    Nope, no response on re-entering before the PR card is issued. But they did not physically cancel my TRV by stamp or striking through it. I will update you guys later on to let you know how it goes with that issue. Most likely I'll get the PRTD while abroad.

    Yes! It should come soon :) I'll keep checking the thread for your good news! Hey malican. Yes, so even though my immigrant visa has an issue date of 12th July (I'm assuming this is the point it was only printed but not attached), the status on myCIC did not change to application approved /...

    Good news - Received my passport + COPR today!! Since we submitted a couple days apart, I'm sure you'll get yours soon too! So this puts me just 5 days beyond the 6 month average timeline.

    Hey jamaicangirl88, I submitted my passport on 10th July and also have not received any word yet. And myCIC account still says background check in progress. I'm confused because from reading other threads I thought that PPR always comes after BGC is complete H

    the problem with this option is: based on the average processing time for PR cards, it's unlikely that mine would be ready for my return journey

    Sorry I should've said "stop over" in toronto, because I'll be spending a week before my onward travel. I'm not sure if you're aware, but after becoming a landed immigrant, your PR card is necessary for boarding any commercial transport entering Canada (airline, bus, ship etc) for verification...

    Hey guys! I also have another concern. I did not expect to get PPR this soon and had previously made travel plans for August, coincidentally with transit both ways through Toronto. I am not yet prepared for "landing" and furthermore cannot do it this time around, since my PR card would never be...

    Hi MonzB , Thanks for your reply. I did in fact send an email, but while waiting for a response, thought I should get an idea of how long they generally take with the passports. Hoping it works out for me and I can either submit the passport now and have it back in time OR get an extension. Have...
