Have you researched two options: 1) change your return flight to land in the USA and cross the border by private vehicle/taxi/rental car(?). CBSA will admit you if you are coming from the US not on a commercial carrier (plane, train, bus). 2) Apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document...

I did not travel, but I also sent a message to the P1 email address after P2. I never got a new P2 mail, nor did I get a reply. But they did take action, since my country of birth (which was wrong in the Application Tracker) is correct on my eCOPR, which I got yesterday. In short: I think...

Given current trends, a March 13 P2 would probably not be issued an eCOPR until May/June (around 90 days later). But maybe this will be faster for you, since some people have got eCOPR faster than that (I got mine yesterday 10 weeks after P2) and some people mentioned much shorter times: they...

My understanding is that everything that was submitted for CEC points was accepted, and you met the minimum requirements for the program you entered under. Now they are doing the criminal / security background check. So you are an important step closer. This is not the final stage: the officer...

Hi folks! Golden letter time for me!!! EE CEC (French language proficiency) Principal applicant + spouse + 2 dependent children Timeline ITA: 8 July 2024 Submitted & AOR: 6 Sept 2024 BIL & MIL: 22 Oct Biometrics complete...

The eCOPR number and expiry date show up in the Application Tracker soon after final decision, so it is confusing because it makes you think you are PR already. You are close, but not finished yet. I don't know what shows up in GCKey, since my application was filed by a lawyer. But the actual...

Does your lawyer have an office number that you can call? Maybe they have an assistant who can access your file while they are away. I would suggest to call the IRCC number and ask them if the webform will work, since you are blocked out of the portal. Finally, you can also try to revoke the...

Wow, you are still getting this error?? After getting P2!?! I was getting this error before I got my Biometric Invitation Letter (BIL) and Medical Invitation Letter (MIL). After that I was able to log in to the Tracker. Did you link your application to your GCKey account (if you didn't file...

I appreciate it Goose, since most people on there are not also posting here and vice versa (I hardly get on FB, even though I joined one of the groups). There is a risk of duplication, but it doesn't seem to happen a lot, and it gives us all some hope! Thanks!

No, not at all. October 17 AOR is only 4 months ago. Normal processing time could be 5 to 6 months. Note: You will only receive P1 mail after they complete medical exam (if needed), biometrics, eligibility and background check. What is the tracker showing on those steps?

Portal mails (P1 and P2) are emails you get from IRCC after they make a final decision on your file, if you have applied from within Canada. P1 asks you for this information: Name as it appears on your passport: Height in either centimetres or feet and inches: Eye Colour: UCI: Personal email...

Wow, that is a very subtle detail! Good to know

Congratulations @Shel12. It is terrible that IRCC says you can submit an expired PCC and they will accept it, but then they don't accept it! "Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you have a police certificate that expired, include it. We’ll accept it if: it was...

Yes, one could say hyper-helpful! ;)

In September I got it same day. I think most CEC get it same day (but I wait to be proven wrong)
