I'm a CEC inland applicant. Once I got my COPR by email, I was asked to send my photos to the address on the COPR letter.

Good news is on Sep 22, I got a notification on my online account that my application has been approved and the card has been mailed to my address.

Before that, I did not receive any AOR or any update from them. I noticed there was a ghost update around 2 weeks ago. I called yesterday to ask about the status of my application and the rep told me that she can check to see if the office uploaded my photos to the application which was the case on August 30 so that explains the ghost update.

Hopefully everyone waiting receive their card soon.
Hi,
I also received the Approved notification on Sept 22. Do you have any idea when we can receive it??
Let me know when u get it.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a question regarding the card that they send in mail, as they have my previous address and I recently moved out of there. I have asked the rental agent to check the mailbox for me. Does the mail need a signature?
I am in the same boat
I mailed my application, my time is above. The card should be in the mail BUT, when i logged on, they had my UK address (My address when i was applying for the PR). My PR renewal application had my correct Canadian address.

Can anybody confirm that they use the mailing address on the submitted application, not the old (original) address associated with the pr application?

Got my AOR yesterday as i posted before and today was checking ecas status and it says decision made. Second i am unable to access my son ecas status as no information found. All other applications can be accessed through ecas.

Mine and my daughter current home address is of canada where we are living but mailing address showing of back home of pakistan when i applied for immigration. Anybody have same experiences plz reply what to do …????

I am now in the same boat? what happened in your case? did they send to your current (application) address or they sent it old home country address?

Hey everyone. I remember being able to access my application via a Sign-in Partner when I applied to my visas and PR. I have been trying to access the same website (which I can enter the information from my bank) however I can't seem to find an area where I can access my applications. Do you guys know how to operate on this?

Hello,
Application received 06 April,2021
Started processing: 20th July, 2021
Now it says Decision made but has no date on it.

We have not received any communication since then. It has been more than 165 days since the processing of the application.
We spoke to the helpline and they said your documents(did not mention which documents) have been forwarded to the Etobicoke office. We sent an email to the Etobicoke office for guidance but no reply.
Please give guidance.

You will be able to track and check the status only when the CIC sends you a confirmation email that they received your application...as of know they are sending email to May applicants...you should have received the email..
Its better you send a webmail to them.
@MUSTAFACAN and Everyone -
How soon does CIC send confirmation email, after application is posted to them? Do they email confirmation in 15-20days or it may take 4-5 months to send email confirmation that they received the application?
I am bit concerned because I posted the application on April 20th, and yet, no email confirmation or status update!! I tried to search with Client ID and with PR number, but both gave me result as - "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided."

Hi All,

I have a question about the mail delivery as I have mentioned my previous address in the application and I moved out of there just recently.
Does the mail require a signature of the applicant?
I have told my leasing agent to check the mailbox, will that suffice?

Thanks
no signature is required, i think they sent it through regular mail

For PR renewal can it be checked on gckey? And will it show on ecas if there is a citizenship application already in process?
