Original Entry Date on COPR

[robw]

Hi everyone,

I did my landing back in 2013 and I was just looking at my COPR.

In the field "Original Entry Date" on the COPR is confusing. I came to Canada back in 2006 as a visitor (and then again in early 2007) for a period of 1 week each.

In late 2007, I came to Canada to study and stayed here almost continuously until I got my PR.

Based on this, what's my original entry date? Is it 2006 (the very first time I came here as a visitor) or late 2007 (when I came here as a student)?

Thanks!

Why does it matter? If you a PR, couldn't just look at the stamp date on your COPR?

Actually this info is required to issue the COPR in the first place. These dates will be in the COPR.

Why would you care? That date is completely irrelevant.

Still it would be the last time you enter Canada whenever that was.

Hey! We are in the same situation. What original entry date did you use? And the bad thing was I’ve been using my first entry date when i was filing up forms when i came here in canada as a student in 2016 not when i came here as a visitor in 2013. How can i correct this one? Is this misrepresentation?? Any thoughts? @legalfalcon
