Hi Everyone,

I am CEC inland and on April 17, 2020 I received a request letter in my CIC inbox for my dependent's passport (who is overseas) to finalize the process. In the request letter, the opening paragraph states the following

"To finalize your application, we require the following documents from your overseas dependent(s). Passports for dependent(s) should only be submitted after you, the primary applicant has received the confirmation of permanent residence status. As the primary applicant, you will be contacted separately by your local IRCC office in regard to your landing appointment."

From what I understand, I'll receive a separate landing appointment letter for myself as this PPR which was received was pertaining to my spouse. After how many days they contact the primary applicant for landing appointment and considering the current scenario, will it be in-person landing appointment or telephonic? Anyone with the similar experience?

We are in same situation. I also receive same letter on april 3rd but i have not gotten any update after. Below is the reply i got from after i sent inquiry email.

Good Day,

Your application for Permanent residence has just been approved. In general, there is typically a 6-8 weeks delay from when you are approved to when you become permanent resident. At this time, due to COVID-19, we are limited to the number of staff as well as our ability to process applications.

We appreciate your patience during this time.

Thank you,

I have Not got COPR either. My Landing interview was scheduled on Mar 27th and got cancelled. Have not got any PR status email. I am going to call IRCC now, may be once every week, and raise webform.

Thanks for your reply. I will ask my agent to do that for me too today. Let's keep each other updated here.

Did not understand this. How did you have a landing interview scheduled if you do not have a COPR? I thought that landing interviews are scheduled only after the COPR counterfoil is issued by IRCC (after PPR). Is it different in your case?

I heard that not all people are getting Copr and ppr. Some inland applicants are getting landing interview letter(interview time is already scheduled by the officer) directly and get confirmed(officially signed) Copr in person right after the interview at ircc office.

That is right. In many cases, Inland applicants get their COPR in their Landing Interview. They do not get it before.

Hey, Thank you for providing an update and congratulations to you. This was the information I was looking for. As per the GCMS notes (as of 4th April), my application was approved in 2nd week of March and has been assigned to Etobicoke IRCC. I am still waiting for my landing appointment.

Hi,

Just like you guys, i am also in the same situation. I got my application approved last March 03 and send our passports the following day. We received in back last March 16 with COPR and till now it was not confirmed yet. I raised a WEBform a week after and received a reply by the end of March saying to wait for further instructions. Till then i did not received/hear anything from IRCC. Last friday, i sent another WEBFORM asking if I could do a telephone confirmation of PR and i am still waiting for their reply.
Just this morning, i called them and waited for around 25 minutes and I talked to an agent. I inquired about landing interview and phone confirmation. I was told by the agent that not everybody will be accommodated with the phone interview. Only those with special cases and those COPR is about to expire will be contacted. I am not sure if that is true. As to landing interviews with IRCC office, i was told to wait for further instructions. Pretty much she was saying for me to wait...lol!

Cheers...
