Hello All,

I am new to the forum. I have a quick question.

If my PR Application Status Tracker shows a COPR document number and expiry date, does that mean a decision has been made on my application?

You are pretty close yet pretty far.. lol

It means you are on the right path but PR is only confirmed when you receive e-copr. All you gotta do is wait, the next steps would likely be you receiving the P1 email.. If you have crossed the processing timeline, keep calling IRCC.

Hello-



I do have a situation for my friend:



Currently, he is on an LMIA work permit, and during Covid, he got laid off. However, there was a temporary policy that TFW could switch to a different employer and didn’t need to wait decision on his application and could start working immediately. I think this requires an LMIA as well while switching to another employer. He barely speaks English. He hired a consultant before applying. The consultant introduced to him a new employer and charged $21,000. Now the issue is, that the policy says he needs an LMIA for sure before switching jobs, but the consultant applied for him without it. As per the policy, the consultant gave him a letter from IRCC, that he can work immediately, which is a kind of automatic letter in 2023. My friend started working for a new employer. The work was applied in 2023 May- He got a letter in April that he could work. After, that no news from the consultant at all, even after calling multiple times. So I asked him if he should call IRCC directly to find out about his application. His work permit was rejected In September 2023, but he was never notified. The consultant never put the LMIA application in it, and one time 3 weeks ago he responded by saying his employer didn’t give him LMIA paperwork. During this time, he was working with the new employer which is kind of illegal or unauthorized work. His consultant never said about rejection, otherwise he could have stopped working when the letter arrived.


He is a victim of a consultant. If he finds a new LMIA, what should he do for his illegal work? However, all work is done on SIN. Also, what is the best practice, should he explain all in the paper while applying for a new work permit with a new employer, will IRCC help him?

Please what does "If left Canada during landing process the day IRCC confirmed return " mean on the spreadsheet.

I received P1 on Feb 27, replied Feb 28 and haven't heard a word since then. I have travelled out of the country multiple times during this period and when I called IRCC they hinted that the delay might be because I never informed them before travelling or upon return.

I have now returned and have no more travel until July. I have notified them of my return via email response to the P1 email. Does this suffice? Or is the IRCC suppoed to somehow confirm my return as the spreadsheet suggests?

Help would be appreciated.

It’s for people who were out of the country or left Canada after p1 which will explain the delay in their ecopr

looks like you will need to consult a lawyer or ask in a different forum. I hardly think anyone is qualified to answer that

I know but my question is - is there a process for me to get IRCC to confirm that I have returned or is informing them via email enough?
I am not sure. In the original email (p1) it says to respond to that email. But even if you did not report your entrances and exists, IRCC has access to all of that info so that could very well be the reason for your delay
