Your application for permanent residence has been approved. The final step in
processing your application is to confirm your permanent residence and create your
permanent resident card. You will complete this process through the Permanent
Resident Portal (PR Confirmation).
In the portal, you will confirm that you and your dependants are in Canada, provide your
Canadian address and submit your photo to create your permanent resident card.

Thanks for sharing and congrats!

I am wondering if your status in IRCC website has ever changed after it showed "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided", and I assumes yours are "hukou and PCC" as well?

Hi folks,

I received a letter stating Pre- Arrival services today the 24 August a day after I received the sponsor approval letter on 23 Aug 2022. Already got the biometrics, medical and pcc cleared. Also got a request to submit proof for my parents relationship and I uploaded it on 30 June 2022. Please can you suggest when we may get the passport request and COPR? I saw someone on this forum got passport request a day after they got the pre arrival services letter.

Appreciate if someone can answer this for me. I am excited to see progress and hope all of you hear back on your applications soon.

Congratulations. Nice to see that the file moves very fast.

Hi there, I was in the same, I just did that few weeks ago. What I was doing wrong was the UCI number. You have to put the applicants UCI number, not the sponsor's. And the number in the end should be the sponsors+parents+dependants (if your parents has a dependent who you are sponsoring as well). In my case it was me(sponsor)+my husband(co-sponsor)+my parents=4.
Hope this will help

Tried as you directed (applicant's UCI and application number, Applicant's UCI and family Name etc), still no luck.

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone received a Biometric request recently after getting status changed from "Returned to Submitted"? Can you please share how long it took after the status change.

Thanks

Hello - My parents are here in Canada and I tried changing their address through web form but yesterday I received a reply saying

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Your request for a change of contact information for UCI XXXXXXXX was not completed

We could not change your address for one of the following reasons:

• Invalid method chosen/ Méthode invalide choisie

Anyone tried changing the address? Can someone guide me on the process? I used the URL -> https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx and selected "Change of Contact Information" under type of application.
