PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

[MooseTapeSeason]

yes, after they gave me my home town as it is written in their profile - I linked my application

I was also able to link mine after 3 months. However, the problem is with City/town of birth; if you get it right, you could link pr card application within a week from ecopr. I linked 2. One ecopr is from September 27,2021

finally received PR card today...thank you everyone for your support.. see you in citizen forum after 2 yr.

When was it shipped.

Unfortunately, at the moment when you receive eCOPR / confirmation of permanent residence - all your permits and visas automatically cancelled, and you can't travel using them.

I didn't check this information, and planned a vacation. But after I found out this information, I had to cancel all my plans and stay in Canada. (still waiting for PR Card)

you can travel to the US and cross land border with a COPR.

you can travel to the US and cross land border with a COPR.

Are you sure about this? What's the source?

Immigration agents. Also they sent me this email back in July:
Permanent residents outside Canada

If you are a permanent resident outside Canada and you are planning on returning to Canada:

• On a commercial carrier(plane, boat, train or bus):
  • please make sure to have a valid Permanent Resident card (PR card) in your possession,
• Aboard a private vehicle:
  • it is not necessary to have the PR card with you,
  • you can use one of the following immigration documents:
    • Record of Landing (IMM 1000), or
    • Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688).

Also, I called the borders maybe 7 times to confirm this information. But anyone can do the same and make sure they hear the same I did

Hi,
I am in inland applicant and had submitted photos on March 31st and still awaiting for my pr card. My dependent husband application was approved and he received his card today but my application is still in submitted status, Has anyone been in the same situation could you please let us know when the primary applicant card was approved.
Also I have a valid work permit visa, Is it possible to travel back with this visa after COPR.


Thanks

Only possible if you are travelling by car via US, but you also need a valid Canadian ID like a drivers license. Or you can get a prtd. My pr card is also late, I left to travel to the Philippines anyway thinking I could get a prtd straight away and boy was I wrong. It was very stressful, the prtd application took over 2 months, countless emails, and sleepless nights. I do not recommend this at all if the VAC office in your home country is not open to process prtds.

Hi All,

Received COPR - July 27th
Submitted photos next day - July 28th
Received email for re-submission of photos in 2 weeks- re-submitted the next day after that no updates.

Any idea what is taking them so long- everything was done through the new online portal system.

I have been trying to contact ircc to hear any updates or where my application for PR CARD is but not even able to reach them. Even web-form didn't work as their top PRIORITY IS THE AFGHANISTAN issue.

Anybody has recently spoke to IRCC regarding this? If so what is the contact number? Any advise will help please.. and Thank You.

Got eCOPR on MAy 10 new portal uploaded photo in the portal on May 12, waiting since then for PR Card. No card yet. Photo still in review in Portal. Etobicoke VO.

We submitted the address and photo and got e-COPR on August 13, 2021.
status is "Address: Accepted, Photo : In review"
Since then no update on the PR card. Tried all the possible ways, to link it to the application. But the portal could not find my application.
Also, no clue about the PR card.

Got eCOPR on May 10 new portal uploaded photo in the portal on May 12, waiting since then for PR Card. No card yet. Photo still in the review in Portal. Etobicoke VO.
