Sorry to post here too. But I am panicking. Hi everyone! It has been a while since I last visited this forum. Please help. My in-laws who we sponsored 2022 finished their application and got their CoPR last May 2024. My question is us my husband who is the sponsor is changing address this month, and my in-laws are landing November do I need to inform IRCC for the new address or my in-laws would just need to inform the IO in Vancouver the change of address. Because the CoPR they have on hand would be our previous address come November. Anyone who had an experience with this. Thank you guys!
Good thing is you have time on your side. While I personally don't think you need to inform IRCC of change of addres since the application is processed and approved (I maybe wrong), what you could do is to call IRCC and ask them if they still need to be notified? that way you will hear from directly from horse's mouth and it should help you in figuring out your next step.
Good luck.

Need Help Please !

We received Passport submission request in early July 2024 for my mothers PGP application.

She is US Green card holder and permanent address given is of USA. Now immediately after we received the request to submit passport she was planning to visit me in Canada, so we submitted the passport to CPCO Ottawa PO Box address as mentioned in the request, once she was in Ontario.

Now its over 13 weeks have not received the passport. Agents in call center just have one answer to wait. Some say that since applicant was in Canada when passport was sent, its a virtual landing process, buts still no solution as to when and how can we get passport back, if sent by mistake.

I did fill the urgent passport retrieval email twice but no progress.

I am stuck, mom needs to travel to USA and we or agents have no clue as to when, where and why passport is stuck.

What to do next?

Tried reaching out local MPP but waiting on response.

Any email or contact address or phone number for CPCO Ottawa?

Help needed and thank you.

It is a tough one. I have never come across such a situation and sadly can't add anything here except that I hope that you get a response soon and the passport is retrieved asap.

Got PR CARD for in laws yesterday. online it is still showing in review with IRCC. The application was in land with 2 portal emails. Good luck to everyone who are waiting.
How did you know that your eCOPR is available for download? Were you notified by email or were there any status change in the PR portal?

Today I received a letter of being ineligible to sponsor my parents due to default on previous spousal sponsorship. I did not know my ex had received social assistance. Is there a way to reverse this? They said they are moving my application along because that is what I had wanted even I was ineligible. What can I do? If paying the funds back will solve the matter and keep the current application alive?

Sorry to hear that. Maybe should consult with an IRCC accredited immigration lawyer. You don't want to miss out due to lack of correct information. Good luck.
