Hi! I sent an Email to IRCC explaining my situation and asking to delay the portal process. They replied and said they would wait until I am back in Canada. When I came back, I informed them that I was back, and then they sent me my portal credentials within 3 days. Shortly after, I had received...

Thanks, it's quite a relief! I am glad it all worked out on your end as well! Good luck for the CoPR, I am sure it will be fast!

Hi! Yes, I sent them an email as soon as I got back to Canada and received portal credentials the next day. Within a few days, they send me my ecopr, and I am now just waiting for them to approve the photo and send me the PR card (although that can take a lot of time as well from what I read)...

Good to know, thanks! Yes, I guess once you push back the process, things are a little slower...

No, Québec, VO Montréal. Hopefully they get back to you soon. Just a note that their reply today was to my first email that I thought they had missed (which I had sent over 10 days ago...).

Hey again, just a quick update: I received an email from IRCC this morning confirming that they will open the portal only upon my return to Canada and asking me to let them know when I am back. So it seems it is all good. I hope all goes well for you too.

Ok great, this is so helpful, I read about the time frame, but I wasn't sure about the 7 day window. This all clarifies things a lot - honestly, I appreciate this so much, thank you! I keep you posted on how things go and please do the same.

Thanks a lot for sharing this, that's what I understood as well. So it really comes back to delaying the portal credential process so that no COPR can be issued while we are outside of Canada (which would then render the WP invalid). So in case they don't put the process on hold and they send...

Yes, indeed. I spoke to a lawyer about this and that's what he told me as well. Luckily we still have a valid visa for now, so waiting in the short-term does not hurt too much. Hopefully it all goes well! Best of luck.

Hey! Did you end up travelling while you were in the process of getting your card? Could you please share more details? I'd appreciate any thoughts!

Hi! Very similar situation indeed. I sent the first email on June 10, and received the second notice (I think they missed my first reply) today and replied right away (about 2h ago). Please keep me posted on how you go!

Hey, I have received the portal information email and replied. It seems they have not received it, and sent me a second notice. So far, I replied saying that I am in Canada now but that I will be away for the next two weeks (June 27- July 6) - if I come back and E-COPR has not yet been issued...

Hello, Could you please share the information you received on this? I am in a similar situation - as of now, I only replied to the first email (portal invite), saying that I am in Canada now but that I will be away for the next two weeks - if I come back and E-COPR has not yet been issued, will...

Hey, Could you please share the rest of your story and how you came back to Canada? I am in a similar situation, got first email, replied that I am in Canada, but that I am leaving for two weeks (June 27-July 6). I basically asked them to finalize the process once I am back. They did not reply...

Hi! Yes, I finally received it on February 15th, almost 4 months later... Well, I could not renew (or rather update) my SIN, as the names did not match. But since I kept the same job, there was no issue. Still so stressful. Wishing you all the best!
