Hey guys,

I sent my passport and photos to receive copr. But I got both photos back, one glued to copr and another loose one. What photo do they use for PR card? Did they already scan these photos?

On credit history, I just learnt that AMEX credit card holders (exception AMEX travel card) may be able to transfer their credit history to Canada and get a credit card immediately. Does anyone have experience doing this? Its cool to have some credit history other than Zero.

I tried this but Amex wantee an address proof which I won't have for a month. I went ahead with BMO and TD credit cards, they were approved and my score is already 700 in a week.

Will apply to Amex in a month.

First thing you should do in Canada is start your credit account or else it's hard to @MoveCan_ Buyhouse_

I wish it was as easy like those signs you see at some stores "NO CREDIT - ONLY CASH". I would carry some cash along. But hey, if you want to buy a house no one can stop you. If I were to buy, I would look for South Asians owner, we love hard cash.

Are you outland? You need to upload it in your portal.

Folks - I have seen a lot of people after sending their passport to IRCC post here saying Counterfoil Generated ! (I believe it refers to the visa stamped on passport)
How do they know that the counterfoil has been generated? What’s the best way to find this apart from calling IRCC ?

Before landing? Or upon landing?

Yes, this is the photo they use for your PR card. So, they must've scanned it already. (Bear in mind that they sometimes reject photos for the PR card even after issuing the COPR).

I assume that the second photo that is returned (the one with the photographer details) is just for proof that it was taken by a professional photographer.

If you're outland, you don't have to. Unless they reject your photo when processing the PR card.

Can you please explain how you got your credit score to be 700 in a week? Used your past history in some way?

Try to use another browser, or clear cache. IRCC's website is the worst, using it is like playing russian roulette .

As long as there was no letter saying they rejected your photos, you can assume they have scanned it. Your PR card will not have an actual photo attached to it, it will be printed on.
