PR Card Timeline (Through Online Portal after ECOPR)

[CNP]

Thank you Brother, really appreciate your help. I finally was able to link the pr card application to GC Key. There is no progress, everything is under process. What is current timeline for it? I submitted photo and address on 16 August 2023.

Also in GC Key it says application submitted today (date when I linked my application to GC key), Does that mean they will start my process now?

Great to know. How did you link it ? check current timeline for PR card processing - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html

Also in GC Key it says application submitted today (date when I linked my application to GC key), Does that mean they will start my process now? - No, process started when you received your CoPR.

 

[At the start]

I was entering POB as per ECOPR, when I entered as per passport, it worked.

Hi! Pls help
My fiancé was able to link his PR portal with his GC key and we got the following information..
Ecopr was received in 2022
Final decision: March 4,2022
Status updated date: January 13, 2023
Expiry date: March 19,2027

Status: Your document is invalid
He has filled the web-form twice between August till date to understand why he has not received his PR card till date, however no response is received. We have also tried to call them with these steps: call IRCC at 1 (888) 242-2100 . When you call IRCC, It will ask you for the UCI , press 2 i.e. no UCI available and then as soon as the message for AF and UK refugees start playing press 3 3 0 in quick succession you will be able to reach them .

FYI: he changed his address in January 2022, a couple of months after he submitted his PR application in 2021, we are assuming this is the reason why his PR card is not received yet and invalid, however we are unable to get confirmation and information on next steps. please help, as our lives have been on hold for almost 4 years due to this. Do we need to employ the services of an immigration lawyer?
Hope to hear from you soon, thanks!

I am CEC inland and my dependant (husband) is outland.

My husband received the ready for visa in gckey but I haven't received my PR portal login details yet to land virtually.

Can he submit his passport for printing while I wait for my login details and ecopr?

your post is a bit confusing, the expiry is shown as 2027 and still it says invalid ? You are looking for status of your PR card, what is the GCKey status of PR card (not PR application)

 

[At the start]

It has been 2 months since I got eCoPR, still no update on PR card. Photo and address were uploaded on 16 august 2023. I linked PR card application a week ago, does that mean they will count application time form the linking date? Should I wait or call the IRCC?

Time is counted from date you received eCOPR. Linking date has no impact on processing time. There are many who are not able to link and still receive PR cards, so they are not dependent at all.

That’s correct and this is why we’re also confused. In GC Key, It’s says the application was approved on March 4,2022 and the document’s 5 year validity is currently running from March 4 2022 - March 19,2027. However in GCkey we have a document number but document status in GC key says “Your document is invalid” and we’ve also not received the PR card since it’s approval in 2022. Only ECOPR was sent.

Ecopr is valid for one year only I think.

Thanks for the link, but we’ve combed through all the links, online help options, calls and sent web form twice. Kindly advise if there’s a way to get a contact person who can help with this or if we need to employ the services of an immigration lawyer. Thanks

The only option then is to keep calling, you will eventually be able to talk to an agent.

The PR card application status is showing as 'Submitted' under GCKey after linking. What does this mean?

Hello good day!
- I received eCoPR on August 10th
- I linked my PR card to Gckey on Sept 17th and all it says on Gckey current status is summited
I don't see any GU1 or GU2 anywhere, did you ever receive any ghost updates? did you receive you PR yet? any experience you could share I would greatly appreciate
