PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

[amitgupta.1984]

Hi All,

It will be great if you clarify on the below

I received eCOPR on 8th May after uploading the photo and address in the new portal link, photo is still under review status with IRCC.
VO: Etobicoke

1. May I know how long it takes to received the PR card , do I have any other process pending to receive PR card.
2. Do we need to send passport to any office to get any visa stamping details in the passport

Thank you

Did you get the portal url ?

Update?

If I call IRCC (888 2422100), would they be able to let me know if they received the mail with the photos? Or they are unable to know since it's under Etobicoke office?

Ontario government is extending the provincewide stay-at-home order until June 2.

I feel everyone's pain! How can we submit through the portal or can we not after sending in the mail? Has anyone spoken to their MP about this to try to put pressure on? It's ridiculous and upsetting during a pandemic when people are most likely to need to travel for an emergency yet are trapped in Canada by this archaic system!

I dont understand one thing. Why we didnt get the portal link, i got my copr in end of march, but i was asked to submit the photos via mail. I am really confused why it is not same for eveeryone ?

It depends on the officer who is finalizing your file at your local IRCC. It really is just random, there’s nothing more to it

I couldn't agree more. When their systems and processes are already stretched out then, they must not repeat the same mistake to instruct applicants to mail the photos. Instead they must use digital means as much as possible to avoid any manual processing and to allow their staff to work from home.

It wonders me a lot when the whole eAPR process is digital then, why don't they allow digital photo submission as well?

Another impact of this unimaginable delay in delivery of PR Card
Today was my friend's closing of mortgage from TD bank. TD needs a Canada issued photo id. My friend has Ontario DL but wife does not have DL or even Provincial ID. Foreign Passport is not acceptable by TD. Ontario health card is also not acceptable.

There will be many more hidden impacts because PR card is the only document to prove the PR status in Canada. Everywhere the unsigned eCOPR may not accepted because it is generated using MS word just copy and paste and every bank will not call IRCC to validate COPR.

The PR card has other valid usage apart from the travel. I hope they act on it and issue our cards soon.
