It should be very soon, I am early July applicant. You can check my timeline.

Timelines are not only based on when you submitted your application.

Hello Everyone
A quick query. My mother got her P1 email asking her current location and expected return time. We applied from Canada but she is currently in India.
I would be replying to the email mentioning she would be returning in 3 months. Would her application be paused for 3 months in this case?
Should I also submit a webform mentioning her current residence is changed now so that her application is not paused and can be processed from India.
Or the webform for change in address will only complicate things and should simply let the application pause for 3 months. Should just reply to P1 and wait.

Tough call because 3 months may not be long enough to get COPR in India and get her passport back in time to return. Is there some flexibility on her return date? If not you will have to notify IRCC that she will be out of Canada until a specific date and the process will restart at that point.

Timelines are not only based on when you submitted your application.

unless you are put in Security Screening(security check in depth), the general timelines should be based on when you submitted the application

1. You will need to fill in the unpaid representative form as you are filling out the forms on her behalf and she is not doing it herself. You are acting as her representative. Having access to her emails does does not negate the fact that you are doing all the work on her behalf - be truthful

2. On the resume list "From Date" (date she turned 18) - "Current Date" - "House Wife": describe her activities as a house wife and child rearing activities in the resume

3. If your mother has an identity document issued by UIDAI - Aadhar list this as the national ID document; if she does not have one issued leave it blank and add a letter of explanation that she has never applied for one and never been issued one

Thank you!

She has Aadhaar card and I am attaching it as additional support document but Aadhaar card doesnt have expiry date. Okay to leave it blank?

Hi all.

Does anyone know IRCC’s phone number? I’ve tried to link our application and after trying multiple times and trying different info (UCI, application number, family member, etc), it’s still not working. I’m not really sure what to do anymore. TIA

 

[Greninja]

You need to include yourself in the family number

So the same thing happened to my parents. They received PPR on the same day as the Final Decision.
There should be a PPR letter in the message area in the portal. Check my timeline in the signature.
