Hello,

I held work permit to enter Canada, 2 years ago. And at the entry port, my passport was stamped based on my work permit time, it says I should Canada before March 7 2024. But I just received my PR status weeks ago. So should I leave Canada according to the stamped date and reenter? Or should I file anything with IRCC? Or should I just keep staying in Canada without doing anything?

Thank you!

If you have received your eCOPR, then there's no need to leave Canada. What you need to do is take that eCOPR and get yourself a permanent SIN number. If you're from Ontario, go to Service Ontario and update your health card.

Congratulations!

Once you receive PR, other status become invalid.
Congratulations by the way....
