I would be very suspicious of this type of a mail as it sounds like a phishing scam. IRCC generally does not request documents via email and if required, they will do so via your MY CIC account.

Digital photo upload during ITA/E-APR is not as important as long as the IRCC application submission portal accepts the file and your application keeps progressing as expected. Don't sweat over it as we simply took photo using our phone and uploaded it which was never refused by IRCC...

I'm glad it has worked out for you in the past, however I just wanted to ensure other individuals don't take it as a rule which is why I clarified it several times in the thread. My intention was not to question your experience :). What surely works and is allowed by IRCC/CBSA is crossing the...

Like earlier poster has mentioned, having expired visa stamp in expired passport with new unexpired passport and unexpired I-94 along with I797 works. I myself have used it twice so far once while returning back from soft landing and as recently as last month when I had traveled to Toronto. It...

They may have overlooked and allowed you to board the bus or you belong to a country which does not require visa to travel to Canada. However, it is not a norm for many other immigrants who are citizen of countries which require visa to travel to Canada. None of the commercial carriers such as...

AVR can work in your favor even in case of change of status as long as you have an expired stamp and a valid I-797 with unexpired I-94 to come back. Be aware that lot of times airlines give difficulty to issue a boarding pass for AVR users as agents may not be well versed in AVR process. I would...

If you have MCA from India, lot of times its evaluated as 2 year bachelor and not masters. If that happens, you will have 2 or more bachelor level degrees and not master. Do run CRS calculator for both scenarios and ensure you have sufficient points to qualify for express entry. Getting...

When you get an error on attempt to link the application, there is a link which opens up form to request information from IRCC. Use the form to create Case Specific Inquiry and ask IRCC about the status of the application. They will not respond back right away and may even take a month to...

This is quiet common and not something to worry about. We had faced the same issue where my wife's application could not be linked no matter what we entered and making sure 100% of it matches with Passport, COPR or some combination of the two (tried various of these). We had no trouble to link...

Generally there is no additional charge to take rental car over the border. Try to book through costco for better prices and less restricted rentals. If you are driving from BUF to Toronto, you can take Peace bridge or Rainbow bridge or Lewiston which is father away. In order to get to rainbow...

Talk with the branch manager, I was able to obtain 6 letters with ending balance of each of past 6 months in their standard format. I submitted it along with everything else during AOR and it wasn’t an issue. I already have PR card in my possession.

Buddy, my response was regarding suggestion you had made in previous post that you can take Greyhound to Toronto while traveling on COPR which you cannot. Clearly, private cars or rental vehicles or foot travel is permitted on COPR but any commercial carrier will not let you board the bus, boat...

You cannot take any commercial carrier as they will not let you board it if you dont have valid visa for the travel or PR Card in possession. What you can do is to rent a car and drive across or somehow reach the border post and cross it on foot. COPR is not valid for travel but as a PR person...

I agree, traveling just to collect PR cards is not necessary however I did what I did out of my own choice and no one asked me to do it that way. Sending PR cards out by a courier and losing it would be an additional headche I wasnt ready to take on so for me travelling was best option. In...

I can conclusively say that one can enter Canada using COPR and Passport without the PR Card after completing landing formalities as I just did that a week ago at Peace Bridge and also entered back into US couple of days later at Rainbow bridge using AVR. My PR cards were delivered at a friend's...

It doesnt work, I tried blocking number just like auggested here but eventually it transfers to a toll free number and then disconnects just like previous post in this thread. Fortunately I didnt have to follow up as we eneded up getting the cards in expected timeframe.

It was pretty fast for us, approximately one week after I uploaded everything we got the PPR. However, this will be dependent upon how long your application has been sitting with IRCC as they would be conducting background check, security check etc. so if those stages are not completed, you will...
