Passport is not sent to Canada, a COPR and PR visa is generated at the Canadian Consulate in your country of residence.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Can you please tell me that after PPR what are the steps they go through?

Does this mean that my application has been approved and finalised, as I haven't noticed any change on my CIC account?

@legalfalcon

Once your submit your PP, a visa is stamped and COPR generated, and sent to you.

After your COPR is generated, you will see approved in your MyCIC account.

Thank you so much.
I am currently residing in Australia and as an Indian citizen, would I be able to travel to Canada after COPR?

Dear @legalfalcon, what is the pattern of processing inland PNP(also met CEC invited under PNP) applicants right now?

I understand that it’s hard to predict the timing but maybe you can see what processing time for this stream looks like comparing to inland CEC or FSW.

thanks

Hi @legalfalcon and others,

Is it possible for a CEC inland applicant to attach a secondary applicant (boyfriend) who lives in India? If not, can it be applied under FSW or any other work around exists? Pls advice.

Thanks!!

As such all EE applications go though the same process. There is no much difference. However, as per the 2019 IRCC annual report (pre-COVID), the processing times were as follows:

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?
Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Table 35: Processing Times for Express Entry applications finalized by year and immigration category, in months

Program	2017	2018	2019
Canadian Experience Class	4	5	7
Federal Skilled Worker	4	6	9
Provincial/Territorial Nominee	6	6	9
Federal Skilled Trades	6	7	12
All Programs	5	5	8

To add a another individual to the application, you have to be related to the person by marriage (spouse), common law partner, children (biological or adopted).

There is no mechanism to add a boyfriend unless the individual qualifies as a common law partner.

Hi!
The link mentions the following:
“Travellers coming from outside the US who are exempt from the travel restrictions
...

• some people who have been approved to become a permanent resident of Canada, but who are not yet permanent residents”

But no exact definition of those “some people”.

Thanks but it is possible that primary applicant stays in Canada and secondary in India?

@legalfalcon
Good morning, I'd like to start off by saying Happy Holidays and hope you're well. I am going to try to summarize my situation:
Applied under the CEC on Feb 2019
April 2019 got first charge ever: charged with alleged harrassment of ex partner
January 2020 application refused on grounds that i took plea: conditional discharge 12 months probation
Filed for judicial review January 2020
Covid hit March 2020 which delayed things but got a settlement offer from DOJ in September 2020
Settlement offer says upon receiving Notice of discontinuance they'd reopen my file, give me a chance to submit additional information and process at no cost.
Soon as file got reopend in September 2020, got charged again for communicating with ex partner so i asked IRCC a 90 day extension as they had reopened my file and asked for additional information (documents showing the charge was dealt with)
Got extension till jan 7th 2021
Got charges dropped last month but no date found to physically go into court due to covid-19 and court backlogs so my criminal lawyer gave me a letter informing ircc of the resolution between the defense and crown and that matter is resolved.
Here are my questions:
I submitted that letter last week, does that hold any weight in terms of showing them charges have being dropped?
Shouldn't they have just continued to process my application without needing additional documents as they reopened my file after realizing they made a mistake as a conditional discharge isn't a criminal record?
Is it true that files reopened under judicial review should be processed in priority and in 15 days from reopening?
Would i need new medicals and PCC eventhough PR was refused through fault of their own and reopened after medicals expired?
Does the new ircc officer in charge of my file reassess my application from scratch or reads the notes/reason why it was closed and reopened and simply look at the additional documents i submitted last week?
I have also being out of statua since July 2019 due to the charge and not knowing that said charge was delaying the processing of my PR, so i applied for a TRP in july 2020(as advised by my immigration lawyer) to be on the safe side but never heard back regarding that, nor does it show on myCIC. But when i called CIC on Monday i was told they see the TRP application. Now will i be refunded the 200$ should my PR be processed instead of the TRP application?

Please advise
Best regards

It will depend on whether you chose the family member as accompanying or not accompanying.
