Hi, I'm doing my Canada citizenship application and i have a few questions (I'm already a Permanent Resident, having lived in Canada for 5 years btw) 1] It asks if I had a temp foreign visa and if i applied to extend it, but I don't know whether to put 'yes' or 'no' (I had an IEC visa for 2...

Hi, Has anyone else applied online for a new sin number recently (under change of status) after getting PR lately, only to receive a letter two weeks later saying they couldnt process the online sin request due to missing documentation? I attached all the necessary documentation, so was...

Yes online as Service Canada aren't open, I selected 'change status' (to permanent resident)

I got the ITA on november 27th, then i submitted my completed application/AOR on December 23rd, then finally received COPR on June 3rd (so took 5 months and 1 week) via CEC inland.

Oh i just checked again and my letter only specifies I send ONE photo. It could be different to yours slightly? Yeah I printed the letter and sent it with the photo. Apparently will take 3 months+. I'm currently waiting for the new SIN to arrive - hopefully comes soon!

I only mailed 1 photo as that is all the letter asks for - with your name,dob, uci + studio address and date stamp on the back.

Yes, it's been quite a long road to get to this point- very relieved! Congrats to you too! Fingers crossed the PR card comes soon!

Apparently due to covid you don't need to land if you're already inland - they activate it for you. Yes, i got exactly that! It's not letting me insert the image on here but it says "congratulations, youre now a permanent resident" and that this letter can serve as proof for 1 year, until the...

Oh thanks! So after submitting the photos I assume I just have to wait for the pr card to be mailed to me? I'm in Canada already, but my temp visa expires in 2 weeks, would this be a problem do you think? Also I'm assuming they aren't creating PR cards at the moment?

The emailed letter says to send a copy of this letter with the photos. There's no other steps after. I got this via my ircc account though and not sure if they'll be mailing a hard copy or not. Should I just mail a printout of this letter (as requested) with the photos?

I got the same! But I got it in an email. It has the copr number on it though, so do we need to send the photos as well as a print out of this letter?

Thanks for the reply! It's COPR. Would you know how to do the landing whilst in Canada and still during covid?

Hi all, I received my PR finally (!) i submitted on 23rd December 2019 (EE CEC), so finally received it 3rd June! Whilst I need to get the photos taken and mailed, does anyone know how i can activate the PR within Canada? I have my temporary visa only until 23rd June (2 weeks) so wondering if...

Hi, I applied for PR via CEC and it is currently on the 4 month mark now since I applied. I just received my second lot of GCMS notes, and it says that although criminality and medical are passed, that my EE eligibility requires review - and mentions review particularly of my job letters to...

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to apply for EI without proof of immigration status or work permit? My PR application is at the over halfway mark, and im still waiting for my status to be restored to visitor (i missed getting the implied status). My T4 says i paid into EI premiums, so...

I have the same AOR as you - are you CEC?

Oh is this a thing now? It's been almost 3 months for me since I submitted (under cec) and the online progress bar says I have 15 weeks to go.... The IRCC call centre says it's 6 months for all streams at the moment but it can come before or after that.... It's really frustrating not knowing.

Do you have any update after this? I also had the same thing yesterday - it went from '4 months' to '17 weeks'. I'm applying under canadian experience class though.

Does anyone know roughly the timeline for getting the PR via Canadian Experience Class? IRCC just say it takes 6 months for all streams, but surely it should be less for CEC stream?

Hi, I think my timeline is very similar to you - I got the aor on 23rd December (medical, biometrics and RCMP check requested and submitted) it is at 20% now on the status timeline. Please keep me updated on how yours progresses!
