PR confirmation portal timelines

[geraldolvn]

My Work Visa expires on August 24th.
I already replied to the Portal 1 email (July 20th), and I am waiting on Portal 2.

If I received Portal 2 (and confirm in the site) but my eCopr didn't arrive until August 24th, Should I stop working, or can I continue to work?

I'm still waiting for Portal 2 since July 24th.. I received the automatic reply from them immediately I sent the Portal 1.

Portal 1: July 12th
Portal 2: Waiting
VO Montreal

Just called and I've been told to wait, it might take some more time to get a reply for Portal 2.
I simply don't understand the criteria to get the next email, definitely not by date of reception/reply.

You're right. I know people who sent Portal 1 on July 10th and received the Portal 2 on July 24th. (PNP Non EE + 1 Dependent)

 

[At the start]

I just called IRCC and the representative told me that it is normal to get portal 2 in 20-30 days. He said everything is okay from your side and just wait. It takes time for IRCC to make an account.

eCOPR Received yesterday. Aug 7, 2023
Thank you forum friends for all your help and Good luck to everyone waiting!!!!

I think you can make it before August 24th...

If you don't receive your eCopr around August 20th you still have the option to submit a Bridging Open Work Permit.. (if you want to continue working, of course). The bad news about that permit is you need to pay for it, but they send a letter saying that you can work until a decision is made. (implied status).

Of course (and hopefully) you are going to receive your eCopr before that open work permit, in that case, IRCC refunds you around $100 for that Bridging Open Work Permit you already paid for.

That's what I was thinking too (BOWP), but I thought I could get a 100% refund, anyways I will do it by the last day (August 22nd).
How about my son? He is on a Student Visa, do you know if I need to apply to extend his Visa? Or he can be without status for that period of time.

I know those questions are very specific, any thoughts will be very helpful.

If we follow the legal path. When you apply for the BOWP you can/should request the extension of his study permit.

I know a person who omitted that extension to avoid additional payments, but that is a personal decision.

About the refund. One of my friends paid $255 for the BOWP and only received a $100 refund for his application.
