Next steps after ITA submission

[Pac_man]

Can anyone tell me from experience what the next step is after ITA submission? I know it can take up to 6mths etc... but i am interested to know what happens after you are accepted? do you get a visa? do you get a timeframe to travel to canada? is their more fees or paperwork to fill in?

Thanks

After you get approved, you receive a PPR (Passport Request) from the Visa office. You send your passport for visa stamping. You get CoPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence) and that letter is used to travel to Canada. There is a time frame during which you have to visit Canada after CoPR to complete the landing procedure.

If you do not pay the RPRF (Right to Permanent Residency Fee) along with your Application fee, then you need to pay it after your application is approved.

I think this is what happens after you submit eAPR. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

I have already paid all fees upfront.
So basically it is a waiting game on either being accepted or rejected....

And then after that the visa is issued > travel to Canada (presume all entrants on Application need to travel or is just primary applicant) > passport stamped > Job done?? Or is there another step to do in Canada

Interesting IELTS score, Pac_man. Usually Writing and Speaking sections are the hardest to get perfect scores on, with R and L being substantially easier. Kudos!

Congrats for your ITA! I remember you were quite anxious yesterday because of your EE profile status.

TBH - I done my IELTs hungover and I dont think i paid full attention in the R / L part of the exam. Plus i was probably a little too blasé with the whole IELTs thing.... Sometimes i wish i had put in a little more effort so i could have scored all 9's....But oh well...

Good luck with your ITA submission!

Hey did you get your ITA? I remember you posting yesterday saying there was some issue with an update on your profile or something

Yes I did, thanks for asking. I ended up reverting my profile (undoing the changes) and I guess that worked.

After ITA submission, there a long and painful wait until you get a PPR.

Any idea what's the average time they take to send PPR, assuming everything we've submitted is in perfect order?
I have a hunch that it would take between 70-90 days after eAPR submission.

Nobody can say for sure. application times vary

Long and painful is subjective. I submitted a US green card application in december that I know will probably not be adjudicated even in a year's time, given some recent and unfortunate delays. You just deal with it and go on with your life. Once you submit, what can you really do? This is different from waiting for an ITA and wondering whether you'll ever make the cutoff. Once you submit a PR application, you've done all you can, and it's time to just focus on living.
