Thanks for your help and reply.Just curious...what did you provide as your evidence of your `declaration of your presence in Canada'? This wasn't around when I landed.
Seems odd that the email showed that your PR was approved two months ago, but the PR Portal shows that your declaration is being reviewed.
Not sure about the WP, since you have not yet been issues the eCoPR. It may in fact still be valid, but if so, come become invalid any day. Wait for others, here, to chime in.
You have to be aware of two separate, but related, steps:
1. Being able to board a commercial flight back to Canada and what the requirements are from the carrier.
2. What CBSA requires when you encounter an officer at a POE.
Returning to Canada...and entering Canada are not the same thing, in terms of documents needed.
The declaration is just basically checking a box declaring that I am currently in Canada.
And to add some extra information, this is the last email/message I got from the IRCC regarding the PR Portal:
This email confirms that you have successfully submitted the required information to confirm your status as a permanent resident in Canada.
An IRCC case worker will send you a message if further information is required; the message will come from an email address ending in @cic.gc.ca. To avoid missing our emails, check your junk or spam folder.
If the information is complete, your status as a permanent resident will be confirmed and your permanent resident card will be printed and mailed to you.
To view the status of your case, log into your IRCC Permanent Residence Portal account with your current log-in credentials.
So maybe my I am not officially a PR since my status as a PR is not confirmed?
