HI all,

I received eCOPR today and am waiting for my PR card.

Does anyone know whether my mother can visit me now? Assuming that she meets all other requirements (vaccination, negative test etc), is the eCoPR enough?

Many thanks.

She‘d have to wait until you receive your PR card. To apply for the travel restriction exemption, the COPR will not suffice as a supporting document. The application process for that exemption itself could also take weeks to months to get approved, hence if you really want to see your mum soon, I‘d suggest you fly out to see her once you have the PR card in hand. Another option is to leave now and apply for a PRTD once you‘re back home.

Correction: As an immediate family member, a written authorization isn’t needed. However, a PR card or a PRTD is still needed as proof. COPR won’t work.

More follow up on this... Today I went to Service Canada to get a permanent SIN number. They rejected my eCoPR because it has no officer signature on it and I don't know if this is supposed to be without a signature or the officer forgot to sign it? Lucky for me they do accept my COPR letter, which looks a lot less "offical" and of course doesn't have any signature on it. So my question is for those of yall who received the eCOPR, does yours have officer's signature and date on it? Should I contact them because mine isn't signed?
Hey
I am also not having signature on ecOpr
Can you please tell how did you get it signed.
Please advise
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response.

Looking at canada.ca, it shows that my mum can come without having to apply for a written authorization:

"You do not need a written authorization from us confirming that you’re exempt from the travel restrictions."

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and visitors to Canada: Uniting with family members - Canada.ca

It just states that I have to be a permanent resident and she has to prove that I am a permanent resident. I wonder whether my eCoPR is enough.

How long are PR cards taking to come?

Oh, my mistake! I was under the impression that it’d be the same procedure as that of extended family members (e.g., romantic partners).
In your case, she’ll be able to fly here as soon as you can get her a copy of your PR card.
IRCC only accepts PR card or PRTD as proofs of PR, unfortunately!

My wife’s ecopr was also not signed and service canada refused to give SIN to her. Sent emails, webforms and called IRCC several times nothing worked. I contacted my MP and we received new signed ecopr in portal in couple of days but officer signed IRCC copy.
