I mean if that's the case then there should just be an autogenerated eCOPR once we declare our presence here. I mean if they have nothing else to do, right?
The eCOPR is not in its final form. An officer still has to take the info we sent as portal 1 reply, put it on the eCOPR and add a signature. It could be automated, but then they should get that info in some other way, not from an email reply. If they just made it part of the portal, they could easily automate it. Then you just enter the info in the portal and submit it together with the in-Canada declaration and would get the eCOPR autogenerated immediately. But they might not be able to do that due to a legal reason too.
