@Nqur, I'm taking along my transcripts, degrees and other professional documents just in case. Have you figured out housing? I'm going with airbnb for the first few weeks, since most properties I've reached out to need an employment letter.

@Mthornt, thanks for your response! It’s Toronto. I’ll probably try it then. Thanks again :)

Hello Everyone, Has anyone tried Airbnb as a short term option upon landing? Also any tips on the best sites to find an apt or a room share would be very helpful.

@Nqur, congrats! Yeah mine was approved last Thursday, but it hasn't been mailed yet :( I'll just keep sending CSEs until I get it, because I'm getting pretty desperate now.

@arimame, just an update. My online profile status changed to 'Approved' yesterday.

ok update! Just checked my online profile/ cic. It was updated to 'Approved'. :) Now just waiting for the tracking info for the self-addressed envelope to be activated. Hope yours gets to Ottawa very soon!

Hi! Does anyone know how long it takes for COPR processing at Los Angeles? I sent a request for urgent processing since I will be traveling for a work-related training next month and I would need my passport. I haven't heard anything back. Has anyone been successful in putting in a request?

Hi @legalfalcon, I put in a request with my visa office in Los Angeles for the urgent processing of the COPR and visa stamping, because I have a medical mission training next month, and I'd need to apply for a visa to attend the training. I included in my messages, the invitation letter from the...

hmm... did you indicate the contents of the package? I know at UPS, the rep insisted that I indicate it was a passport. Maybe that would have helped. I've no idea though.I hope they sort it out soon! Yeah I feel really bad, because I freaked out, and I contacted the visa office multiple times...

Did you send it through fedex or ups? That's weird. I sent mine through ups and it was fine. I'm freaking out and pretty stressed, but mostly because I don't know if the passport will be returned in time to attend a medical mission that requires a visa to get into the country. :(

I will let you know. I haven't heard back yet. :(

Yeah, I logged in and nothing has changed. :( The tracking hx on the mailed passport shows that it was delivered on August 8th. I'm not sure what happens between the time of receipt to the COPR processing and visa stamping. My visa office is in Los Angeles, and there're fewer threads on the...

Hi @Nqur, any updates? Still waiting on my end. It’s been 10 working days since my passport was delivered.

Hi everyone, Is anyone familiar with the success of putting in a request to expedite passport processing along with the COPR? I’m freaking out a bit since I’ve a medical mission training and thé period to apply for a visa for thé training is fast approaching.

Hello Everyone, I submitted my passport and other docs for COPR about a week ago. Does anyone know what the processing time looks like from PPR to COPR? I've seen a few that took about 3 days. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Does anyone know how long it takes nowadays from PPR to COPR?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how long it takes to receive COPR after mailing one's passport?

@Miraclejj I was wondering if you have an idea or an estimate of how long it takes for the LA office to mail out the COPR from receipt of the passport?

Hi congrats! I got the PPR email on 7/31 and submitted my passport last week. My LVO is in LA. I"m guessing yours is in Ottawa? I haven't heard anything yet, but from what I've seen on some forums it could vary from a few days to about 2 weeks. I'm hoping mine is within a few days; keeping my...

Thanks so much! Ok, I'll do that. Thanks again for your support. It kept me less anxious these past few months. :)
