No, there will be no email. You will directly get Portal email.

Hi guys,

I just discovered that the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association (CILA) has offered recommendations on how IRCC can improve its PR portals.
This letter is dated Dec 1, 2021. So the eCoPR issue process was screwed from the beginning, and officials do not give a fork about it for the last two years.

Here is an extraction from the letter regarding eCoPRs:

In-Canada applicants are now supposed to be landed as permanent residents using the Permanent Residence Portal. The portal requires that applicants confirm that they are in Canada, a requirement for being landed. Some applicants have then been forced to wait weeks or months between the time they confirm their location in Canada and the time when their signed Confirmation of Permanent Residence document (eCOPR) is issued. IRCC has advised that if an applicant leaves Canada prior to issuance of the eCOPR this will place their landing on hold. This effectively leaves applicants hostage in Canada until their landing is completed. If their status is about the expire, it also necessitates that they apply to extend their status. This is not the best use of everyone’s time, including IRCC’s already overextended resources.

Many applicants complain that the electronically issued and signed eCOPRs are being issued with errors. IRCC has advised that applicants should not use eCOPRs with errors to apply for a permanent SIN or provincial health insurance. They advise that applicants should submit an Application to Amend their eCOPR. Current processing times for an Application to Amend are listed as 6 months. This is unrealistic for applicants who require provincial health insurance or who need to advise Service Canada of their new status for a new permanent SIN. Applicants become permanent residents once their eCOPRs are signed. Errors on the part of IRCC in issuing eCOPRs should not affect their new status. IRCC’s stance on requiring an amended eCOPR to apply for a SIN or provincial health insurance is unreasonable. IRCC has stated that they are looking into this issue but no solution has been provided to date.

One of CILA's recommendations was

Provide a hotline and/or appointments at local IRCC offices to process amendments to COPR’s in-person;

So, TWO years later, there is still no progress with eCoPRs processing. We are still waiting weeks and months, canceling our travel, paying more for education, etc. And seems that nothing will change in the near future. So, guys, we only have to practice our patience and keep waiting. Good luck for us all.

Is anyone surprised that Canada just doesn't have what it takes to go digital? Doesn't surprise me at all.

Everything became green on September 28th on Tracker. What about you?

Thanks, Mine is exactly a month after you. I'm waiting for the emails and the file to progress. From the time it is taking for you all I'm trying to gauge how much mine will take.

Do you receive the card?

No, I haven't received it yet. I am waiting eagerly for the card as well as I have to apply for a job that requires me to submit a copy of the Card.

Anyone here that has medical expiry in April 2024 and p1 and p2 in september and haven't received eCOPR yet? I am stressed about it...

 

[Diego22ms]

I submitted my in-Canada declaration with the pictures for the pr card on October 6th. I just checked the tracker and it shows a COPR number and an expiry date but I never received the eCOPR document. Is this normal?

Me too submitted in-canada declaration on September 1st. No e-copr yet.

 

[Diego22ms]

Yep. It is.

My current work permit expires on January. If I don’t receive the COPR document by then means that I’ll be out of status?

I am in the same state. We will have to apply for bridge work permit.

I am in the same state. We will have to apply for bridge work permit.

Whatever you do, please don't go out of status! Put in your application then hopefully get a refund when you finally get eCOPR.
