Hi
@Miss bee
I received Portal 1 email on April 30 (replied the same day), and got Portal 2 email on May 15.
However, I have a scheduled international travel between June 8 and June 15 (this came up after I replied to Portal 1).
Now that given the processing time of eCOPR and new PR card, I think it's very unlikely that I would receive the physical PR card before my travel. I do have a valid TRV right now, but I'm aware that will become void after eCOPR and I might not be able to board a plane. In the meantime, I do not have a valid US visa so I cannot arrive Canada by land in private vehicle with eCOPR.
I have informed IRCC via webform and also replied to the email address in the Portal 1 email, but have yet to receive a reply. Given the deadline to reply Portal 2 is due tomorrow, I'm wondering whether I should just confirm my physical presence in Canada (which is true that I'm indeed in Canada right now) and submit PR photo today, and let them decide how to proceed.
I know PRTD is a thing, but it's hard to know whether it will be processed within 7 days. Also, I'm not travelling to my home country, so I will be restricted by the visa to stay legally as well.
What do you think?
