Today I have changed my SIN from 9 to 5 it’s permanent now and sent photo to IRCC for PR Card I know it will take long to get card as COPR is valid for 12 months . At this stage I can wait as I have no plan to travel out of Canada. Now my main concern is overseas dependent visa as the files are in Singapore VO since 1st week of January 2021. No update or acknowledgement. I hope it may move now as I am already landed and PR now ... I wish everyone here gets their PR without much waiting..
Congratulations once again. I hope your family get their visas soon.

What did you take with you for SIN changing?

How many pictures do you have to submit? Do you need to send anything else other than picture(s)?

  • 13 December 2019 - Received AOR
  • 23 December 2019 - Application processing started
  • 24 December 2019 - Received Application Update E-mail (after which I could link my application to a portal account)
  • 6 September 2020 - Received request for Police Clearance Certificate (exactly after 1 year of application submission, may be it's just a co-incidence)
  • 8 September 2020 - Gave finger prints for RCMP PCC
  • 6 October 2020 - Mailed PCC from UK as I have lived there in the past
  • 16 December 2020 - Received a letter through email (not through portal) that I meet the eligibility requirements for PR
  • 2 February 2021 - Passed the medical exam (they have extended the medical exam they conducted when I claimed asylum)
  • 3 February 2021 - Ghost Update
  • 11 March 2021 - Processing of Application Completed. Etobicoke IRCC will contact to finalize the application. (Received letter through GCKEY)
  • 18 March 2021 - Decision updated in GCKEY. CoPR details are mentioned there. No document attached. Did not receive email notification or anything. Timeline bar is 100% complete, whereas in the morning it was showing 5 Months remaining and bar is 80%.

Will be changing my SIN tomorrow and sending the picture for PR card. Don't know how long will it take but I can wait for that as the main thing is done now.

I hope all the remaining friends get their PR soon.
