Glad to hear I wasn't the only one! If it helps, after I got that second invitation, I called IRCC and was told by the agent over the phone to ignore the email. However, I also emailed the IRCC portal email and got a reply telling me to re-upload photo and address. I spent a long time going back...

@bellaluna Thanks for your response! I called IRCC this morning regarding the status of my PR card and was able to ask about this situation as well. The agent gave me a lecture about the incorrectness of declaring myself as a visitor when I'm actually a PR, but he also confirmed that there would...

Question in title. I am a US citizen/passport holder, Canadian PR as of Aug 2021, but have not yet received my first PR card. I recently traveled to the States for 2 weeks and upon return to Canada through YYC, I gained entry at a self-service kiosk by scanning my US passport, since I do not...

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well... I received eCoPR through the online PR portal in August 2021, submitted address and photo through the portal which were confirmed and accepted as of early Sept (and my access to the PR portal ended 30 days after that), but still have not...

Hi! Same thing happened with me - received eCoPR with no movement on the OWP. What I did was submit a webform request to withdraw the OWP application right after I received eCoPR. I got a reply from them 1-2 weeks later stating that they had added a note to the file that I wished to withdraw the...

Hi - so sorry to hear you're going through all of this, it sounds really stressful!! I applied on my own, so I can't address your concerns about your lawyer, but with regard to the question about status, it's my understanding that by applying for the OWP, you are under implied status until you...

1. Yes, it's legitimate - you just reply directly to the email with the requested details 2. Sorry, not sure about this one - I am the principal applicant, and I was also the one who received the email!

Wondering if anyone else could help confirm this point, as I keep receiving conflicting information, with some sources insisting that without a PR card or PRTD, I would risk getting denied boarding for a flight from the US to Canada. I know that right now, US citizens in general can fly into...

Great - as in, I can use just my US passport to board the plane and also to enter at the border as a PR? Is it that I don't need proof of my PR status because they can confirm it using my passport?

Hi! I actually had the same question - US citizen, in Canada right now with eCoPR but no PR card yet, looking to see if I can fly to the States and return with just my US passport and eCoPR (and PCR test). To clarify, is it that my US passport is all I need to board the plane, and then at the...

I am curious about this as well! I received eCOPR on Aug 25th, followed by a portal email on Sept 7th that said "IRCC has approved and closed your case. Your PR card will be mailed to you at the address provided." My address and photo were accepted in the portal as of Sept 7th, but my gckey...

Yes, my email was legitimate!! I received a PR Confirmation Portal email (the one I posted about here) on Aug 20th and another one on Aug 22nd. The PDF letters attached to both emails were really strange, like unfinished, unofficial templates (the second one even had an editing "comment" in a...

Hi everyone! Curious to hear from anyone who applied for OWP at the same time as PR. Has anyone had any updates on the OWP application? I recently received my portal information email but haven't heard anything about the OWP application, so it seems PR is going to be finished first. I actually...

Awesome - thanks so much for the update, and congrats to you as well!! So excited that this process is finally almost over!! Hopefully this thread will also be helpful for anyone in the future who also receives a similar email from IRCC :)

Thanks so much! Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who got a slightly questionable email....If you're able to get an answer from them eventually, would be grateful for an update!

Thanks so much!! Did the PDF letter they sent you also include the unusual blanks where it seems like information should have been filled in? The weirdest part to me is that the middle of the letter says "If you can’t access online tools such as the portal, or if you experience any technical...

Hi all! I received an email this morning from an @cic.gc.ca email address with the subject line "IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal." The body of the email reads: "Welcome to the Permanent Resident Confirmation portal process. The attached PDF contains information and instructions...

Just wanted to update here in case anyone else is looking for more info on this: We mailed in my request to be added to my spouse's MSP along with relevant PR receipts and documents showing my visitor status in BC, delivered to the Health Insurance BC office on Feb 15th. On March 8th we got a...

@Chutsk10 @KingKcaj Thanks so much for the replies! We paid all of our PR fees in December and have the receipt from Dec 15, so hopefully the 3 month waiting period starts from that date, since from what I understand that was when I was first eligible....Would have applied immediately if I had...

Hi! Just curious, how long did it take for your wife's MSP coverage to begin after you submitted the application?
