Correct PR FROM date

[JSK_92]

Hi all,

I will be filling my PR card renewal application later this year. In the form (IM5444), there is a field (Date you became a PR in Canada) it says the following:

1.4 – Date you became a PR in Canada
Write the date you became a permanent resident of Canada. You can find this on your Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688).

I don’t have the IMM 1000 currently but will the date asked be the same as on the back of my PR card? The PR card itself has a field saying “PR Since: xyz date”.
I ask this because on my COPR the date is different because I got it in March 2020 and then I landed in Canada in August 2020 and got my PR card thereafter.

Thanks

It should be date you landed in Canada as PR not when you get COPR .

Ok. So basically the date behind my pr card saying “PR Since: <date> August 2020. That’s also the date I landed in Canada as a PR.

thanks.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks. I got confused bcz I had heard Mr Kubeir Kamal mention the date kn copr to be the PR date in one of his videos a while ago.

But logically too it doesn’t makes sense bcz this way a person getting PR from let’s say India will lose a couple of months out of the five years residency obligation. People don’t just travel to Canada in a week or so after getting their copr lol

Stay away from YouTube and other online sources that are not IRCC. They provide a lot of wrong or misleading advice.

The date one became a PR will typically be on the signed/executed version (i.e. after the officer completes at airport), but written by hand. But saying "COPR date" leads to potential confusion. "PR since: [date]" on PR card is more reliable.

Many do actually.
