Hi everyone, Do you know how long would it takes to get pr card in mail after eCopr? Is that 2 week time correct or can take longer?
 
I received today afternoon
Happy for you. What time did u receive your approval on Jan 3rd? Do you have dependents? As I remember your VO is Calgary, isn't it? I am still waiting for my credential. I hope I can get it till this weekend.
 
But its 4 months for the whole process right? Not the time to get our pr cards after ecopr?

It depends what you mean by "whole process". But my guess is they will not look into it before you have your eCOPR. Having eCOPR technically means that you virtually landed and you are now a PR. So they would not start to make your card before you become a PR.
 
Hi
Uploaded pictures n address on 3rd Jan , still waiting for ECOPR. Can I leave Canada while I am waiting for ECoPR?
Thanks
I advise you to not leave Canada until you get your PR card.
Once you receive eCOPR, you become a permanent resident and your temporary work/study permit stops. This means that now, to enter Canada you need either a PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) that can take quite some time to get.
So you can technically travel back BEFORE receiving eCOPR, but you never know when it will arrive so don't try is my advice.

You can leave but in order to come back without a card, you will need to ask for a PRTD from the visa office abroad.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...rants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace/urgent.html

It may be possible to ask for an urgent processing in your case, but be ready to wait 6 weeks or more abroad for the PRTD. They will not deliver a PRTD urgently for you if you don't really need it urgently.

I am sorry to hear your situation hopefully your grandfather recovers soon, from what i have heard and read, even if you do have an Ecopr and not the PR card or the PRTD you can still come back by road. So if i were in your position, on my way back I would fly to states and then drive across the border. As long as you have Ecopr and a Canadian ID the border officer will let you come back to Canada by road ONLY.

Hello friends,

I got an email for PR confirmation on 11th January, 2023. Currently, I am in India, when I get this email. I am going back to Canada on 22nd January, 2023. They are asking me whether, currently I am in Canada or not.

So, Should I reply to this email or wait until I reach Canada on 22nd January, 2023. After portal 1 email, how much time, do we need to respond to IRCC?

Should I reschedule my flight to reach early in Canada?
