Hi,

I need urgent help / advice.

I recently recieved my COPR document and plan to travel in 2 months.

When we applied, myself and my dependant were common law partners, however during the waiting time for PPR we got married. We informed CIC about this change and thought everything was fine.

Our COPR now states we are common law. Do we need the COPR documents to be reissued or can we travel and amend at the port of entry?

(Already tried contacting local VO and raised a web form - just receive a generic response)

Anyone been through a similar situation?

Help!!

Hi

You can land. Just update CBSA and let them know that you did inform IRCC.
 
Has anyone done this before?

Are you sure we won't be rejected at the border?

It seems like a small mistake made by the local VO, and it's not been helped by the vague responses to my web form query ...

You have proof that you informed them when you raised a CSE and got the response.
Like Canuck said, you can land. It's not a severe issue. You'll just need to inform them at the POE that you notified IRCC beofre and after.
Alternatively, contact your local visa office for a re-issue attaching the proof that you informed CIC when you got married.

Yes, people have done it before. The change from married to common-law has no effect on the app, as the dependent is already included, so it's fine.

Hi Saddlers, I'm in the same situation. We received PPR just before getting married. We applied together as common-law partners.
Even though we sent web forms, placed a call, and sent a letter of explanation with proof, we still received our CoPRs indicating common-law.
Can you share how your case unfolded?
Cheers
