EST IG submission) but I have a wedding to attend at the end of July in the US and might stay just for a few weeks to vacation in August. The timing is quite tricky so I just wanna start planning logistics soon. Would like some inputs from people with int’l travel plans too! Btw I’m fully vaccinated and meet both Canada/US admissibility requirements.
I also plan on traveling to USA in August but just for few days. You will need to apply wisdom and monitor your application throughly.
If you have submitted all they needed upfront and you have no dependants outside Canada, then the processing of your application will be super fast. My suggestion is, make sure you travel before you get your AOR or within the same week you get your AOR.
For example, I submitted my application by 1:30pm (which was around 12,000 applications by then). If I don’t get my AOR by August, I will travel with peace of mind. However, if I get my AOR in July or 1st week of August, it will be too risky to travel most especially because I submitted ALL my documents at the time of application and my application should be straightforward (I don’t have any dependants outside Canada as well).
I have not bought my ticket or booked Vacation from work yet because I am observing proceedings.
In addition, pace at which AOR is given out Next month will also determine my next move.
