You have to provide a police certificate for any country you have lived in 6 months or more since you have turned 18. It is very misleading but it does need to be provided. We lived in Th UK for a year from 2018-2019 and we had to provide a police certificate from there as well.

We are currently in Australia, my husband is the applicant he has had COPR since January. We leave next month for Canada

It will depend on your visa office but from Pre Arrival letter to PPR it was about 2 weeks. My husbands office was Sydney Australia. The Background Verification did not change until they had sent his COPR back to him. So in total from Pre Arrival to everything completed and in his hand was 3-4...

It’s no problem, my husbands was stamped and took almost the whole photo, he just wrote his name right under it. They accepted it no problems, it’s not a photo with a guarantor needed it’s just for identification

Our office was unknown, however the passport request came from Sydney Australia. We do live in Australia so maybe that was the office. I’m sure you can contact them on the web form and ask. It’s difficult not knowing what is happening, I hope you get some answers.

I don't think you will get them back, you may have to order new ones.

they will send back a paper COPR to use at the border and your other photo that isn’t attached to the COPR and I think my husband got a letter or something giving him direction for when he gets to the border

We sent a scanned copy

My husband, myself and 2 daughters live in Australia. I’m Canadian, husband is Australian, and daughters are dual. We had two witnesses at our wedding, we did not send photos of any type. We sent our marriage certificate, proof we live together, joint bank account, utility bills etc. because you...

It does state 12 months however it was just under 5 months for my husband. We live in Australia and are moving to Canada in June. I’m not sure what your best option is but I did want to let you that they aim to have applications that are pretty straightforward completed within 12 months but it...

He got his DM when his medical was passed and he got PPR and then his COPR was in hand in under a month. However I think depending on how busy the visa office is and which visa office it can take longer or shorter. We had the Sydney Australia Visa Office.

My husband didn’t get a DM on GCKey until his COPR was issued. It stayed as in progress until then.

I think this differs from person to person and also depends which Visa Office etc. Ours was under a month from Medical exam pass to PPR to COPR.

There are 2 applicants your wife and her son, you aren’t an applicant because you are already a citizen. That wording confused us as well

No worries at all! :)
