March 19, 2021 - photo and COPR letter sent to Etobicoke Office
March 22 - Delivered
Aug 25 - GU1
Nothing happened afterwards, still waiting for my first PR Card. I called IRCC so many times also hundreds of webform, every time was told they have shifted their priority to Afghanistan and was unable to provide updates, just be patient.
It has been over 180 days, I'm thinking to sign the solemn declaration.

Just called IRCC today and agent said card was sent to production yesterday. In process.. from now on takes about a month or so to get PR card. Finally got some news after waiting for 6 months. Can’t wait to see “approved and mailed” soon!
How were you able to get a hold of ircc ? they are not taking calls

Guys, where do you see the ghost update? I can not access the IRCC portal, it keeps asking my password and taking back to the page to choose English or French in loop.

Hello everyone,

I had received my E-CoPR on 12th June and had uploaded the photo on the PR portal along with providing the mailing address. It is my first card and I still have not received it nor has the status changed on the PR portal. It still says 'in review with IRCC' under the photograph. section The declaration has already been approved long ago. It is past the current processing time now and I am starting to get worried. It should not be that complicated for a first card, should it? I have tried linking it to my IRCC account, but despite trying almost all the combinations of spellings for the Place of Birth and the Last name under 'Search with UCI and Last Name', I am unable to find and link it! They would not give any information through phone calls or webforms saying they are too busy with 'the situation in Afghanistan'. I need to travel in late November and it is frustrating to see their incompetence. Is there anything I can do here? Thank you!

Have you linked the permanent residence card to your GCKey account?
Hey I’m new to the forum, I have received my copr in May and sent my pictures for pr card in end of May, I tried to link my application to cic account.
I wanted to confirm we had to choose pr card application? And I didn’t have any application number so I called ircc they gave me this number that starts with ‘R’ and I used it to open my application.along with my pr application uci number. Did I do correct?
Just wanted to ask where do you all see pictures received and all info for me it says application is in process and all the basic info no interview needed, we will ask if documents needed all generic stuff.
can someone please tell me if I’m at right place and doing everything correctly.

thanks a lot

looks like you have done everything that is required. We just have to wait and see. I have same timeline as yours. No updates yet.

Try to send email with your uci details, application no, name, copr date to below mail id, got this mail id from some other forums where people say they respond in 1 or 2 days. (highlight that you have crossed 4 months from copr date and also mention your travel plans).
