Thanks for the response!
Please can you clarify what you mean by your application was being processed a lot earlier than expected? How did you learn that?
I did respond to the first email letting them know I’m in canada but I didn’t respond to the second one. Instead I sent an email requesting they pause processing. I never received a response. And IRCC call center confirmed my status is still “processing”. I definitely don’t have my COPR. My understanding is that I now need to go in to the PR portal and confirm there that I’m in canada. Then they start my actual PR card processing.
I really need to go back as my family has been sick and I haven’t seen them in years. It has taken me a long time to get this time off and plan the travel.
I am obviously going to reschedule if someone (IRCC) can confirm that this is actually a concern. I am not getting good guidance from them
