Good day everyone

Guys, I've got my passport back with visa stamped and CoPR with it as well. Planning for landing in First week of September. (Timeline above updated)

I'm nervous about the last step here i.e. Interview with CBSA officer. Anyone has experienced it or any idea what they ask ?

It is usually very much an administrative procedure - and unless your reason for appeal was some very big deal (like national security level issue), that shouldn't change.

You arrive. You line up for passport officer. You show the visa and copr and you'll probably get sent immediately to secondary (separate room) for the landing procedure proper.

At that, basically 90% is the officer doing work on his/her own. They'll ask some basic questions, most of which are just to confirm things. Address, where you staying, etc.

Before signing the COPR, they will draw your attention to the fact that signing means you are certifiying that everything there is true (if not, it's a misrepresentation). You'll sign the COPR, so will an officer and date it. They'll usually say something like 'congrats you are now a PR'. They may or may not provide a bit more info.

Your case seems to be a spousal, not likely they would ask for much more. Perhaps 'is your spouse at that address.'

Again, they're not trying to 'catch' anything here - just basically confirm the stuff.

Thank you armoured. Another question just came up after when you said 'is your spouse at that address.'

I'm living with my spouse in home town for more than a year now and our new address was clearly mentioned in updated IMM5562e that was sent to the IRCC recently. Now in the CoPR under "Sponsor Information" section, the address mentioned is my spouse's Canadian address but the fact is that my spouse is not living there.

I'm not sure how critical this is and whether I should inform IRCC for this and whether a new CoPR will be issued.

I'd appreciate if you or anyone else can guide me on this please

So, since spouse sponsorship, the assumption is that the sponsor (citizen?) will be residing with you in Canada. Will you be travelling together? Or will the spouse go before you? Will you both be remaining in Canada for the time being (i.e. not soft landing or departing for long trips or to reside in near future)?

While they do not seem in general overly strict on timing, at least in most cases, it is a matter of substance - and given your long process of refusals and appeals, etc., I would ot want to play games with it.

Other than that: the key thing is that the address in Canada is one at which you will receive mail and specifically the card when it is sent. Do not update it to an address outside CAnada.

You can change it and should specify the Canadian address to the officer when you land (or confirm the existing one). If it's a change, it might be wise to update online as well - unfortunately updating to current addresses is not one of the things that IRCC seems to be good or consistent about. You don't need to wait for an updated COPR.

My Sponsor is Canadian citizen and we decided and started living together in home country because of this long wait and uncertainties due to Covid/Afghanistan/Ukraine. Now since this process is finalized we will be travelling together in the same flight and planning to move to Canada for good.

Now if I understood you correctly (apologies if I didn't) the address written in CoPR can be left as is for the time being and at landing I can tell the officer about the updated address. Also I hope this is not considered a misrepresentation ?

Okay, all clear now. Yes, if you need to update the address upon arrival, you can do that - and you should do so even if you've done an online change of address. I'd still recommend updating it online as soon as possible if you know it, and no, it won't be considered a misrepresentation, just a change of address.

I think you will find that travelling with and arriving at airport with your sponsor will make it go even more smoothly. (Not that it's hard without sponsor present really)

According Gckey and call centre the docs (Pcc, schedule and family information include affidavit of missing one PCC) I sent Jun 2 IRCC have not upload yet online. Do you think they have lost? Or they also behind to upload docs now? I’m freaking and disgusted with IRCC it’s 38 months of dealing IRCC for simple thing my wife join me here Canada. I think Gov are failing every departments, think about the IRCC, lineup for Passport, and airports if you have seen the new and hospitals for not having enough workers.

Hello Good Friends
I have a question.
Before my wife was living in Drayton Valley, Alberta but recently she have moved to Edmonton, Albert. Do I have to update the new address? Because that was my wife address where I supposed to live. Or is it just okay.
