Hi all, I have a question:
My PR was just approved today Jul 12 (Passport required country, and delivered in Ottawas on Jun 26, tracker not yet activated). But on the website it says "expiry date 2018/03/10".
What does that mean? Am I going to have to renew it in the next few months?

No it means you have to land before that date.

It is the last day to finish landing

How was your landing?
I was thinking about doing it there.
Did they mention if they are doing it during the weekends?

smooth - didnt ask for weekend

Oh thanks a lot. I'm already inland. Does the PR have an expiry date though?

Is there any specific time to do landing in Niagara??? I heard it is 24X7. Can someone confirm this?

Mine expiry date show Nov 26 though, why is it different?

Because I'm already inland, do I need to re-enter the country to activate the PR? Is there such a thing as activating the PR? Or once I receive my passport with PR I am good to go

I am not sure, actually they know I'm inland based on all my paperwork. I don't know why they gave me a max date to land here.

Even you are inland you have to do landing you can book appointment or can do country out.

It is based on the date of your medicals. 1 year from the medical.

Not really. You don't have to "renew" your PR. It is based on minimum number of days you stay in Canada. I think right now it is 2 out of 4 or 5 years. As long as you meet that criteria your PR will be valid.

oh yeah, I think that makes perfect sense, thanks for the answer

The expiry date shown in your online CIC account is the expiry date of your confirmation of permanent residency (COPR) document and not your PR status. You will need to land (activate your permanent resident status) before that expiry date. The COPR expiry date is usually tied to date when your medical report expire. Hence applicants will have different expiry dates as you both have noticed.

@ dvddecarvalho, your PR status will expire 5 years after your landing date. You can renew it then or apply for citizenship once you complete 3 out of 5 years as PR (Bill C-6 rule change as of June 19). As an immigration rule, you cannot do in Canada landing unless you make an appointment at a in Canada CIC office or flagpole at a USA/Canada land border to activate your PR. Why you ask? Because Immigration Officials have to confirm who you say you are in-person and not just issue you a paper to change your status permanently in Canada. That's why one of your COPR copies will come attached with one of your photo that you submitted for your PR card so that they can verify you in-person.

I hope this helps. Congrats to you both for making it this far. Cheers!!!
