PR confirmation portal timelines

[Aizique]

The people who are going to get P1's starting January are going to be very lucky ones as they won't have to wait for the holiday season to go by, for them I would assume it would take less than 3 months from P1 to ECOPR but for people who got P1 in Oct, Nov it's gonna be like 4 to 5 months at least from P1 Date to ECOPR because IRCC barely do any work in December.

The truth is that, at this stage no one fully understand how this is issued. So don't be surprised.

Hey thanks, any update on your PR card ? just want to know how long does it take. i have travel plans for next month.

Got no clue because I used a representative. Got my eCoPR on January 06. Someone from Montreal got their PR card yesterday with the same dated eCoPR!

 

[Hyper1013]

I contacted the CRA this morning, and they advised me to wait until my current login linked to the old SIN is deactivated. After that, I can register again with my new SIN and start using the CRA online portal.
They also mentioned that they are not involved in this process.

Does that mean we don't need to call them separately to update our SIN? So, all we gotta do is wait for the old one to be deactivated and then we can create a new one using our new SIN?

I think you mentioned that they have approved your address in the portal and not your photo? If that's the case then you will receive it in under 3 weeks just like mine.

After @Hyper1013 got his COPR @Aizique has taken over the driving seat to motivate us all.
Thank you guys for your active and motivated posts , It gives hopes for all the waiting people like us

Still here! All for one and one for all!

Yeap, just got off the phone with a CRA agent. Told me the same. Service Canada will transmit the data over to them once a week. To know that your SIN is transferedr, use your OLD SIN to log in, if it doesnt let you then you can create a new CRA account using the NEW SIN.

I logged into my CRA acocunt using my old SIN and still works, meaning Service Canada has yet to transfer it. I'll probably give it until next week to try again.

Yes, my address was approved. Declaration is still showing as Submitted and Photo is In Review. If they accepted our address, does that mean that our photo was also approved because I didn't get any emails after our eCoPR? Or does someone else checks the photo and then send the email separately? Also, when your PR card was approved/mailed, did you receive any emails? Hoping I receive it soon! Fingers Crossed!

your declaration will remain submitted and since they have approved your address I am pretty sure that they have prepared your PR Card and mailed it to your address already and regarding the Photo, bro I received my Card almost 2.5 months ago and they are still reviewing my Picture, seems like have never seen an alien like me I hope they at least approve my photo before the end of 2025. Regarding emails nope they don't send you any emails after ECOPR although I think you can check if your PR Card is mailed or not in GCKey, in my case my representative submitted my application through his GCKey so he only had access to it.

I swear - if it wasnt for folks like @Hyper1013 , @Aizique and others - we would all be in deep depression

 

[Aizique]

Can you help me that while waiting for the ECOPR can we leave canada and visit our country??

If you have a visa and your stay is going to be brief then you can visit. But if you are staying long, you may need to contact IRCC so that the cancel your eCOPR and send you a visa to return. With that you can get your COPR at the border. However, if you have waited up to this stage, then I think you should just complete it and get all you need so that can travel with peace of mind. Remember that it will take more time to reroute your application.

Still here bro! Not going anywhere till everyone of you get your eCoPRs. As I've said before : All for one and one for all! Praying that there's a flood of eCoPRs today!

 

[kush003]

as long as you have a WP and Canadian Visa you can leave and come back anytime you want, although IRCC asks people to let them know if you are going to leave Canada so they can put your ECOPR on pause and that's the last thing you want to happen so unless it is an emergency I would suggest you to stay inside Canada until you get your ECOPR and if possible wait until PR Card because if you leave with only ECOPR then you will need to apply for PRTD outside Canada and that too takes 2-3 months to arrive.

Thank you very much for this update. Much appreciated you !!!

What else did you do after eCoPR? I finally got it yesterday. I did some research and today I’ll update my SIN number, my driver’s license, banking information. What else do I have to update mighty Hyper?

Mighty? Not sure about that! Haha . Congratulations on the eCoPR. Update your SIN from Service Canada and then with your bank and workplace. Update your health card. I didn't renew my driver's license because it's still valid till December 2025. Different provinces have different regulations set for the driver's license, so google that and apply accordingly!
