Hey Guys, Hope you all are doing well. We are also kind of in a similar situation, so needed some advice from you all. My wife, the primary applicant, is in India and I, the secondary applicant, am in the US currently. Our COPR expired on Jun 17, 2021 and our medicals also expired on the same...

Anyone whose COPR expired recently and could not travel due to travel ban?

About 2 years to get a PPR. 2 months to get COPR, after sending my passport to Canada CPC Ottawa. And now they are not letting me travel, even though I am ready to move permanently. So, the wait game is still on.

Seems like you cannot travel to Canada yet, if you are from any other country apart from the US and got your PR after Mar 2020. They are saying you need to apply for an Authorization Letter (AL) before you plan to travel, which is getting approved on case by case basis. I guess it is required...

Good info, thanks! Are you quarantining in a hotel/airbnb or some relatives' place? Also, can you please share the steps or any documentation for transferring your car from US to Canada?

Just an update. I received my passport today at 8 am. Tracker was activated yesterday and I received the passport today, that was fast. All in all, it took me two months to receive my passport with counterfoil and COPR. Sent on Jan 13, received on March 17.

Oh ok, that is interesting. In my case, I got a notification also in email and the tracker got activated in FedEx's tracking website.

I just wanted to update that my FedEx tracker has been activated today. So basically, my application was approved on Mar 10 and tracker got activated today, Mar 16. Hopefully it will be delivered by end of this week. So, all in all, it usually takes about 2 weeks from date of approval to...

For those who have already received their passports, how long is it usually taking to receive it from the date of approval? Just trying to assess to get a rough estimate.

Oh ok, interesting! Can someone else also confirm that please? Couple of follow-up questions: 1. My sister lives in Toronto. Can I ship my household goods to her place before I move? 2. Can I apply for visitor-visa to Canada now that my PR has been approved? 3. If so, any idea how long is...

Quick question. Is it possible for me to do the paperwork for my car and then just ship it through one of these shipping services? Or, do I need to be physically present while moving my car cross border from US to Canada? My sister lives in Toronto, so I can ship it to her if that is an option...

Congratulations man!

Guys, Finally, after two excruciatingly long years, my application has been approved in the system. Tracker not activated yet, but it's a matter of time I believe. We applied as a couple and my wife was the primary applicant. Unfortunately, she had to move back to home country in Oct 2019...

Congratulations! May I ask when was your passport received by CPC Canada?

Not exactly the same timelines but my passport was received by CPC Ottawa on Jan 13, 2021. No update ever since, not even a request for updated photograph. My medical expires in Jun 2021. Not sure why they are squatting on our passports for so long.

What happens if you get vaccinated before moving to Canada? You still need to get COVID tests done and quarantine yourself? Because the vaccine slots have started opening up in our city here.

That is good to know. Did you have to submit your COPR or something as a proof or that is not required?

Thanks! - Oh that's good to know that by land there is no need to book a hotel. - Unfortunately there are no Canadian banks in Memphis, TD, RBC, CIBC, BMO Harris. The closest TD bank branch to Memphis is 7.30 hrs away in Ashville, NC. Is it possible to open an account in that branch if I don't...

Wohoo! Congratulations! Big relief, isn't it? Quick question. Would you be staying in a state authorized hotel until your Covid test comes? Also, question for the group. How are you guys taking or planning to move your cash from US to Canada? I live in Memphis, TN and there is no Canadian bank...

I know it's very tough these days.
