    PR Card timeline - 2023

    CEC Inland - VO: Montreal 8/14: eCOPR 11/7: GU1 So far this is as far as I've gotten. Spoken to IRCC agents twice, once to update address on my profile (roughly around 11/1) and then again last week. Agent on call #2 said my photo has been approved, but my address apparently has yet to be...

    VO MONTREAL <<CONNECT HERE TO SEE TIMELINE TRENDS>>

    Same boat here. Got portal 1 in late June but was about to leave Canada for roughly a month for a trip. Responded right away and an agent got back within a few days saying to respond to same email again upon long-term return to Canada to avoid having to go through non-inland landing. I responded...

    Paper BOWP Processing Times After 1st Attempt was Lost by IRCC

    Bit a unique situation here. I got AOR for my eAPR (CEC) on April 25th, applied for a BOWP on paper, and it was received at the Edmonton Case Processing Centre on May 2nd. Quoted processing time on day of mailing was 12 days for a paper app. It hovered around 12-15 days for the two weeks...

    Do biometrics pass through to other IRCC visa applications that are in progress?

    I received eAPR AOR on 4/25/23, and just received my BIL yesterday, 5/31. I completed them this morning, and it occurred to me that I had also paid the biometrics fee as part of my BOWP application that I submitted shortly after my eAPR. Does my biometrics automatically get applied to my BOWP...

    Paper BOWP Application Seemingly Lost - Next Steps?

    Agreed, however with a difference in quoted processing times between online/paper of over 10x and the link I previously provided, I'm certainly inclined to have applied on paper. However, it appears to come with its difficulty. What I'm hung up on was the contact centre agent saying there should...

    Paper BOWP Application Seemingly Lost - Next Steps?

    Applied for BOWP on paper, mailed on April 29th, received at Edmonton processing centre on May 1st per CanadaPost tracking number. Still waiting on communication of any sort. Did you apply for your BOWP online or on paper? Processing times as of the time I mailed it for paper were at 12 days...

    Paper BOWP Application Following eAPR (Express Entry, CEC)

    Curious as to what other's experience has been when applying for a BOWP on paper following an electronic PR application via express entry (for me, specifically Canadian Experience Class). I applied for PR on April 25th, 2023, receiving my AOR same day. I submitted my BOWP paper application...
