    Indian Passport Renewal after PR

    Hey, I'm in the same boat as point (1). What did you have to do about it to meet the requirements?

    It just says 'Application Updated' and then goes away after a few hours or so. No information is updated or added.

    PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

    Hey guys, finally after 7 months of waiting, I get my PR card. Timeline: Apr 23 - PR approved Jun 26 - Got CoPR in an email (for some reason, there was a delay of 2 months) Jun 29 - Photos mailed Nov 12 - GU 1 (Card was sent to printing department) Nov 17 - Card printed and mailed Nov 22 - Card...

    @klein, oh 100% agreed that they can come up with better alternates. I just meant that the current CoPR letter might not be enough, but they can easily make it just like an eTA to make lives easier for everyone. It's just a matter of why they don't do any of it?

    I think they can't make it a travel document since airlines can't verify a printout of a letter - they probably want something officially stamped on your passport (which is much harder to scam than a letter printout). I feel they should instead allow valid visas (TRV, Study, Work) to continue to...

    PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

    Hey everyone, as I had discussed 2-3 weeks ago that if a lot of us are in the same boat, we should start a Tweet chain asking for a fair process us waiting on for months vs others getting their cards really within months using the new system. Here's my tweet that I have finally posted. Please...

    PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

    Hey guys, I saw a bunch of people 'liked' my previous post. Maybe reach out to me on Twitter (@abhinavchawla13). I barely use it, but I'll get on it and we can form a group or something and discuss it out! And again to reiterate, we are not going on war against immigration, LOL! We'll just let...

    PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

    @sbastola you're right, and that's my whole point. It's not about how much time is being taken, it's about being inconsistent and unfair to few applicants versus the others. Also, when some people call, they answer and give updates on the application. When others call, they say they are...

    PR card timeline (Etobicoke office only)

    I wish we could start a rally on Twitter pinging Immigration just to ask for a fair process. There are people getting PR approved and their cards within a month, and there is another group of people waiting for months. Worse is, people first couldn't travel due to Covid, and now can't travel due...

    CEC Applicants - Sep 2020 **Join Here**

    Hello guys, I received approval on the portal on April 20 and it shows a COPR document status on it but I never received any follow-up email to upload or send in hard copy for photos and more information, so never received a letter in the portal for COPR (and of course no PR card submission). I...

    Hey guys, just an update. My application was approved on April 23. I didn't get any letter in the portal or mail. I see the status is approved and a document number added for COPR to my portal, but not any letter. I didn't receive an email to upload pictures for the PR card as well. I called in...

    No, I didn't. But I suppose they verified my address when I had called them to ask for an update. I hope it's a simple process for you, seems like the last step before getting that approval. Goodluk!

    CEC Applicants - Sep 2020 **Join Here**

    Wanted to update, I got my approval (on the portal) today (April 23). My AOR was Sept 4. I did not get a call from the immigration before seeing approval (so if others don't, it should be fine). Also, I think I got 2 GUs back to back about 10 days ago (but 1 of them could be a glitch since I...

    I see a lot of the people mentioning "Criminality" and "Security" as different statuses, I only see "Background" on my application online. Also, online it says "Background" is pending, though I called the agent today, he said it is completed. But he didn't mention "Criminality" and "Security"...
