Yes. The wait is painful but it’s not forever. I mailed my paper inland application last day of July 2022. The confirmation I received from IRCC came in two weeks after so I could see my application online. Hope it helps. Wishing you all the best with your application. Hope you’ll get the...

My background check started in mid-September 2022 and only got complete some time in August 2023. The final approval email came in a few days after the background check was complete. If AR you were asking about is the Acknowledge of Receival, I got it some time in July 2022 a few days after I...

Yes. I contacted my local MP. All they were able to confirm is that the background check was being done by CBSA not IRCC. There's no communication on that end at all. Just waiting

Mine was >9 months. Nothing you can do. Even MP didn't help. Probably the application is being screened by CSIS or CBSA. They have no deadlines or communication.

Alberta. And the pr card mail came from Sydney, NS

Took me exactly one week. GU2 on Thursday, card came in next week Friday

Hi, My father applied in March 2022 and only got his visitor visa in late March 2023. In the invitation letter I mentioned that he is visiting to attend my wedding in Canada yet they issued his visa many months after the wedding passed. IRCC does not care about your plans and timelines at all...

You can only see GUs on GCKey. Not on PR portal

This is my final timeline: eCOPR - August 25 GU1 on GCKEY - October 3 GU2 on GCKEY (we mailed your PR card...) - October 13 PR card received in mail - October 20 (the envelope came from Sydney, NS) VO: Montreal Good luck everyone! P.S.: PR portal still shows the address and the photo are...

Thanks. Here it is eCOPR - August 25 GU1 on GCKEY - October 3 GU2 on GCKEY (we mailed your PR card...) - October 13 VO: Montreal

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive a PR card by mail after the GU2? Do regular Canada Post delivery timelines apply for a PR card delivery or it's just as random as everything else?

You can travel. I travelled twice this year with a valid PGWP and a valid TRV while my pr application was in process (inland spousal). No issues at the border at all. Before travelling I messaged the IRCC on twitter (it was in March) and they confirmed travelling is no problem if your PGWP and...

I got a notification that my PR card was mailed to me today. The application is approved and closed. However, my PR portal (just checked) still shows that my address and photo are both under review with IRCC. I'm not 100% sure if there is a good communication between GCKey and PR portal

GU stands for Ghost Update (your account gets updated but you don't receive an email notification neither you see any changes done to your application). After you received your eCOPR and linked your application to GC Key you normally should be expecting two GUs. First one probably indicates...

Yeah, I've read a lot of stories like this here. Very unfortunate. Seems like IRCC knows exactly who needs to travel and puts their cases away (joking)

Thank you! No, I didn't do anything as I have no travel plans any time soon.

I see the difference between visa offices (Montreal vs other locations). I am not so familiar with other types of applications unfortunately. Maybe someone who knows more will comment here
