Hi everyone,
I got my ecopr on March 23rd and no updates since then. I have linked my pr card application to my gckey account as well.
I have plans to visit the US by private vehicle and I'm not sure if I will be able to come back to Canada without a pr card. With IRCC workers going on strike, I'm afraid I won't get the pr card on time. Do I need to apply for a PRTD before coming back to Canada? How long does it take?

Hello all, after receiving ECOPR, do we as an applicant have to do or fill up any other form to receive PR card? I am CEC Inland no dependent applicant.

You don’t need to do anything, they will initiate the PR card application for you. In the meantime, you can link your application to your MyCIC account for tracking.

Durian, will we get email once photo is approved?
I’m not sure, I’m not at that step yet :D once the address is approved you get eCOPR, but the photo stays in review - this is my current state. Once it’s approved, the card would be sent to production. From what I read you’ll receive GU for photo approval, and another GU for card sent to production (?). You can read past posts here for more info.

Yeah same. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to link it to the GC, I checked GC for GUs every day for approval, it was draining. Guess the PR card will come when it comes lol, the eCOPR was the main thing. They can't take that away from me lol

Thank you. Just wanted to confirm that the PR card application number in GC Key login starts with R?

Hi All,

I hope you all are doing well !

I would like to know anyone who got eCOPR between 6th & 10th March 2023, did you get PR card ?

I got eCOPR on 8th March 2023, still there is no update on PR card.
Should we call IRCC or write an email to someone ? Do you have any idea how to expedite PR Card process.

I guess write them and explain the emergency after 35 days from the March 08, 2023 to cover the current processing time. So it is reasonable for both the parties.
