Hey did you know what are your primary and secondary offices? Like mine are Mississauga and Montreal respectively
2024 PR Application timeline
- Thread starter Littlebeee
- Start date
No I didn’t , but all the emails i have received is from cpc Mississauga ! That’s y i think it’s only misssisauga
Yes it is normal. I will suggest you to call Ircc. If you don’t get connection on first attempt try second time. I always get agent on second attempt. They can give you exact information.
Many protected person applicants never receive a second “formal” AOR after the temporary one. If I not mistaken.
So if she received a temp AOR with a file number, that means, her application is already in the system and processing has started.
No its not like that every one receive AOR temporary AOR means your file is in the waiting que no work start while AOR send by ircc when completeness check is done and file officialy start moving towards further stages
I never received AOR. But received pre arrival and eligibility letter. I hope they are working on my application.
1 AOR (Temporary or Full)
IRCC receives application
Completeness check
File number issued
Sometimes only a temporary AOR is sent (and no second AOR)
* This step confirms the file is in the system.
2 Biometrics (If Needed)
If biometrics were already given during refugee claim, they may reuse them
If expired or not given → new biometric request letter
Not everyone gets this again.
3 Eligibility Review
Officer checks:
Protected Person status confirmation
No misrepresentation
Relationship of dependents
Forms & documents completeness
For protected persons, eligibility is usually straightforward.
4 Background Checks (This Is the Long Stage)
This includes:
Criminality check
Security screening
Information sharing
This is the stage that takes the longest.
It can take many months with no updates.
Usually do NOT receive Pre-Arrival letter early
Many never receive a pre-arrival letter at all
5 Medical Examination (If Not Done or Expired)
Sometimes medical happens earlier, sometimes during background.
Protected persons are exempt from excessive demand rules.
6 Final Decision
When all stages are passed:
Status changes to Approved
Portal email (P1) is sent if inside Canada
7 P1 (Portal Email 1)
IRCC asks:

Confirm email & dependents in Canada
You reply.
8 P2 (Portal Email 2)

9 eCOPR (Electronic Confirmation of PR)

Really! Strange i never heard it before
This is a news for me i never heard it before
Yes, this is completely normal, many applicants wait a few weeks or 1–3 months or longer or some people even receive COPR without ever getting a separate “eligibility passed” message in their GCKey account.
