CoPR Inland and Covid-19

[BlackBearReloaded]

I haven't seen any news for people in our situation in the last few days (people who received the passport back and CoPR letter via mail). It seems like the best situation is for those who received the CoPR via email because they also got their PR approval/ landing via email later.

Unfortunately, we will have to wait until the offices or border offices are open again.

Hey guys, I received an email this morning, seemingly landing me remotely. “I am pleased to advise that your application for pr in Canada is now complete. Congratulations! You are now pr of Canada...This letter is an official doc issued by Ircc. You can provide a you are pr & to apply for gov benefits & services...you are still required to submit documentation to obtain pr card...”

I’ve paraphrased some of the info above. The letter goes on to say that if I have the CoPR document, I need to send it off with a photo to the address indicated. I received passport back from Ottawa on May 25th. I was just waiting until ircc offices reopen or the borders to do flagpoling.

You may soon get an email then, because I was not expecting a remote landing either. Fingers crossed.

Glad to hear that. I hope I will get the same email soon.

Did you send a webform requesting your landing?

I have done that twice but no answer so far.

No, I didn’t. I was just waiting and hoping that the IRCC offices would have opened soon.

Congratulations!! thank you for updating us here.
Happy to know they are processing the CoPR inland.
Do you have all you need to apply PR card although the CoPR document is not signed?

Thank you! Yes, I do believe so. The letter has instructed me to send the CoPR document along with one photo to start the process of the PR card, which they acknowledge may have delays. But the letter is good for 1 year as proof of my status. So, I’ll be taking it with me every where

I guess what's important is PR card, OHIP (if the current one expired) and new SIN.

But with that letter he can apply for a new SIN and for the province healthcare plan, thus it's still a good thing to have it. In my case I need just this letter to get a new SIN because my current WP will expire in July. With the new SIN, I will not be on a hurry to get the PR card.

By the way, they just replied a web form I sent on Monday. I asked for information about how to proceed with the landing and that I already had received the CoPR letter and my passport a few weeks ago. The answer says my situation is resolved but I haven't received that email saying I am already a PR. I hope that email is on their "queue".

I also noticed an update in my IRCC profile. My COPR letter was updated to invalid today. I hope they will generate a new virtual one with the PR email.

Mine was updated to the same this morning. I had sent a webform two weeks ago asking for how to proceed with confirmation of PR, but I received the generic response which said all appointments are cancelled etc. My COPR expires on July 8 this year, hopefully will receive something in the email soon.

A friend of mine said that 2 days after getting this update he got the PR confirmation email. I hope we will get ours by Monday or Tuesday.
