Hi all,
Let me share my experience of landing remotely.
I am an inland applicant and is currently reside in Edmonton, AB. I received my hard copy of CoPR in April. Due to Covid-19, we are not allowed to land at a port of entry or make a landing appointment at a local office.
I sent two web forms to IRCC to ask about the validation of my CoPR. The first time, I got a generic response to ask me to wait for new update. The second time, they have forwarded my case to the responsible office but still haven't gotten any other responses.
***Since my CoPR will be expired on Sep 25. On Sep 17, I sent an email with a digital copy of my CoPR to the Edmonton office and told them my CoPR is going to expire soon. I got a response from the Edmonton office on Sep 21 saying that they are pleased to inform me that I am now a permanent resident of Canada.
My advice is to contact your local office (via email) to validate your PR status. *Only contact your local office when your CoPR is going to expire in two weeks. If you CoPR has already expired, you can contact your local office immediately. Hope this helps and good luck.
