Did you get COPR while you were waiting? :p
haha! If only! though the agent told me on the 9th of this month that everything's passed. Besides the additional docs accepted, everything looks the same on the portal as it did in October. Hoping to be done by end of May.

I got it in my account, no emails. The status was "Application/profile updated" (not sure what's exact wording) and changed to "Approved" after I opened the application itself. There is a COPR number and expiration date, but not an actual document.

Did anyone else receive the below email from IRCC today. Seems it’s general because it didn’t address- Dear {applicant name}. I don’t want such email, I am instead longing for my approval/COPR email at this point.....


Temporary foreign workers have played a critical role in Canada throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They are helping support Canada’s well-being and our economic recovery.

We want to share some important news with you. On May 6, 2021, we are launching a new one-time, temporary pathway for eligible workers to become permanent residents. It’s called the Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident Pathway.

You may qualify if you have experience in the health care sector, or in a select number of other essential occupations. Get more information about the new pathway, including eligible occupations and other requirements.

You can apply as of May 6, 2021. To qualify, you must submit your application before November 5, 2021, or the maximum numbers of applications is received, whichever comes first. We will accept up to

  • 20,000 applications for temporary foreign workers in health care
  • 30,000 applications for temporary foreign workers in selected essential occupations
  • 40,000 applications for international students who graduated from a Canadian institution
To support Francophone immigration outside Quebec, there is no maximum number of applications for French-speaking or bilingual candidates. If you speak French or are bilingual, we encourage you to apply. You’ll be making an impact to the vitality of Francophone minority communities in Canada.

We are not yet accepting applications. If you qualify, you should start preparing now, including scheduling a language test. You will receive more information about the program and how to apply once the new Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident pathway opens.



Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
