الحمد الله رب العالمين
After a very long wait, we have finally recieved our CoPR to travel from Karachi, Pakistan to Toronto, Canada. We applied under the spousal Application and had constant contact with IRCC to speed up our application process, but the lesson was learned that it will happen when the time is right.
Due to personal reasoning, we decided to wait until our flight was booked and I arrived to Canada before we announced our timeline and message to the people in this forum.
I took PIA and stayed at a hotel in Toronto after arriving at Toronto Pearson International Airport. My best wishes and best of luck luck to everyone in this forum who are still waiting for their good news.
I would especially like to thank Salman Warraich for constantly helping us during the waiting period with messages of motivation and local news about travels, etc. I am keeping all people waiting for their application to be approved including Social_Distancing and others.
