PR confirmation portal timelines

[Pallavi V]

Thank you for letting me know! I had filled out an appointment form yesterday and someone called me in a couple hours. She gave me an appointment for late next week. I hope they don't decide to close their offices for public before that. Also, are we able to go to Service Ontario for health card anytime or only after we get the SIN number?

Ohh nice, hope it's done.
I first took OHIP and then went for SIN. There's no order and no SIN verification required for OHIP.

Updated timeline:

First email: Dec 8th - 9:20am
Second email with portal credentials: Dec 8th - 6pm
E-copr: Dec 9th
Email to IRCC requesting urgent processing of PR card stating need for travel due to serious illness of family member: Dec 8th & Dec 12th
(attached all necessary proof - travel tickets, medical records etc.)
Response from IRCC stating my PR Card is currently at production and it won't be issued before my travel: Dec 16th
First GU on GCKey and Address accepted: Dec 16th

What does card in production mean? Does this mean my photo has been accepted as well? Any chance I might get it in the next few days even though the email said I won't get it? My flight is on the 24th

Got another ghost update today. Fingers crossed its good news! No other update on portal or gckey account.

Hello everyone. In the PR confirmation, for the photo , what do i do? I uploaded my photo but it uploaded in black and white & was a warning that says: Brightness: Your photo may be too bright or too dark Pixel Range Requirements: Your photo does not have a pixel range between 1680x1200 and 4200x3000 pixels
How do i fix this?

I tried seven times waiting at the studio. each time the same message was coming for me was Brightness: your photo may be too bright or too dark. The pixel I got from the studio is 1575x2205. The seventh time it got accepted just increased brightness a bit and also depend on the light settings in the studio.

Hi Everyone,
If we cannot link the pr card application with the GC key account how we will come to know if the PR Card is dispatched or not? and is there any chance during the production they can reject the photo and ask for a new one?

Thank You

Please check this reply and try in that way. If they started working on your application already, you should be able to link it. Yes, I've been told that photo can get rejected in production. But, mostly they send to production once address and photo are reviewed. So, very less chances to get rejected when in production. All the best.

This worked for me for some reason. I guess the system generate the login for us, so simply do not edit anything that you copied from the PDF IRCC sent you for information. Last time I deleted the boxes in front of each line. that might be the reason I didn't get it.

Thanks a lot, This worked for me
Got Portal Credentials on 16 Dec and ECOPR on 18 Dec.

WOW... Congratulations. Mine arrived in 3 working days. As next week is still a working week, hoping the same with my husband and for you two as well.

Did you link your GC key account with PR card?

Also, how many days it takes to see the updated PR status after linking the file. Please let me know. Thanks

 

[praveenj]

Most of the time the Place of birth is the reason. if its more than 1 word try and copy the exact same as shown passport. Even if there is a comma(,) place comma.
ex. Toronto, Canada
ex. Toronto,Canada (without space)

Thanks, Entering place of birth as per passport worked.

Yes, linked PR card application to GC Key account. Initially, it will be in submitted status. There is no fixed timeline for PR card processing. Few got printed and mailed in 2 weeks, whereas for us, it took close to 2 months. Just keep checking the CIC account, if it exceeds processing time, you can approach to IRCC by call or web form.

Thanks! Also my eCoPr will be expiring in Jan 2022. Does this date matter if I am already in Canada. Please any advise on this would be appreciated.

COPR expiry should not be a problem until you are in Canada.
