Hi Guys

Here is my updated

Resend Photo delivered to CIC on 22nd Dec 2017
PR card status approved today 5th Feb 2018
 
Status of our applications changed to "approved" yesterday. So now expecting to get the cards in this week. Below are our timelines:

Landed in Toronto - Oct 20th
Got email to resend photos - Dec 14th.
Photos delivered at Sydney center: Dec 20th.
Congrats..
 
Hello members,
Anyone whose photo arrived in mid Jan 2018 has been approved or has any updates on processing status?
Thanks
mid Jan is a bit aggressive but according the post below yours, I bet they'll enter Jan's case tomorrow. If they are on Dec 22 now. Dec 23-25 were holiday's that Canada post closed. So are Dec 31-Jan. 1. It's a good wish but also possible that they'll reach mid Jan. by Friday

Mine was delivered on Jan 19th. Would you mind letting me know when your case gets approved? I'm flying out of the country next week and will come back in two weeks. I'm trying to come up with a plan of how to get back : (. Travel document isn't an option due to its terribly long processing time.

Mine was delivered on Jan 10. and status says, it's still in progress. If you don;t mind me asking, has your COPR expired? Mine is valid till Apr 10 and I believe you can re-enter Canada with the COPR along with your passport without travel document.

You can re-enter via land border with COPR if you are self - driving. By Air or via commercial transport (Bus/Train) on land you will be better off with a PRTD or PR card. Alternatively, if you happen to have a valid visitor's visa to Canada which didn't expire or otherwise canceled you can use that to show the airline and board flight, and once you get to immigration on your arrival present your COPR.

Yes, correct. So if the airline allows you to board the flight then you can show COPR when you arrive in Canada. The only issue is airline not allowing you to board. If you traveling to US, airline usually allow you to board (tried it many times). Other countries might be a problem.

My COPR is still valid. My understanding is COPR only works for crossing the border with a private vehicle. Aircraft, ships and buses are commercial vehicles and you need to present either PR card or PRTD to travel with commercial vehicles. My temporary visa (not the PR one) is still valid, but I don't want to risk it as all the agencies I have talked to, both the border agency and IRCC representitives, didn't mention I can still travel with the temporary visa.

I will go back to Ontario.....my worst case solution is flying to Chicago, taking bus/train to Detroit/Buffalo, walk across the bridge and somehow find my way home....

That's what I was gonna suggest. Fly into Detroit and cross the border by driving into Canada. Btw, I live in Chicago (at least for now) till my PR card comes at my friend's place. I have a COPR still valid and also have my visitor visa valid for next couple of years. Hopefully, I wont have to use any of them. Good luck.
