Is your address already accepted in the portal or still shows in the review by IRCC?
Hi all, I followed this group after I got my pr email in December 2022 and has been very helpful watching others timeline . Here is my info
Dec 22, 2022. pr email received and replied to Calgary office
Jan 07 2023. Pr portal email received , address and photo updated in the portal.
Feb 01 2023 . Got another pr email from Etobicoke. Replied to them that I already submitted my credentials to Calgary office but I also submitted my info again.
Feb 07 2023: COPR received from Etobicoke
April : filled out a webform requesting for expedite processing
April 13: Received a ghost update on GC account. At the same time my photo was accepted and case closed in the PR portal
April 18: checked mg account and noticed PR card approved and mailed.
April 19: Receive an email from IRCC that there were changes in my account. I check it was the same pr approved and mailed update.
April 28 : I checked my mail and got my PR card.
I just want to share that I know the frustrations especially waiting for an update every day and no reply from IRCC whatsoever. I want to encourage everyone who hasn’t hear from IRCC to continue filling out a web form until you hear from them.
Good luck !!

Did your portal shows in review? My spouse got the card but I haven't gotten mine, though my photo shows in review and my spouse photo was accepted
The group is just for e-COPR updates who received or not after the strike. As the wait time goes longer than before...

I got the initial PR portal request mail today, and I'm planning to go on vacation abroad next week, for a week.
I saw this paragraph on a canada.ca page:
"Declaring you’re in Canada does not mean you are a permanent resident. We will send you a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document. Your CoPR confirms your status.
We can’t confirm your permanent resident status while you’re outside Canada. If you plan to travel before receiving your CoPR, contact us using the email address on your invitation message."
Will there be an issue if I travel abroad next week? I'm currently a temporary worker and my work visa is valid.

Your previous visas will be voided once you receive the ecoPR. You will only be able to return with your PR card after ecoPR is issued.
If you don't want to make any changes to your planned vacation you would want not to have the ecoPR to be issued until you return. There are options for you to explore: 1. respond to this email after you are back 2. Respond now and mention you are out and will return on X date.
I heard that option 2 could cause some delays, so as far as I remember option 1 is a better choice, especially if it's just a 2-week timeframe as in your case. As far as I'm concerned they will not issue the ecoPR until you respond to the Portal email and a 2-week delay to respond is not a problem.
Thank you
I'm seeing people here report waiting for quite some time to receive their cards after eCOPR. Am I really trapped in Canada if this takes long? Can't I enter as a tourist, at least?
You can't use your tourist visa (or Temp WP) after the ecoPR is issued, you are not a tourist and not a temporary worker anymore. You are a permanent resident, so only a PR card (or PTRD doc which is painful to get) could be used to enter Canada.
Yes, it might take a long time - I'm waiting for more than 2 months already, and I'm really stressed as I need to go back to my home country asap and I have no idea how much longer will it take. But some people are lucky - sometimes it takes just 3 weeks to get the card.
You are in a good position - just don't respond, enjoy your vacation, and be ready to wait for 1-4 months after you are back. Maybe you will be the lucky one and will receive it in 3 weeks
