virtual landing - CoPR - PR card

- Start date
Hi guys, my wife received PPR this week. After repeatedly informing IRCC that my wife is in Canada on TRV and changing the address too. I've sent a webform again informing IRCC that she is physically present here. Per recent trend, when can I expect the virtual landing instructions link from IRCC?
Hello,
What did you do after receiving the second PPR? Have you got any response from LVO? I’m in the same boat and have received the second PPR. Have you got any invitation letter for virtual Landing?
I'm in the same boat outland , wife in Canada on a visitor visa , today they sent PPR letter , I thought she's supposed to do virtual landing since she's already in Canada
Wife received PPR on Aug 23. Still waiting for virtual landing portal. Raised several webforms already. Agents on the phone tell to just wait. No ETA. Looking at how it is going, we are planning to travel to NYC (since both of us hold us visa) and submit passport there and get the COPR done.
did you send photocopy of her passport to Ottawa along with the PPR letter and two photos ? We just did that , Asked my MP about the virtual landing he said you just follow the PPR letter and send stuff to Ottawa so i just did , He said just send photocopy of passport since the applicant already in Canada and doesn't need a visa to Enter Canada .. in your case if you left Canada you will need to submit your original passport so they will stamp PR visa for your return .
Please do advise others how this goes. It's hard to say which approach is better but I can't disagree with your MP, that if your letter of instructions says to send to Ottawa, they can't fault you for following the instructions.
And while those who are contacting IRCC by phone are being told the instructions to send docs to Ottawa are 'mistaken' (their mistake of course), there are more than a few waiting for lengthy periods for the virtual landing instructions. If it were me in this situation I'd probably send it on to Ottawa (if and only if that's what the PPR instructions said).
In our case, Wife's PPR has no instructions to send it to Ottawa office. Instead there's a one line stating if you are in canada, please advise via webform and request to switch to virtual landing. That's it. Already done that several times before and after PPR. Nothing yet. Just get generic webform replies.
Don't feel qualified to give advice on this. If spouse does travel to USA, she might need to stay there for some time, esp if must submit passport (ie depends on nationality).
The other thing is, it does depend on how critical it is for you in timing - eg whether spouse wants to work right away - and no way to know which might be faster.
Definitely the spouse wants it sooner to be able to work.
But looks like can't do much about it.Got through the call with IRCC today. As per their instructions I just have to stand by.
So it/s been ... a little bit more than a month? Relax and wait.Yes it's weird they were not all issued and sent at exactly the same time. It's still not that long.
