Hey, nope, not quite yet. Slow process. It seems I need to also change my name in BC. I am currently waiting for that to come through then I can apply for a new PR card with new name.

I didn’t think much of it but I am now needing to change my name on my PR card and it is asking for COPR. I never received this back when I received my PR card. Anyone else been in this situation? Are they sent direct to email or access through portal? Ircc super unhelpful and saying to apply...

Okay, thank you so much for responding! I read under eligibility that you have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more; you could be eligible? was basing it off of this being together for less than a year and getting married would this be under more scrutiny??

I am currently on an IEC visa with 7months left. I am living with my partner who is a Canadian citizen but we have only officially been living together since October 2020. I am unsure what my best option is to stay in Canada after my visa expires. Is an open work permit an option? I have been...
