Congrats, After a PPR 3.5 months back in may, you were patient enough to hold on your anxiety to wait for so long for your ECOPR. What is your secret to remain sane?

Since Eligibility is already completed, and you've previously given your biometrics for your WP, there really isn't anything to worry about (because they probably wouldn't have issued your WP if there was an issue there haha). Literally just a waiting game. As hard as it is to do, limit the amount of times you check your portal / Gckey to like once a week at most - say lunch time Tuesdays...Then enjoy yourself, enjoy the weekend.

oh and Beer

Ecopr: Still waiting.
 
Hi All, New to this BBS.

Can I ask when I get the PR email, can I leave Canda before recievin the card?

If your PR application is still in process, you can still leave and come back on your TRV

If you have received your eCOPR but still waiting for your card, you can still leave BUT you will need a PRTD to return. You will not be allowed on a plane back to Canada without your PR Card or PRTD because as soon as you receive your eCOPR all other work permits and TRV's are cancelled.

Portal 1 Email - 25th AUg-2023 (Responded with required details, same day)

Portal 2 Email, eCOPR & PR Cards - Awaited

Applied Work Permit Extension - 19th May 2023 as Work Permit expiring on 28th Sept-2023.

As my wife is getting cancer treatment in home country, I applied for visitor visa as had no travel document to come back.

Got Visitor VISA approval Email today. Sent Passport to IRCC Ottawa. As per the approval letter, passport will be returned back within 14 days + shipment days.

Need Help to Understand: Thanks in advance, please

  1. Whether visitor visa would delay my Portal 2 Email?
  2. Should I wait for PR cards to travel to be with my wife? OR should wait for eCOPR and travel with the same?
  3. I believe my work permit extension application will be aborted when PR cards are being processed. Whether my travel with visitor visa / eCOPR would have delay my PR cards?
Your suggestions, based on experience, are important and helpful, please.

1. No

2. Once you have been issued eCOPR your visitor Visa will be cancelled. You will then need a PR card or a PRTD to travel back to Canada. An eCOPR is not a Travel document. If you have received eCOPR but need to leave the country to be with your wife before you receive your PR Card, then the only option is to apply for the PRTD the country you'll be going back too (note this can take 3-4 weeks to receive - so if you're going to be there for at least that time, then that's the best option for you. If you don't need to be back with your wife right away, then expect to wait 45-60 days to receive your PR Card once you've received your eCOPR.

3. If you get eCOPR before the work permit extension is approved, they will cancel the application and issue any refunds (if applicable). Visitor Visa's and eCOPRs/PR Cards are processed by different teams, they don't really talk to one another and they don't seem to check either other applications either. Your PR Card application is automatically started in once you get your eCOPR.
