Linking PR Card application;
1. Login into your CIC account as you usually do.
2. Reach the page where you click "Check full application status" to view your application and messages
3. But do not click on that rather click on " Add (link) your application to your account"
4. Select the "Category" from the dropdown as "Permanent Resident Card"
5. Under Application Details, from "Please select one" select "Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and Family Name"
6. Put your UCI as it is NO SPACES and NO HYPHES
7. Put your Family Name as on you CoPR - UPPER and LOWER CASE matter here
8. The tricky one, Place of Birth Section. Here "City/town of birth" is very very crucial. Copy it as it is on your CoPR, any commas, upper/lower case, spaces, just copy it here.
9. Select your "Country/territory of birth" from the drop down
10. Next section is pretty easy as you just select your "Date you became a permanent resident" from dropdown. This is the day you did your landing by either flagpole or landing interview
11. Put "Country of Citizenship" and "Current marital status" from dropdowns.
12. Click "Search for my application", if all the inputs are correct then it will show you that the system has found your application. You just have to click Link my application to account and it will now be shown on "View the applications you submitted" page with your Permanent Residency application.
13. If after clicking "Search for my application" it show no application found, click Try again and try to input all the values carefully again. Each day it allows you 5 attempts. It it still doesn't find your application, you can try again the next day.
Hi,
For #8, I have COB: India in CoPR. While linking the application, should I put City/Town of birth or Country of Birth?
For #10, Is this the date on the CoPR document just above UCI? I am inland and no flagpole or landing.

Got my PR card in the mail today so this marks the end of the journey. Thanks for being so supportive everyone and hope the wait comes to an end for you all.

Ghost Update/Criminality Check Finalized (IRCC Portal): April 19th, 2021 > PR Confirmation Portal Email: April 26th, 2021 > Credentials to login to portal: April 28th, 2021... Photo and Address Submitted same day > E-COPR + Address Accepted on Portal: May 04th, 2021 > Linked my PR Card Application to IRCC portal > Update that card has been mailed in IRCC portal: May 19th, 2021 > Received PR Card in mail: May 25th, 2021.

friends, looks like whoever got GU on 21 May (COPR 12 Jan 2021 or before).. all those profiles are getting updated with FINAL APPROVAL status this morning. I see that for me the PR Card document number is also generated AND the silver lining is that the card is valid for 5 years from the date of GU 21 May (not the COPR issuance 12 Jan) which means i got 4 months extra for the waiting we had to endure. finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Yup!

I too received approval for my dependent child, but approval for me and my wife is still pending. Hopefully will be approved by today EOD.

CoPR 12 Jan, GU1 - May 21, Approved May 26

On your point of expiry date of PR card, it is generally valid for 5 year from the date of issue, however, PR status will expire on 5 years from CoPR date. i.e. Jan 11, 2026, we need to renew PR card before that or apply for citizenship.
