Inland PR application success for my wife. Does she need to leave and enter?

[55way]

After almost 2 years my wife's inland PR application has completed much to our joy. She has told me though, that she had heard from other friends who got their PR that they must leave and enter Canada after receiving their PR card for it to be finalized. I have never read anything to this effect. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other? Thanks.

No, that's just an option for outland apps. For inland you need to phone and make a landing appointment.

Thank you for confirming. She has already gone to the Immigration Canada office and received her temporary PR confirmation paper until her permanent card arrives. We have also registered her for her SIN and OHIP. So I guess that is all there is to it.

Inland applicants must wait until they are notified of their landing appointment/interview.

In the case of the OP, his wife has already attended the meeting and is now waiting for the PR card to arrive in the mail.

Oops, I was reading COPR not PR card.
