Laziest people in the world can't even finalize the 2022 and 2023 applications.
Can we say that it was a general change as part of portal updation or does it means something?
Can't be sure unless some more confirmations come from other members.
Yes that was a general system update. and absolutely doesn't mean anything.
If you are stuck in SS for more than 18 months, go ahead with mandamus as I'm in process. I know it's a tough time for specially IRANIAN applicants.
I've received my eCOPR yesterday. Just want to thank everyone in this forum, especially @missbee, for their guidance and timely support throughout my PR journey.
Wishing everyone the best and hope you all are successful in your respective journeys.
Thanks

For most inland PR streams (TR to PR, PNP, CEC, etc.), a passed medical is a good sign that your file is progressing.
- The PAL usually comes once eligibility is marked as “Passed” by an officer — but the timing varies a lot. Some applicants get it within days, others wait weeks or months.
- Since you’re inland, the PAL isn’t strictly required for you to remain in Canada, but IRCC still issues it as part of the process
By law, IRCC should respond to your Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP/GCMS notes) request within 30 days, but they often delay due to “high volume.”
- A 3-month delay is definitely unusual. If you already followed up via webform and got that generic “will be dealt with in 3 business days” reply but nothing happened, you have two main options:
- File a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada (OIC). They handle cases where IRCC delays ATIP responses. Many applicants do this after the 30-day deadline is missed.
- Submit a fresh ATIP request while the complaint is being reviewed. Sometimes the new one gets processed faster
Track your application in the PR Tracker (if eligible). Sometimes it shows progress (eligibility, background, etc.) before PAL or GCMS notes.
- Call IRCC directly (1-888-242-2100) — though wait times are long, an agent can sometimes tell you if eligibility or background has started.
- Consider re-ordering GCMS notes — some applicants receive the second set quicker than the first.
- If time sensitive (job, travel, etc.) → escalate via your MP’s office. MPs can request status updates directly from IRCC, which often gets results faster.
Hi,
I submitted my Non-EE application to the IRCC last May. Now, I need to inform the IRCC about some recent updates. I called them, and the agent provided me with the temporary application number that starts with "XEP....". Now, I am filling out the web form, and I have the following fields.
When I try to enter this application number, I get this error "Error 1: Application number – The number must be 10 characters long and begin with EP." --> Should I remove the "X " at the beginning of the application number and just proceed with "EPxxxxxxxx"?
Moreover, I'm not sure how to fill them out exactly, given that I have received no information related to my application processing from the IRCC.
What is your application number? (required)
What did you apply for? (required)
What application did you submit? (required)
Is your application being processed by an office outside Canada? (required)
Choose the visa office processing your application. (required)
Thanks!

Hello @Miss bee
I am now in month 32 since I submitted my PR application and I am in Comprehensive security check.
I contacted MP and she said something confusing, she first gave my application stage and then at the end she said "
There will be no fixed processing time for your application.
You can contact IRCC after Nov 01, 2025, for a possible update."
I said what does it mean by "You can contact IRCC after Nov 01, 2025, for a possible update" and she replied back "as advised by IRCC, if you’d like to see any possible updates, you can check your profile on Nov 01, 2025 or after".
Does this timeline means anything, its 45 days from today?

Hi guys, I got my ECOPR in July 8,2025 and still haven't receives my PR card yet. I need a physical PR Card to apply for a Japan visa in October for a trip and is already the 15th of September, does anyone know how I can contact IRCC and ask for it? or what should I do in this situation? Thank you!!
New PR cards usually take about 36 days to process.
- After that processing time, it can take up to about 6 additional weeks for the card to arrive by mail.
- If you haven’t received it after those times, you can take certain actions.
Since you got your eCOPR in July 8, 2025 and it’s now mid-September, you are beyond the “usual processing + mail” times. Here are actions to take:
Check your status online
Use the Permanent Residence Portal / IRCC account you used for the eCOPR to see if there are updates (photo review, address accepted, “card mailed,” etc.). Sometimes delays happen because IRCC needs more documents or there’s an issue (photo, address).
- Make sure your address is correct & submitted
If IRCC doesn’t have your correct mailing address, the card may be delayed or sent to the wrong place. If you moved, or if the address you gave was incomplete, update it immediately. - Submit a web form to IRCC
Use the IRCC Web Form (“Contact IRCC / ask about or update your application”) to explain your situation. Mention that you need the physical PR card by October for visa applications and travel. Ask if your case qualifies for urgent processing. - Call the Client Support Centre
If you are in Canada, call 1-888-242-2100 during their hours (Monday-Friday, 8 am-4 pm local time). Be ready with your PR application / eCOPR information, your Unique Client Identifier, photo upload or address status, etc. - Ask for urgent processing
IRCC allows urgent processing of PR cards in certain circumstances — for example, if you need the card for travel within 3 months. Since you’re travelling for a visa to Japan in October, this might qualify. In the contact form you can request urgent processing. - Prepare backup plan
In case the card doesn’t arrive in time, you may need something like a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) if you are outside Canada without a PR card. Or possibly demonstrate to the Japanese visa office your situation and show proof you’ve applied and are waiting. I can help you find out what Japan accepts.
