Hello, Yesterday I received my COPR, after 21 months, since my application,in one section of my COPR says I should send a copy of my COPR and a photo with some of my data written from behind the photo to the address listed above in order to receive my firts PR card, but there's no physical address described anywhere on the letter,I didn't have an interview, I had no phone contact with any officers.I only received a notification in my email from C.I.C., asking me to review my C.I.C. account, and Here it is, my COPR

So Here the question someone who has received their COPR During COVID-19 Pandemic?
To which address I should send my photo?

I just got a ghost update in my GC account but when I check my full application status I see nothing new!

May be something about my security happened...If u had the same situation tell me your experience
I got a ghost update the next day my expired medicals got renewed.
Ghost update means your file has been updated so keep checking within the next 3 to 5 days something will show.

I am sure that everything depends on the immigration office that corresponds to us,exemple mine was mississauga
All of in Canada applicant send their application to Mississauga. It is the only office that process in Canada PR applications.

I beleive the process time line depends on the officer who is responsible for the application. Some of the officers works fast and some of them are slow.

Dear all,
I want to share you my timeline which could be an uplifting for many of you who have been waiting patiently for your file to be finalized. I have been here since 2017 and have to pass through what seems to be an endless immigration process. But sometimes you got a miracle. Despite long wait for a hearing, my PR time line was just 10 months. I don’t see anyone sharing a PR time line under just 10 months. I’m so surprised how fast IRCC processed my application. What I want to say to my fellow forum members is that don’t lose hope. This country teaches me patience. Hope your turn is soon and have a great week!

My time line for PR

1. We received your application for permanent residence: December, 2019.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on December, 2019.
3. We started processing your application on December, 2019.
4. We sent you correspondence in December, 2019. Notification of Selection for the Pilot project
5. We sent you a letter on December, 2019. Forms for overseas dependents
6. We sent you correspondence on January, 2020. Biometric, police certificate and government services
7. We sent you medical instructions on January , 2020
8. Medical results have been received.
9. Decision made October 19, 2020. CoPR emailed.
