CEC Outland Applicant

- Start date
With the news of borders soon opening for discretionary travel, wondering if any outland CEC applicants are considering entering Canada as a visitor and awaiting COPR? While probably not previously recommended (https://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1018&top=16), I ask because IRCC has started my PR confirmation in the new portal - it's awaiting my in-Canada declaration - and it seems the turnaround on e-COPR for inlanders is a couple weeks. Does anyone know if this is feasible?
I don’t think so unless they are from countries in Europe that vaccination ratio is high
Seems like a risk. There's still no certainty you'd get COPR quicker by being in Canada.
That's pretty fast. But with the ban on flight to/from India extended it seems odd.
I heard that they are not going directly due to the ban, and connecting from different countries to reach Canada. Not sure about their plan.
I guess all CEC outland will get COPR's soon.
I'm a bit confused. Has IRCC emailed to ask if you are in Canada? In other words, you are fully approved? What is your AOR and country of residence?
AOR: Nov 17 2020
Residence: USA
I assume fully approved (waiting on GCMS since June 7) bc I received the portal credentials email at the end of May 2021. The credentials email asked if I wanted to use the portal but didn't specify I had to already be in Canada to reply yes to them. I now have an account in this PR confirmation portal, and the first step is to complete my in-Canada declaration. After this I'm to submit my mailing address and photo for PR card, but in the meantime the portal should issue me an e-COPR.
Oh I see! Well that's good news for 2020 outlanders! It seems like you're on your way, if you just enter Canada... I wish we had more of a sense about how long that step takes
Just called IRCC. Everything is approved, pending copr! Aor oct 26
Good luck, but everything on my file is approved since early March and nothing changed after that.

Hey @MissyJ2 Congratulation on approvals
Also how do you reach IRCC from outside Canada. I am trying since long using skype linked with Canadian number but it says your call cannot be completed as dialed after ringing. It would be great help if you could provide some help.
Thanks,
Mamta
Did they give any indication on when you might get the COPR?
It's been a month today since they began allowing COPR holders to enter Canada, so I kind of expected some movement, at this point, on outland applications that have been approved for months.
They don't know when it will change. I'm just glad I'm approved. Hopefully they will issue our coprs by the end of the year...
