To my knowledge, new PRs can bring any amount of fund and can declare it here including properties during first tax filing.
It is however, better to consult with tax professionals for the future implications of declaring the properties in the country of origin.
I think a demand draft is economical and acceptable way of bringing funds to Canada.

I have similar timelines… but cpc mississauga seems to be sleeping since day 1 ….

can you tell me what email address u received the PR portal link? Is it the sponsor email ? Or the principal applicant email?

PDF letter was addressed to the principal applicant, which came with an email. I used one email (mine) for all communication.

Hi All,

I wonder, could somebody please explain why my ecas status shows "2 decision made", while "My Account" shows that "we are processing your background check".
What should we expect?

Thank you!

Finally, there is a change in my parents' application.
The application changed to the decision made for PA on Saturday, March 13.
Please update the tracker.

Another update,
Just now, I received the passport request for my parents. I have to submit the passports within 30 days.
Please update the tracker. I think my process is complete now

One question: at the bottom of the passport request it has an information section stating this:

"Until further notice, most foreign nationals cannot travel to Canada if their valid CoPR and PRV was issued after March 18, 2020, unless they are exempt from the travel restrictions.
We have issued your documents so that when the restrictions are lifted, you will have your documents ready to travel to Canada.
Please keep your documents in a safe space.
You won’t be allowed to board your flight to Canada at this time."

I think parents are exempt and they can travel am I right?

Pakistani applicants who received PPRs! Has one of your parents served in the Pakistani military or on a government post? My theory is that the background check is significantly longer for people with govt. or military backgrounds. Information will help me estimate the approximate time it takes to get through the background check.

Congratulations on your parents' PPR.
Parents are exempt as they are considered immediate family members.

Also anyone know cic phone contact number?

Try this but not sure if it has changed.
CIC Phone # 1888-242-2100. Then press 2-1-3-0 right after you heard options to select.

Hello,

Do we know usually how long the regional immigration office (NDVO) is taking to process the passport stamps & COPR ?

Are they in same country? I think IRCC asks to submit both Primary and Dependent passport together as one package. You can all and ask the agent to be 100% sure.
