TRV stands for Temporary Resident Visa. It's basically a tourist visa for those who require a visa to enter Canada.

Congrats! What's the validity of your visa and COPR? I don't remember if you had to do a re-med or not.

Hi there I have been following this forum for a while now but never posted...but I do have a question and was hoping you could help me! I got a police certificate re-do request on october 15th and a medical request re-do on october 16th...I still have not heard back from them on whether they received the police record my husband sent...I was just wondering what you said in your email when you asked whether they received your police criminality check, and what email did you send it to? My congratulations on the copr! And thank you in advance for your help :)
Thank you! And welcome!! In my email I told them which day/date I mailed out the police certificate and asked them if they could please let me know if/when they received it as I wanted to make sure it didnt get lost in the mail and it arrived safely.

I replied to the email address from which they send out an email requesting additional docs.
That email address is:

VIENNIMMIGRATION @ international.gc.ca
(Without the spaces, for some reason I cannot post it without the spaces)

Make sure you put your application number and/or UCI in the email as well.

Good luck!!!

My COPR also arrived! (In the Netherlands, now just waiting for it to get to Canada where I am already).
The funny thing is, they gave me till 21 October 2015 to enter Canada. This means they extended my medical for more than a year! Crazy!
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the "last entry date" and "original entry date". What do they mean exactly?

Because mine says a date in early 2013 though I arrived in Canada last in September 2014. Do I have to inform anyone about this?

Also, the original entry date is false, as I had a temporary work visa and entered Canada in July 2012. But I actually read that it happens quite often and I can change it after I land? This affects when I can apply for citizenship I believe. Anyone else have any experience with wrong dates on their COPR? Thanks in advance!

hi there! well I can tell you that the average waiting time right now is awful, 17 months. however some people have been getting their COPR's faster than the time listed on CIC's website. I'm still waiting, its been 11 months for me and my husband. good luck with everything! I can tell you one thing. this forum will keep you sane. I have been following it the whole time and hearing peoples' stories has helped me get through the wait.

good luck with your application! if you need any advice please ask :)

You're welcome :D and thank you! I am already in Canada since the beginning of September. So I guess now the job hunt begins! Good luck on the application. They replied to me the day after I send the email that my application had been accepted! But I didn't have to re-do med. Fingers crossed!

My first and last entry date were wrong as well. Nobody cared and I don't think it really matters

Ah ok, thank you! I thought it would affect when I can apply for citizenship. But at least it won't affect my landing!

Hello All,

I am doing research on reasons why people do or do not use lawyers for their immigration applications.

Would appreciate if you could fill this in. It will take less than 2 minutes of your time.

Thanks in advance!!

I have a question,
after becoming PR,how long it is needed to apply for citizenship,and it is counting days that you are in Canada before becoming PR?
