Forgot to mention they fixed few typos made during their application data entry while checking the status and it wasn’t found last week when I called. I must thank the agent who found it.

do you need to have your copy of your ID's signed by gurantor if you do walk in or you can just show them original and they can just verify ?
they just see the original ids and return. Dont need to be signed by the guarantor.

What kind of typos? I have a slight change in my city of birth than CoPR (I replaced one letter to match the official spelling of the city, i.e., I wrote it wrong in my PR application), but it's not a typo. I wonder if this will cause any issue in my application

Did you submit your copr ? If not I don’t see any issue there to cause confusion. Birth place is not something you need to prove I think.

The typos were made by them during data entry like missing couple of letters in my name and address

No, I didn't. That's exactly right. Actually the city of birth doesn't appear in my birth certificate nor in my passport. Only the country of birth appears on both documents, and that's why I didn't pay much attention to the city of birth's spelling before. Only when I realized it appears on the Canadian passport I did my research and changed it.

You just need to mention the last 2 years and not leave any gap. For example
3/2020-5/2021: address in Canada
5/2021-11/2021 address in home country
11/2021-present: address in Canada

On hold now, just kept calling back as soon as I hung up each time (after the 'sorry' message), and then got through. There were 526 calls ahead of me at the start and now down to 426 after about 19 minutes.
