Cannot be sped up. You can enter through the US land border in a private vehicle with eCoPR, though.

You will get eCoPR. The only question is how will you get back to Canada once it's issued since your TRV/eTA will be cancelled.

Why do you want to send it to IRCC? The photos will be "under review" forever, even after you get PR card, don't worry

It takes 2-4 weeks. Sometimes less. It is hard to say because it depends on visa office/officer/stream etc. You cannot really speed it up, when you send P1 you are put in a queue. You can try resending e-mails but for a vast majority of people this does not work (unless you are way past 30-40...

IRCC phone agents cannot access your virtual landing file, they don't know where you are in the queue, calling them regarding this is a waste of time

Sure, there are some outliers. But expect to wait. The other offices are slow now as well

It's normal. It takes 3-4 weeks to get P2 email

Do you expect that someone will advise you to lie? What other suggestion do you want?

Stop spamming every forum. You already got your reply: you should just tell the truth

I suggest consulting a RCIC or an immigration lawyer

It will be similar to federal EE, there will be draws. https://www.alberta.ca/aaip-updates AAIP will launch a new expression of interest system on September 30, 2024. After a candidate submits an expression of interest, they will be placed in a selection pool. AAIP will invite selected...

Yes. There will be a new program set in place in September

Nobody knows. You can look at Quebec system.

Why do you need random people on a volunteer forum to confirm if you have a lawyer to give you advice?

It's the moment you receive eCoPR, which happens anywhere between 1 days and 6 weeks after P2. You also have 7 days to reply to P2. And sometimes they send P2 faster (depends on your VO). If you want to be on the safe side then inform them you will be travelling and you return at a given date...
