    As a quick update, the application status has been reflected as "Approved" on the GCKey today. It'd odd that we've not received any PPR to date, and I'm assuming HKVO will mail out COPR directly.

    @YULIA-2016 @robertp @laxsun @jayeshaminnew @serious_cheese please kindly update the tracker timeline under username "jackhcd": Application Approved (reflected on GCKey) on September 21, 2020 Interestingly it's been over 4 weeks since "Decision Made" on eCAS and no PPR email is received to...

    Precisely it implies that the eligibility is passed. Once your background check (criminality + security) plus medical are cleared your eCAS status will change to "Decision Made". "In October 2017, IRCC implemented an automated process to send an invitation letter to all eligible newcomers when...

    By the way I just got off the phone with an IRCC agent regarding medical exam validity. When an officer finalizes the PR application he/she has two options: 1.) requesting for medical exam again; 2.) granting extension (unknown duration) and this is up to officer's own discretion. In your case...

    Your case will certainly not be refused due to medical expiry. Before pandemic people will just be asked to redo medical exams. Though this might be a rumor recently I’ve heard that medical expiry for PR applicants are automatically extended (considering huge backlog with pandemic). No official...

    Congratz on your DM2 and you did the right thing by informing CPC-M that your parents are now residing in Canada + address update. While CPC-M is currently picking up the pace clearing the backlog I believe you will be contacted at some point of time to go through virtual landing (instead of...

    Thank you - this is very helpful! I’ll continue to follow-up with HKVO closely to get PPR/COPR issued.

    Thank you! While I live in Toronto my parents are currently residing in Taiwan. I forgot to mention that IRCC agent gave me a call on August 28 inquiring whether both my parents were currently residing in Canada. They are conducting a pilot for the approved applicants & dependents (they all need...

    Congratulations!! Your hard work has been paid off. My decision made was on August 24 and have not received any PPR ever since. Please keep me posted if there's any update from your end. :)

    While the timeline cannot be estimated, I found a youtube video sharing the recent virtual COPR/landing process which you may find helpful:

    It depends case-by-case. My biometrics request came 6 months after my IME & pcc requests (my LVO's with Hong Kong).

    Thanks for sharing the resource. By no means of killing people's buzz I just want to again highlight the following rule as per latest IRCC guideline: "You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can come to Canada if you have a valid COPR and: the COPR was issued on or before...

    Though my case isn't with CPC-M, in my recent phone call with IRCC they mentioned they were just resuming back-to-work last week.

    This seems to be a test pilot coping with recently-approved applicants residing in Canada. On August 24 the eCAS status for PA changed to "decision made"; on August 28 I received a call from IRCC inquiring whether both my parents are currently residing in Canada. If yes, they'll proceed with...

    I may have erroneously paid for biometrics - is this a big deal?

    HI there, In your case (spousal sponsorship) the biometric fee is certainly required. The permanent resident card question refers to the newly landed immigrant/individuals renewing the PR card. If IRCC deem you do not need biometrics for your case, the fee will be refunded directly to the...

    Until the travel restriction/rules are loosened, your brother cannot come validate his COPR along with your parents at the same time. He could still come (as a visitor) but will not be able to complete his landing unless your parents have become PR first. I'd suggest following the latest...
