Thanks. I see some people who agree with what you posted and others who cite this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1184&top=16 so I'm confused. I might give them a call just to double check. Seems to be conflicting info on their website.

Bit off topic but where did you find this information? My COPR document doesn't mention anything about needing an eTA at all... I keep seeing people say we might need one though :/

Does this mean that an eTA is required for those whose passport wasn't requested (visa exempt countries)? I keep reading conflicting information about this. CIC seems to say you don't need one if you have COPR but others say we need it...

MVO applicant here. Received COPR 1/23. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

To answer my own question, we sent the documents to the VFS (visa centre) in Seoul on 1/11 and received them 1/23. Applicants living in Korea must send it to the visa centre, not Manila, to be processed. We sent the following items: - copy of passport - 2 passport pics - PPR e-mail print out...

We sent ours off to the visa centre last week. No clue how long it'll take :/

With Air Canada it's $200 to take your pet on board with you. It's the cheapest and safest way to travel with a pet.

Recently got PPR and sent the required documents via VFS Services in Seoul. Does anyone have a time estimate of how long it will take to receive COPR? Thanks!

Hi everyone, We got PPR a couple days ago and in the email it gives some instructions on where to send our final documents. Koreans are visa exempt so it requests a copy of the passport, two passport pictures and a completed form. It then asks us to send them to a visa service centre in Seoul...

Wow. My mind is blown. Got it at work a couple hours ago and didn't realise that's what it was until I had time to sit down and re-read it. Can't believe it... I hope more people get theirs today!

I think we just got PPR... E-mail that starts like "The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your...

Did you order GCMS notes? We applied in July and it looked like no one really looked at it until the start of November.

I bet good news is coming soon for a lot of us. Quite a few applications went to background in progress just before the new year so perhaps we'll all get approved at the same time. Fingers crossed!

Me too. Noticed background in progress last week and can't stop checking. Hopefully we get good news soon!

Yeah, it's frustrating for applicants from Korea and Japan for sure. We are in Seoul as well. My contract finishes at the end of February so we are hoping to leave together on March 1. Not sure if it'll happen but fingers crossed. Good luck to you! The process is moving so fast these days.

Yes, I managed to pick that up on the other board so I'm trying to keep calm and not get my hopes up. Of course, I've checked the website and my email about 200 times since I noticed the change! My hope is that they're waiting for the new year and later this week we'll receive PPR :)

I just posted this same question on fb yesterday haha. I used Fongo and thus far it's given me a free number and voicemail, I haven't tried to make outgoing calls yet but perhaps that's something you pay for.. I had trouble signing up for it abroad because Korea has strict Internet security so I...

Happy Holidays everyone! I noticed background check needed is "in progress" but we still haven't recovered the pre-arrival services email. Has this happened to any of you?

Hello everyone, Just noticed the background check bit on mycic has changed to "in progress" but the eligibility section still reads "review in progress". We haven't received pre-arrival email yet either... Any estimate on how long it'll take based on other Manila applicants? Again, I'm sorry...

Thanks so much for the kind words. We don't have the most straight forward application but tried our best to assemble our package well. We haven't received the pre-arrival services email but waiting on it daily haha. The doc request was for a personal explanation of a DUI on my partner's...
