Nope, you didn't mess it up. After uploading the photo and address, you received the eCoPR, then the application for first PR card is automatically submitted. The only thing you need to do is wait. After about 70 days (according to the official site), if you don't get any update, you could call them. You could also link the PR card application with your GCkey account, it is different than your PR applicationHello, this may seem like a silly question. So I received my eCOPR in July, after I had submitted my photo, confirmed my address etc. On that same page, I read that my PR card would be mailed to me -- so I assumed that's the final step to take.
I did not apply for a PR card until today. There's this separate application on the PR portal where you pay $50 for the PR card. So my question is, did I completely mess up in this process, and waited since July for nothing? :O Help!
