    PR confirmation portal timelines

    Got PR cards yesterday! There was an update on my GCkey account stating that the cards were mailed on Jan. 4th (got an email notification on the 5th), then cards arrived on the 6th from Sydney, NS (I'm in the Ottawa-area). PR portal still shows as photo and address still "in review".

    PGWP expiring soon and no CEC draw

    From my understanding, there are currently no options to extend your PGWP. I believe your best option would be to apply for a temporary resident visa and stop working until a draw occurs - no one knows when the next CEC draw will be. Otherwise, returning to your home country and then submit your...

    Just got my PR card application approved through GCkey portal, says that card was mailed yesterday, on January 4th. I don't see any update in the credential portal - still shows as "in review".

    Medical Passed Then Gone

    It's hard to say, as everyone's case is different. But, I think there is a good chance you will get your portal email in the next couple of weeks. They seem to be trying finalize as many apps as possible before end of year.

    Medical Passed Then Gone

    For me, medical passed again on Nov 10, and I received the first portal email on Nov 11. Got eCOPR, still waiting for our cards.

    Temporary SIN to PR SIN

    Just got my updated SIN. I applied online for my wife and myself (Nov 29). However, I didn't sign the e-CoPR, and for some reason my wife's came in the mail no problem and mine stated that I had to reapply with a signed eCoPR. I went in person and took 15min to get mine. Definitely recommend...

    ** CEC Applicants - Aug 2021 - timeline & updates **

    Just an update regarding IRCC webform for refund requests... As I mentioned, I had included my Canadian-born children as accompanying dependents. They were automatically removed from my application once the biometrics were done for my wife and me. But, the fees were not refunded for their...

    Please help urgent-CEC questions in Canada

    From IRCC, it looks clear to me that you do not need a new PCC unless they request it later: "For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row. Some countries put expiry dates on their police certificates. If you...

    Please help urgent-CEC questions in Canada

    1. That should be sufficient per these guidelines: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence/police-certificates.html 2. The job duties/description matters more than the title. But make sure thatb your reference...

    I really don't think so...drivers license shouldn't be impacted by PR. But that reminded me that I should send my eCoPR to CRA for Canada Child Benefit (CCB)...

    Yes, I was able to link it the same day I got eCoPR. Still waiting for address and photo to be approved.

    ** CEC Applicants - Aug 2021 - timeline & updates **

    For me, I received an email notifying me it was ready to download on the PR portal. Yes, eCoPR is sufficient to extend, and to apply for (or change) SIN.

    ** CEC Applicants - Aug 2021 - timeline & updates **

    From what others have shared, it varies significantly - sometimes based on VO, but honestly seems to be mostly luck. Have you received your eCoPR yet? You should get it soon if not, since you submitted your solemn declaration on Dec. 1st. Once the eCoPR is available for you to download, some...

    Temporary SIN to PR SIN

    I'm curious about this too. I just submitted my online application on Monday. Any idea about current timelines for getting an updated SIN?

    ** CEC Applicants - Aug 2021 - timeline & updates **

    Most likely second time, as the first doesn't send any email update and only lasts on your perusal for a couple of days. From what I've seen, there is little rhyme or reason to how IRCC operates - at least publicly. There are lots of factors to consider and something that has been highlighted...

    For me, I got an email saying that my eCoPR is available on the portal. But, I would probably check the portal once a day, too! I'm pretty sure some folks get it as an email attachment as well.

    **********CEC September 2021 AOR**********

    I got an email telling me that my eCoPR was ready to be downloaded. When I logged into my PR portal account, I had to click on each person (me and spouse) and scroll down to the very bottom of that page where the eCoPR file could be downloaded. After getting the files, I went to my original...
