You have to make a declaration that you are present in Canada when you receive an invite through the PR confirmation portal.And even if you get COPR directly to your account,you still have to mail the application to get your PR card, they get the photography studio to stamp their address on the...

You have to tell them you are not in the country and will receive your COPR when you land. You can get in trouble for misrepresentation, if they find out you falsely claimed you were to inland, so you could get COPR virtually and obtain your PR card, a luxury that is only available for inland...

I have seen a few people get their photos rejected. What was their reason yours got rejected?

One of the busiest VO's in the country, so you might have to wait a while for COPR and PR card.

I think the Halifax VO will be fast in issuing your COPR and PR card compared to local VO's for example in Ontario, where 70% of applicants intend to move too or are currently residing.

They care more about you providing your My Bank Statement Ticket showing your account balances for the last year and that is all you need to provide.Don’t worry too much about the format on how to respond.They believed you forged your bank statement.

Unfortunately,you have to wait until VFS starts taking biometrics for PR applicantions.Under the pandemic,non-essential travel should not be embarked upon,so I won’t advise any travel to another country to complete the biometrics.

Your wife is currently in India and unable to complete her biometrics.There likely won’t be any update in your application.Completing biometrics is an integral step required before criminality and security background check can begin.

Glad my VO will be Calgary if I get the portal invite.

Seems like everyone in Calgary has to go through the portal.

Got two GU updates and then called IRCC who informed me I passed all stages.

Did the number they used to call you have a caller I.D?Just want to make sure I dont ignore any incoming calls.

Did you receive any email or you found out it was approved when your logged into your GC account?

I would rather say you have implied status until you receive the COPR.And can continue to work.The only problem is your health card and drivers licence will be expired and you won’t be able to renew both documents until you obtain your COPR. In the mean time, try to not get sick and don’t drive.

Did it mention in the initial email when you received the invite to the portal your IRCC office was Calgary?

Did they mention if the Local VO is the secondary office mentioned in your GCMS notes or the one based in your city? In my GCMS notes, Edmonton is mentioned as the secondary office, but I am based in Calgary. Based on the timelines I have seen posted, the Calgary office takes about a week to...

When I first ordered my GCMS notes it showed my Info Sharing was complete. And my eligibilility, security and criminality had not yet started.

Applicants that have COPR directly sent to their GC account, receive requests to mail their photos to a specific VO in order to receive their PR cards.And applicants who receive requests to join the portal have to send their details and then be issued credentials to login in to the portal and...

After eligibilty,passing security is the most important step because there is no definite timeline for it’s completion.It can take a few days and in some extreme cases a few years based on what I have seen posted.
