Haha, I was just saying to my husband today that I can’t wait until he gets his card so we can be done with this until 2025 when he can apply for citizenship (which is currently taking 2 years to process o_O)

It’s pre eCOPR. Portal 1 = the approval email and request to confirm details, Portal 2 = portal access to upload photo and confirm address.

By leaving, you’re giving up your implied status for your work permit. When returning, you’ll be unable to work until you get your eCOPR. I’m a bit confused on how you can have a TRV that’s valid until 2026, my understanding is that once you enter with it they’re only good for 6 months max? If...

I can imagine the stress/anxiety that must have been building. Happy it worked out for you :)

This is very promising news, congrats! We’re Montreal VO as well and received eCOPR a week after you… have travel booked beginning of April, two webforms submitted and MLA has contacted, hopefully it pays off for us! We also booked a back up flight landing across the border and will do land...

If it’s coming days as you said (1 week, 2 weeks?) it wouldn’t be a problem to update your address now. Ultimately they want to know your current address so they can send you your card. But yes, you can also update in the portal once received. Up to you, webform likely won’t be updated before...

Have you received your portal invite yet? If not, the portal invite requests that you confirm your current address, you can change there. You could also submit a webform right now to notify of change of address, however doubt that would be updated before you get portal invite.

Hopefully someone else can confirm, or you can search in the forum, but my recollection from forum discussion is that someone had replied to the email advising they were traveling and would be back in country on (date). They would reply with the relevant information once they’re back in the...

Once eCOPR is received, TRV is no longer valid. I would suggest holding off on the PR portal until you’ve returned from India. If you don’t, and the eCOPR is issued while you’re there, you won’t be able to reenter to Canada without the PR card (which is taking well over a month to receive...

Yes

I said the exact same thing to my husband when we were waiting for his eCOPR for 1.5 months! lol We were all positive and hopeful at the beginning, but then all the complainers were getting their eCOPR’s before we were. Need to adjust our strategy for PR card… should draft up a ranty post :p

I feel you, my husband was 52 days and the wait was very frustrating. Your time is coming, hopefully less than a week for you. There’s no harm in applying. Dependent on the job/industry, the hiring process can take upwards of 30-45 days which would buy you time for the pdf to be issued. Just my...

Unless there’s a legend somewhere on the IRCC website explaining the colours, this is a theory and not a fact. Wouldn’t read too much into it, as others have said it’s a system update.

The hyper analyzing of the portal makes me lol sometimes. So many posts of ~*WhAt DoEs It MeAn*~ trying to decipher if IRCC is sending a secret message. This change of colour is likely a web designer who is over the previous colour and decided to change to another one. Unless someone in this...

… But if you review the spreadsheet you’ll note that’s not the norm? By choosing to listen to one select thread, you’re ignoring that there are many other threads that also have people in the same situation. Canadian Experience Class is not the only program that has applicants waiting for eCOPR...

Here’s a ECOPR tracking spreadsheet that has a tab for PR cards. You’ll note that PR card issuance time is trending much longer than a week. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zrhyJlAQysSDm0cp18DRYz8iCUfYrGiBlSzkWrqU96E/edit

If you were to review this thread, you’d see this same question was answered yesterday. Please review the thread before posting the same question.

Good call on banks… I searched the forum and there was a member who reported you can update with the bank, but it’s not required. Under CRA, your old and new SIN will be linked. Any time an institution reports earnings under your old SIN, it’s automatically reported to your new SIN. Looking...

Potentially renew driver’s licence. In BC, the expiry on my husband’s DL is the expiry of his temporary work visa. Will need to go into renew now that he has PR. Not sure about health card, definitely SIN. What I read online is your temporary SIN can be used until new SIN is received. But best...

If you have a look at everyone’s tracking in this thread, you’ll note that receiving eCOPR after declaration/address/photos ranges anywhere from 3 days to 2-3 months. As you’re only at day 8, this is not an “issue” but within normal processing times.
