can you share which exact location they booked you at (who accepted this letter for health card). And do you need to book an appointment or we can just walk in. Thanks
PR confirmation portal timelines
- Thread starter iwantvisa
- Start date
The only Service Ontario in Brampton that accepts clients that are new PR is located at 1 Gateway Boulevard Brampton, Ontario L6T 0G3. If you don't book an appointment I doubt you will get in. I recently went without an appointment I didn't get in because they were overbooked with appointments.
No worries and good to know. Made my appointment on October 7th and just got my OHIP card today in the mail. Definitely faster and more effective that IRCC hahaha

waiting for PR cards
It's not necessary to do. On your CIC home page you should look for a link "Add your application to your account" and then follow the steps.
After a 9-week wait for my portal credentials, I received my eCoPR yesterday! This was one day after receiving my portal credentials and then signing the declaration, confirming my address and uploading my photo. I'm now waiting for IRCC to review my address and photo, and then to receive my physical PR card. I don't know my processing office, but I am in Québec.
Between the initial portal letter and receiving my portal credentials, I emailed IRCC 7 or 8 times; submitted the web form (as did my lawyer); tried calling IRCC; and contacted two members of parliament whose offices demanded information from IRCC on my behalf. I received no communications or information from IRCC through these efforts, but maybe they helped--I don't know.

Thanks for the information. Is it possible to get new SIN based on the email confirmation that PR has been approved (while waiting for eCOPR in portal) ?
