Is your information is in review with IRCC?Hi guys my pr application is approved but still didn’t get COPR even after portal request..my work permit is going to expire soon what should I do ???
What it means photo is in review ? Once you have received COPR does it not mean all is complete ? Or Iam missing out something here ? Pls adviceI finally received my ecopr. Photo is still in review but my address is accepted. I downloaded my ecopr and changed my sin number and applied the health card. One question, eventhough i still have not received my pr card yet, am I permanent resident officially ? Because i changed my sin number as permanent one and applied to health card
eCopr means its digital version and you can use it until your pr card comes. Pr card is physical one. When you get ecopr, it doesn’t mean that you get your physical pr card at the same time.What it means photo is in review ? Once you have received COPR does it not mean all is complete ? Or Iam missing out something here ? Pls advice
Hlo ,What it means photo is in review ? Once you have received COPR does it not mean all is complete ? Or Iam missing out something here ? Pls advice
We are still waiting our physical pr cards. We received our eCopr so are we permanent resident right, eventhough we have not received our pr cards yet ?Hlo ,
its same with me my address and declaration accepted but my photo is still in review and i got eCOPR but for pr card my photo is in review which means they will mail pr card when our photo will also accepted.
Yes we are,We are still waiting our physical pr cards. We received our eCopr so are we permanent resident right, eventhough we have not received our pr cards yet ?
I may be mistaken, but once you become a PR (even if you have not received your PR Card), your previous visa(s) are no longer valid.I found this thread helpful so I am sharing my info to add to the data points:
PR Confirmation e-mail - (Calgary office) Dec 21, 2022 (Replied the same day)
Email with PR Portal credentials - Jan 6, 2023 (Declaration, address, and photo uploaded same-day)
Both mailing address and photo are still in review with IRCC.
Have not received eCOPR / PR card as of today.
I called IRCC's general inquiries line and was told that they did not have any information on how long this step of the PR process will take -- essentially they were suggestion I need to wait it out.
I also need to travel for work internationally in March. I plan to use my visa, which expires end of next year, for re-entry.
I think you have a good point. My visa should be valid for now, but it may change once I receive the eCoPR. Can someone with a eCoPR comment on whether the eCoPR or accompanying documents explicitly declares other Canadian visas/permits invalid/cancelled?I may be mistaken, but once you become a PR (even if you have not received your PR Card), your previous visa(s) are no longer valid.
Suggest you wait for others to comment.
This is the LOGICAL explanation. The IRCC rationales are far from that But I hope you're right.I think you have a good point. My visa should be valid for now, but it may change once I receive the eCoPR. Can someone with a eCoPR comment on whether the eCoPR or accompanying documents explicitly declares other Canadian visas/permits invalid/cancelled?
My rationale is: 1) If IRCC considers that I am PR, I should be allowed to enter as a PR, and 2) if IRCC considers that I am not PR, my TRV should remain valid and I should be allowed to enter as a temporary resident. Correct me if I am wrong, but it does not make sense that having an approved PR application should make me less admissible to Canada.
The airline should allow me to board to plane to Canada because I have a valid (i.e. not-expired) visa in my passport.
My back up plans are to apply for a PR travel document at my destination country, or travel through the USA-Canada land boarder in the worse-case scenario.
Of course, the most ideal situation is that I receive the PR card before departure.
