How long does it take CPP-O to stamp PR visas?

[sandyboy388]

So I see there's an additional column "Home Address" in ECAS. Since my representative would get my passport, i'm just wondering if I can assume that it's posted since I see the home address added?

We received our passports back today along with the COPR copies for both. As I am in the US they sent it via regular mail. We are planning to land next month during 4th of July weekend. However I have a question if anyone has faced this earlier.
It says that you will not be eligible for the health insurance for the 1st 3 months. How are people arranging for interim period health insurances and does it actually take 3 months for the health insurance to be active or more.

Congrats! I'm so happy for you. Yours came back very fast considering it was sent back to you via regular mail...

You can apply for the health insurance. It just means that there is a waiting period of 3 months before the coverage takes affect. So if you have other private health insurance you should keep it until the waiting period is over.

Praise God! I finally received the COPR and passports. But guess what!?! They have interchanged my wife's Family Name and Given name Not sure what I need to do.. dreading sending it back as I'm concerned it would take another couple of months to correct it.. Any advice please?....

Finally got my Passport and CoPR after waiting for more than a month. CPP-O used the XpressPost Envelope and the tracker activated yesterday at 17:41.

I think you should send CPP-O an email with the scanned copy of the CoPR that has the error (highlighting the error) and send the PP to them if the visa has the same mistake.

I hope you get the corrected one soon!

I would still try to land with it. Not sure how far you are from the border but it would not hurt. When you land just don't mention to them the error. let them tell you

Thanks for your suggestion, Chriscats and CuriousGuy. Yeah, I plan to land with the same COPR and hopefully the officer at the point of entry can make corrections for the PR card.

I will be landing before my wife as I have to travel to the US this week and plan to take my wife to the border next weekend. Hopefully everything goes well.

Thanks so much...Yes looks like after they received it on 22nd May, the visa was stamped on June 7th after which it took 10 days to reach US......I will have to figure out on the health insurance before I land there, because my plans are to go and land and then come back to the US for few months....so I may need health insurance for 1-2 days during my stay in Canada...I am looking into the canadainternational.gc.ca website to figure out something.

Hey Sandyboy,

Let me know how it goes. Seems you are planning for the landing on 1st July weekend. Let me know if the officer makes teh corrections at the Port of entry. I have a similar issue with my wife where the last name has been spelt incorrectly. I sent a mail to CPP Ottawa but it has been 2 weeks and no reply. I am also now planning to land with the error.
