Thank you, I actually won't be sending my passport, I'm form a visa exempt country so only have to send a copy. Do you know how long before they send me CoPR letter? Can I act as a permanent resident based on CoPR (like apply for a different job since I work on positive LMO at the moment)Meya06 said:Wow! Congratulation. after you received passport and COPR back from Ottawa, you have to crossing border (landing) that final PR procedure then you can apply new sin number and waiting PR card around 2 months.

Wow, congratulations!!jones89 said:Just got a direct email from Ottawa asking me to send through the copy of my passport and photos. Is that it? What's gonna happen now? Are they gonna send me the PR card? How long will it take? Do I need to change my SIN number?
I second this question, can a CoPR function as proof of PR status? Can I use it for my job?jones89 said:Thank you, I actually won't be sending my passport, I'm form a visa exempt country so only have to send a copy.

The CORP doesn't make you a permanent resident. You won't be a permanent resident until you have officially landed. You can certainly start looking for a new job. But you cannot work as a permanent resident until you have actually landed.jones89 said:Can I act as a permanent resident based on CoPR (like apply for a different job since I work on positive LMO at the moment)
No - you will need a new SIN.wifedoctor said:I second this question, can a CoPR function as proof of PR status? Can I use it for my job?
So once I cross the border with this letter to activate my PR I will have landed, right? Even though I won't have my PR card yet. Correct?scylla said:The CORP doesn't make you a permanent resident.
