Just volume of files to process.

IRCC have told some people this week that it may take up to 4 months for eCOPR.

The portal provides additional information as to the current status of a PR application (https://prt-srp.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login). For paper applications, they have the ECAS system and Portal. Online is only Portal.

Very true, it is often out of date for many applications. That is why it is important to use the information in the portal, GCKey, emails received, and the ghost activity frequency as an indicator of progress and stage.

I would have the PA or someone on file as a representative call IRCC and confirm the information required for the portal.

For inland spouse, no form 5526 was not on the checklist and no we did not include it in the documents. We only provided the minimum that they asked for. I wish the portal only shows the form you need to upload or complete for the class you are applying. Unfortunately it shows all of the...

If you can view the file in GCKey, then you should be able to view it in the Portal. You need to make sure you put in the information exactly as it is on the PA Application. For number of people on the application the sponsor + primary applicant = two so you need to type two or three. For...

That is the step just before you get the inland portal invitation. That email asks to confirm the UCI and name of all accompanying dependents and the email address that should be used for the portal. Once you reply to the email, you will receive an email inviting you to upload a photo and...

It can be confusing since it mostly refers to military service. For a teacher here is an example, in brackets are comments on how to fill in the field: Start date: 01/01/2001 End date: 01/01/2010 Your title: Math Teacher Your rank 1: Teacher Your rank 2: 3 (me, vice principle, principle...

Approval Email & confirmed PA info: 14 Dec 2022 (from Calgary West Landing Office) Invitation to Portal: 19 Dec 2022 (provided photos and address confirmation same day) eCOPR: Pending

Congratulations!

This would mean that your file is now in the queue for virtual landing with either the east or west landing office, if it is approved. That being said, if your file has been processed and approved in 2 months, it would be highly unusual. I would call again to see if IRCC says the same thing...

Your assumptions are correct. I am in IT and industry specializing in Canadian and European relationships, and also based in BC and eastern Europe. :)

Perfect, thanks for your insight Kaibigan. As always, your legal prospective is a benefit to all of the users on the forum.

I am not a lawyer, but if she gets sponsored at a later date (ie employment, spouse, etc) she may be able to go after you down the road as long as statute of limitations is not expired.

It is not uncommon for IRCC to mix the PA contact number and email with the sponsors. I would have the PA call IRCC to ensure the correct contact information is on file, then submit a webform to correct it (if they are not willing to update the details over the phone - sometimes they do). I...

Several things here... When you receive Sponsor Approval (email to the sponsor) it will say what VO is processing the file. If it does not say, that means it is Central Intake in Ottawa. You can also call IRCC asking them which VO is primary and secondary on the file. Early on, not always...

Yes, you will need to resubmit if the application was returned to you. On the plus side, you now do it all online, so the documents will be uploaded in the order that IRCC needs them in. You need to check the website to ensure you used the most recent forms, and if not use the updated forms...

The key is that you need to be a Permanent Resident, regardless of if you have the card in your possession or not. What this means, is that your PR Application needs to be status closed in order to sponsor someone. In order for your status to be closed, the card needs to be shipped. This is...

Yes, that is very common. It is very possible that you will receive your PR cards and the online database will say some things are still in progress. At times they do not update the screens with each step, and do it all at once when they close the application at the end. This is after your PR...
