Hi All,

I received my COPR on 12th June 2020, I was outside Canada at that time.

During that time (March 2020 - Aug 2020) , there was no landing (not even virtual), I received an email with a letter confirming that now I am a permanent residence of Canada with COPR number on it.

I travelled back to Canada in Sept 2020 (on my temporary residence visa (TRV) and applied for my PR card from within Canada and received it in 4 weeks.

Now that I am completing my physical presence calculator for Citizenship Application and entering my absences from Canada, it is giving me an error that I cannot be outside Canada on my PR issue date (June 2020).

Could anyone please advise how to deal with a situation like or anyone faced a similar situation as this is unique covid specific situation.

Thank you in advance.

Fred
