Any eCOPR today?

 

[justusdebem]

Hi,

My wife and I have been waiting for our eCOPR since August 30th. This is unbelievable. My work permit will expiry in one month and I will have to pay just because IRCC is holding my eCOPR.

My timeline:
1st portal email: August 07
2nd portal email: August 30th
VO Montreal.

Hi All,

I applied for PR - CEC on June 28th, 2023, for my wife and me.
Received AOR on the same day
Medicals - completed on September 28th.
Biometrics - completed on October 13th.
On the Application tracker, it says Background Verification in progress. But the eligibility has not started yet. Can anyone please help me understand my current situation? My Current WP is about to end on DEC 5th so I am worried about the timeline.

It may be dangerous to rely on lucky to get the eCOPR. Because even if you get approved (see COPR number in tracker or get Portal 1 email) you will only be considered PR after getting eCOPR which is following an insane timeline these days.

You don’t want to be out of status when you’re so close to get what you came for. Isn’t BOWP an option? I would suggest you at least talk with a regulated immigration rep.

I have been waiting for P2 email since August 18 but the way IRCC is processing it might take 3-4 months. My PGWP will expire in 4 months. In that case, how can extend my work permit? Can bridging open work permit be an option? Need your guidance please....

If you got the AOR and it says you can do BOWP, it is. You still have 4 months ahead, so you can still wait another 2 (but I really hope you can get the eCOPR sooner) but I would not jeopardize when you’re so close to get your PR, even if that amount of time you’re waiting is not your fault. If you apply for extension, BOWP, there’s the refund possibility if they didn’t assessed anything.

Also, I’m not a regulated rep, so you should seek one if you feel you still didn’t look all the options.

I hope the below link helps…

Did anyone else receive P1 for the second time? I got P1 again 40 minutes ago, this time from VLU.

I did. First one was from Etobicoke (22/08) and second time was from Montreal (13/09).

I replied with the information requested (again) and saying that I already had a portal and all I needed is to someone to issue my eCOPR.

In the GCKey PR Card Application, under final decision, what is the date displayed? Usually this is the GU1.

I emailed but didn't get any response. Is that normal? Can you please share what should I write?

Do you mean the document status or the Final Decision message?

For final decision it shows “October 6, 2023 Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details”

And the document status shows a message saying “We mailed your permanent resident card to you. Your card can take up to six weeks to arrive.”

Didn’t get any email, any update that wasn’t really an update. It went straight from “Your application is in progress…” to this. I thought that by GU people meant an update on the main page but when you enter there’s no visible changes, like it happens in the process

PR Card Dependent - mailed on the 19th of October

I didn’t receive any ghost updates on mine, it went straight from “we are reviewing…” to “your application was approved…”. I think I checked the portal on Monday or Tuesday and there’s nothing. Both our photos and address are still under review though…

Yesterday, When I checked my application status it showed Status updated, when checked the change it was for Review of Additional Documents updated to Not Applicable previously it was We are reviewing. After checking my tracker today it says the Eligibility is completed for me but for my wife, it says not started yet. And, The Background check still shows In-progress for both.

It is quite confusing to understand the status they provided.

Are you Montreal? What happened to you? May I know your timeline? I did that weekly for 4 weeks and got no response and then I tried calling yesterday I was told that to just wait. I was told by the agent that following up via email might delay my application more. I don't really know what to do now.
