Finally I got my first GU!

COPR- March 30
Picture sent to CIC - March 31
Picture received by Etobicoke Office - April 6
First GU - September 1 (I sent less than 1 hour ago a solemn declaration by fax and right after my profile had a GU. Coincidence?)
I thought declaration is only if we pr card is mailed and we haven’t got in 6 weeks. Did any agent told u to do it?

No, a friend of mine who did this recently, so I decided to do as well. The solemn declaration is "concerning a lost, stolen, destroyed or never-received permanent resident card"... I sent based on the "never received", explaining the day that my COPR was issue, the day the photo was received by the office and saying that since then I haven't received any updates. Not sure if it works, but I decided to try.

Hi, please advise if anyone is on the same boat here.

CoPR on May 14 and photos mailed on May 17 for both primary and spouse in one envelope.
After photos mailed, we received the portal link so photos uploaded for both.
The primary applicant received a PR card early July with the photo uploaded to portal but the spouse’ card is still no ghost update. What happened to the spouse pr card?
I am in Same boat.... uploaded Photos on 7-May; my dependents cards were received on 4-Jun and mine not yet.. tried everything from calling to IRCC, Webform, reaching out to local MP and emailing to Etobicoke IRCC... but no use, all I learnt was all applicants cards are processed separately and my application is in Production since may end..

I also faxed Solemn declaration, but i did not get any response or acknowledgement... When i called IRCC customer care, they told me Solemn declaration is only valid if IRCC has processed PR cards and mailed out to applicant.. mine was still under production

Hi,
So I received an email this morning regarding my issues with "linking my PR application". They explained that in reason of the Afghanistan crisis they don't have the resources right now to help on non priority inquiries. The priority inquiries are :
  • Clients in crisis situations (like those affected by the situation in Afghanistan)
  • Clients facing vulnerable circumstances (emergency and urgent requests)
  • Clients who need to tell us about a change in their circumstances, which has a direct impact on their application (like marriage, birth of a child, or similar)
  • Clients who are submitting documents requested by one of our officers
  • Changes in contact information
  • Requests to withdraw an application or refunds
I also tried to call yesterday and the answer is the same. So right now the only thing we can do is wait and see unfortunately.

daughter's PR card application:
COPR: February 26
Photos sent: April 2 (it was a long
PR Confirmation Portal Email (VO: Etobicoke): May 21, 2021
PR Portal Email with Credentials: May 27, 2021
PR Portal Submitted Address and Photo: May 27, 2021
Address Confirmed: May 28, 2021
eCOPR: May 28, 2021
PR Card: Waiting over 100 days

Called IRCC - they told the card sent to production. No updates since yet.

Who experience the same with Etobicoke office and PR confirmation portal? I know several people who received Confirmation Portal Email after me, and have already got a PR card (but different VO, not Etobicoke).
I am in same boat i uploaded photos on 7-May

Photos delivered on April 19th, no updates. Have contacted via webform and was told its still processing, gckey shows as submitted.

Its so frustrating to see others receive their pr cards within 2 weeks, while so many of us are waiting for months.

Yesterday received PR card for my daughter.. I still did not receive the card. They mailed both the cards at same time but not sure why my card did not come yet. My daughter’s PR card was processed in Sydney office. Still no updates on my spouse PR card application.
