Hi, @Miss bee I also have another question concerning the Imm 5669, my spouse didn’t complete her university masters course and I indicated that in her personal history section, however I didn’t mention that in her educational section because she didn’t complete the course. Is there a cause for concern here? Thank you
There is no cause for concern in your situation. You did the correct thing by including your spouse’s master’s program in her personal history section, even though she did not complete the course. The personal history section of the IMM 5669 form is meant to account for every activity and time period, whether completed or not, so indicating that she studied at a university for her master’s degree during that time is exactly right. The education section, on the other hand, is generally meant for completed formal education — programs for which a degree, diploma, or certificate was awarded. Since your spouse did not finish her master’s program, it is acceptable that you did not list it there. IRCC officers are mainly looking for consistency between sections and no unexplained gaps in the timeline. The fact that the studies are shown in the personal history means you have been transparent, and that’s what matters most. If you want to be extra cautious, you could include a brief Letter of Explanation clarifying that the master’s program was not completed, which is why it does not appear under education, but this is not required. Overall, your approach is accurate and should not create any issue in your application.

Hi @Miss bee

My FD was on 1st October and Copr details as well but i am still waiting for PPR?

Please help me like what i have to do?
Thanks
If your Final Decision (FD) was made on October 1st and you can already see your COPR details but have not yet received your Passport Request (PPR), there’s generally no need to worry. After a final decision is recorded, it often takes a few weeks for IRCC to issue the PPR email, which is the final step before you can send your passport or photos for visa stamping or eCOPR confirmation. In recent months, many applicants have reported waiting anywhere from two to six weeks after FD for their PPR, and in some cases, depending on the visa office, even up to eight to twelve weeks. The timing varies based on factors like where your file is being processed, internal workload, and whether your application is inland or outland. For now, keep checking both your IRCC account and your email inbox (including junk or spam folders), since the PPR email may come from different IRCC or visa office addresses such as “@cic.gc.ca” or “@international.gc.ca.” If it’s been more than six weeks since your final decision and you still haven’t received anything, you can use the IRCC Webform to send a polite inquiry. In your message, mention that your application shows a final decision on October 1st with COPR details available, but that you are still waiting for your passport request letter. This step can sometimes help prompt a response or at least confirm that your case is in the queue for finalization.

Based on your current progress, you are quite far along in the process. Since your eligibility, medical, and criminality have all been passed and information sharing is completed, the only remaining step is security screening, followed by a final decision (FD) and then the passport request (PPR). Security is often the most unpredictable stage because its duration depends on background verification and coordination with external agencies.

Typically, once eligibility is passed and all other stages are clear, most applicants receive their final decision or PPR within 1 to 3 months, though in some cases it can take a bit longer—especially if security takes time to start or complete. Since your PAL (Pre-arrival Letter) was issued on October 29, 2025, you are very close to the end, and it’s reasonable to expect your PPR between late November 2025 and early January 2026, assuming no additional reviews are required. But again it all depends on your security check and office working on your application.
 
@Miss bee - I received my P2 on October 22nd, but there’s still no update on my eCOPR. I’ve noticed that people who got their P2 on October 24th, 25th, and even 27th have already received their eCOPR. Should I just wait, or would it be better to raise a webform or take any other action?

It’s understandable to feel anxious seeing others with later P2 dates receive their eCOPR before you, but it’s quite common for the final step to vary from one applicant to another. After receiving your P2, the issuance of the eCOPR can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the workload of your visa office, the type of application, and internal processing queues. Some offices process eCOPRs in batches, which can create apparent inconsistencies in timelines. Since it’s been just over a week or so since your P2, it would still be considered within the normal waiting range. At this point, it’s best to wait at least 2–3 weeks before raising a webform or contacting IRCC, unless you notice an unusually long delay or technical issue (for example, if your portal status hasn’t changed at all). In short, you’re still within normal processing time, and patience is usually the best approach right now.

Hi @Miss bee ,

I have a question. My wife will start a new job next week, and we listed her current employer in the personal history section as of December 2024. I also expect to receive the AOR in about two weeks.

Since I am the principal applicant, do we need to submit a web form right after she starts the new job, or is it okay to leave it as is? Another option could be submitting the web form after receiving the AOR.

I will be waiting for your reply.

Since your wife is the dependent and not the principal applicant, minor changes such as a new job are generally not considered critical at this stage unless IRCC specifically requests updated personal history or employment information. However, since you anticipate receiving your AOR in about two weeks, it’s best to wait until after you receive it before submitting any updates through a web form. Once you have your AOR, you can use it to reference your application number when submitting the update, ensuring it’s properly linked to your file. While it’s not mandatory to report this immediately, doing so after the AOR is received helps keep the information consistent and avoids confusion later in the process.

Where do you see the info sharing, security and criminality information? Because the tracker only shows medical, biometrics, eligibility and background. Also did you apply from inside canada? I am an Aug 4 applicant too but never got PAL.
 
If your friend is applying for permanent residence under a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) non–Express Entry stream, the requirement to show proof of funds depends on her specific situation. Generally, applicants under non–Express Entry PNP streams do not need to provide proof of settlement funds if they already have a valid job offer in the nominating province or are currently working in Canada. However, since your friend is not working right now and has only applied to restore her status as a visitor, she will likely need to show proof of funds to demonstrate that she can support herself and any dependents after becoming a permanent resident. The province or IRCC may request recent bank statements or financial documents during the PR application process. Once she obtains a work permit and starts working, the job and income can help fulfill this financial requirement more easily.
Thanks Miss bee,
Since there is no requirement on Checklist of providing proof of funds, but guide has written that applicants need to show funds. If she doesn’t upload proof of funds when submitting PR application, is there chance her file could be returned as incomplete or IRCC will ask later if required?
