Hello Guys,
I received PR card today!

It took 53 days to get eCoPR Vo Montreal but PR card processing was remarkably fast.
To my understanding, eCOpr takes time but PR card will be processed quite fast.

For PR card:
ECoPR : 10 Nov
Ghost update 1 PR card: 14 Nov
Ghost update 2 PR card: 21 Nov
Card received: 28 Nov
Came from Sydney Nova Scotia
Took 7 days complete to arrive.

I got GU1 on Oct 16, but still no GU2 for now.
Does anyone have the same situation?

eCoPR: August 14

Dependent
GU1: October 16
GU2: October 31
PR card: November 6

applicant
GU1: October 16
GU2: Waiting
PR Card: Waiting
In my case, GU1 doesn't mean the photo is accepted. Today, I got an email from the portal telling me that they did not accept the original photo. This is a month after I got GU1.

Omg talk about photo finish. My pr journey finally came to an end. After waiting more than 3 months from eCOPR to PR Card, finally our cards showed up in our mailbox, a few hours before our flight to the Philippines.

But there’s a twist, I’m already in the airport and now I have to drive 6 hrs to get the card (I asked my friend to pick up my mail) Wish me luck.

My final timeline.

eCOPR - August 2, 2023
GU1 - November 14, 2023
GU2 - November 22, 2023
PR Card Received: November 28, 2023

Goodluck to everyone!

Did you call them after GU1 and ask them if the photo was accepted?
I had the first GU on November 10, but still no second GU.
But when I called them they told me the photo has been approved and sent to production on Nov 10.
Don't know why it's taking them so long to mail it.

Yeah, PR portal is a joke! I got my card last month and it's still showing "In review with IRCC" on the PR portal so no, I don't trust it =) Linking the PR card application would be the best way to track the card as you can see the ghost updates and all that.
Please do it!
So how did you know when your ecopr is ready? I just really want that. I uploaded my info last week Thursday. How long should it take to get ecopr. VO Montreal I think.

Hello friends
It is possible for those who have experience of crossing the border by their own transport (auto) from America, having an approved CoPR, but still without an eCoPR and PR card. Please share if it is possible.

Ah, they will send you 2 emails, possibly at the same time. First email with the subject:
PR Portal (PR confirmation) - eCoPR Available for Download | Portail RP (confirmation RP) - CRPe prête à être téléchargée

And then, shortly after, should be this:
Congratulations! You are now a permanent resident of Canada!

In my case, the two emails were sent several hours apart. I emailed them when I didn't receive the "Congratulations" email lol. They responded back a few days later, and a week later, they sent me the "Congratulations" email again hahaha

Montreal VO, hmm, these days, it's taking too long. I've known some people waiting 2-3 months for e-COPR :"( I'm not sure when you're gonna get yours :"(

Until today, my portal is still "In review with IRCC", I received my card 4 months ago = ))
