No I don’t believe both sponsor and PA were needed, but I was off and wanted to be there with my wife as she validated her COPR. In terms of questions, I honestly don’t believe they asked her anything much other than validated where our mailing address was etc. It can only be done Tues-Thurs...

I don’t understand how they were maxed out either, especially since they supposedly do it from 8am-12am, but that was our experience. We ended up going to another bridge (Rainbow) two days ago. Got there just before 8am and got placed in the intake area. Within minutes someone else came in to...

I have no idea how they were maxed out so we were surprised when we got there. And this was on a Wednesday afternoon. Someone else commented saying that avoid the weekend and you’ll be fine, definitely not the case. I’m trying to book an appointment but that process is terribly inefficient. I’m...

Just crossing the border and the turning back to the Canadian side. No, any of the crossings should do (definitely Peace and Rainbow are capable of processing the COPR too).

Tried to flagpole today with my wife to validate her COPR, but sadly the location was maxed out (Queenston-Lewiston). Going to try to book an appointment now in the Etobicoke officers since I don’t feel like wasting another day only to get told they are full again. Really disappointed though as...

The letter mentioned there would be, unless it’s a generic template.

Thanks for the prompt response. Do you know anything about the interview process?

Received my wife’s COPR papers in the mail! So now we just need to cross the border and she can get her PR! Still not sure when we can do it, but anyone happen to know how l

Hi folks, wondering if anyone can confirm if we should be concerned or not. We submitted the required documents for PPR and it was received by CPC-Ottawa a week ago but we haven’t received COPR as of yet. Should we be worried that there’s an issue or am I just being impatient? Appreciate any...

Can anyone advise on the timelines to receive the COPR after the PPR is delivered to CPC? No one in the January Outland document has listed a COPR date. Thanks.

We submitted only 20 pics as instructed, and it was a difficult task since we had been together for 3.5 years at the time of the application, plus we had two weddings (one in Canada and one in US), so there was a lot of potential photos to select, but we did what we felt showcased our...

Good morning folks. Just wanted to ask something regarding the PPR... CIC requests that a prepaid envelope be sent to them alognside the necessary passport/photocopy and photos. For this return envelope, is it simply to receive the COPR documents, or is it to also return our application? I ask...

Thanks, I guess what we received was the PPR which leads to the COPR.

Understood, I guess this is the PPR rather than COPR, which also means the photocopy rather than the original in this context. Thanks for your responses and for explaining flagpoling.

I don't believe there was any issue with the original photos included as the letter we received today was generic in that it just said we need to include 2 photos meeting their standards. We did those late last year just before we submitted the application, so confused why we need them again...

The letter from CIC mentions that the processing of the application is almost complete and that we have to send the aforementioned with a prepaid return envelope for them to issue the Confirmation of Permanent Residence. It states that if you're from the US that you need to provide a photocopy...

Looks like my wife just got COPR! I will update the tracker with this info asap, but I do have a few questions, hoping someone can confirm. 1) She is American, currently staying with me in Canada as a visitor, so my understanding is she doesn't need to send her original passport, but just a...

No, we didn't receive any such email after completing bio-metrics... not sure what it references to be honest.

From what I read on the CIC site, a Canadian PR has to live in Canada for 2 years out of a 5 year period, not all at once, but a minimum of ~2years.

Ya got plenty of savings in TFSAs, RRSPs, etc so not a problem from that perspective.
