AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

[Epi]

yes You can change it afterwards. Mail would be sufficient and if you dont get reply in time then giving them a call is always a good option.

rest ask legalFalcon, he might add something more to it

Hi everyone, my first post in the forum. Thank you all for sharing so many precious info!
My status: inland CEC.

I have a similar issue to savioceg. I received the AOR on November 16th, so I might be close to get the PPR. However, I have a trip to Switzerland scheduled at the end of April that will take me abroad for 9 days. I checked the datasheet, and the process of sending the passport and receiving the CoPR requires approx. 2 weeks.
So my question is: how many days are available to send the passport after receiving PPR? I will not be able send my passport (i.e. travel document) for at least 3 weeks starting from today, and I cannot cancel my trip.
Also: I am from Italy and I don't need a visa to visit Canada, I have read somewhere that I don't need to send the passport as a scan would be enough. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the advice

After PPR you have 30 days to submit your passport for stamping. But if you come from a visa exempt country, they dont need your passport. So i think in your case you should be fine.

Well stay postive...think about it this way.....

there are lots of others who have not even got an ITA yet or got nominated so we are lucky to have come so far, and if we have come so far we will defo make it.

so stay positive and i would say go pick that camera up and shoot lot of beautiful pictures.

all the best and hopefully we will have PPR soon

Thanks nmeka for the good news, 30 days should be enough to send the passport in case they request it. And if they don't, even better. What would happen if I get the CoPR while I am away? Would I do the landing upon my return? In that case, I might need to leave with the necessary landing documents just in case this happens.

As long as you have a valid status in Canada, you can always come back from your trip and pick all the required documents along with COPR and drive to any border to finish your landing or you can schedule an appoint at CIC offices(right now its taking around 3-6 weeks to get an appointment in Toronto).
Enjoy your trip to Swiss, very nice place. I been there.

Are you guys calling CIC yet? Or just waiting?

I'm seriously wondering if I should call and ask what is happening. According to the GCMS notes, my application was last touched in Dec or Jan. And everything in there including R10, FOSS check etc. say they're all cleared. So I really don't understand what is the delay. It is 153 days now. Should I call?...

Unless you get the world's most helpful call centre agent, they will just tell you that you are within the 6 month processing time and to call back once that has passed.

Hang in there!

Yeah. I called anyway just for the hell of it. The automated system said "high volume of calls, sorry try later" but I kept trying and finally got thru on the 5th or 6th attempt. To my surprise, I got a very polite, understanding agent on the phone! She tried to ask me upfront when I submitted the application and I told her I got nominated by Ontario in Sept/Oct so then she went "when did you make the application??". Then I had to tell her clearly that I'm waiting since Nov. Then she goes "I cannot access your app if you haven't crossed the 6 month mark. Please be patient and call in May." At least she was polite.

One more thing, she said in addition to mycic, one can also check thru ecas. Then I told her, I thought ecas has been discontinued for EE applicants. She said No, not according to the info we have.

So it seems we can still use ECAS !!?!
