Mine application is of 14 June 2019. Biometric done on 01-03-2022
Sponsorship approval letter was received in first week of march 2022.local visa office allocated Vancouver. No medical or pcc letter yet.
I am surprised how can IRCC process application of 2020 and 2021 batches of PGP without first clearing PGP 2019 application.
Afghanistan and Ukraine refugees are affecting only PGP 2019 applicants. What a sorry state of affairs by a developed country like canada.

PGP 2020 and 2021 are almost same , on fast track but 2019 is behind & affected always by Ukrain & Afghanistan crisis.

Agreed! I am not sure how do they expect us to wait endlessly! Despite submitting all of the documents, processing times way beyond normal, they expect us to wait! wow!

you should get another email when the eCOPR is ready. alternatively, you can login to the portal account and check if eCOPR is already there (in case u missed the email) . Date you became PR is the date of issue on eCOPR.

PR card will come later on (i believe someone mentioned processing time of 106 days?) No need to apply for PR card separately - it should be in process automatically once eCOPR is issued.

You can personally go to the closest VFS Global location or you can arrange a pickup by contacting them. VFS will arrange a 2 way courier so that courier guy could come and pick up the package. Make sure the package has all the VFS forms, Passport submission request, and passport. You will be required to prepare separate packages, one for your Mother, and one for your Father. Call VFS Global, here is the website with VFS phone numbers https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/can/contact-us

Here is the email we received when VFS arranged a 2 way courier:

There may be a delay in pickup and drop of passports as against the stated time, in case of any Government restriction in your area due to COVID or otherwise.

We request you to prepare your envelope / package for pick - up soon after receiving this message. It is recommended that any travel bookings are made only after receiving the processed passport back from the Visa Office.

Note:
1. Please do not send any paper applications and supporting documents using this service. The service as mentioned on the website is a Courier Pick up of Passport Submission for Online Lodged applications, hence VFS is not permitted to process paper applications through this service.
2. The courier provider will only pick up sealed packages and the accuracy of the documents, the condition of the passports, and the payment of correct charges remain on the Applicant.

5. Packages received with incomplete documentation will be sent back to you un-processed at your cost. In order to rebook the services complete charges would be required to be paid again.

Hello,
Thanks for this info. Can I ask you a question?
My father is the primary applicant. I added my mother as dependent. Her name is not on the passport submission letter. How can I create 2 packages?
Thanks

I brought that letter with me indicating you PR application has been approved, they did not accept and ask for COPR so I did not argue.
The officer also gave me a Ministry of Health and Long Term Care form, which is titled "Eligibility Assessment" and asked me to to fax it to the General Manager OHIP if I wanted to get the decision reviewed. I don't think I'm eligible so I didn't send it for review, but I would suggest you to do it. So, get the "Eligibility Assessment" form from any Service Ontario branch, have it filled by an officer and fax it on the number given. I think you are now eligible and would be issued the OHIP card.

Hi. I just received a request for 2nd Medical. First medical pass date is May 28, 2021. Just wondering why I got the request even before the 1st medical expired. Should I send a webform or just go ahead with the 2nd medical. I also submitted PCC last May, so should I submit another PCC in advance even though it has not been requested again. Thanks.

I got my OHIP card already (temporary). I brought copy of eCOPR with application.
