Nothing so far there another forum people are talking about this new option that provides PR card after the approval within 1 week but the forum is not as active unfortunately: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ircc-testing-new-permanent-resident-confirmation-portal.707116/page-3
I've never seen this option on any forum used by in-land applicants ( refugees ). I've seen it used only by people applying from outside Canada through Express Entry. Hopefully they let us use this fast option. I guess the thing that is causing the delay is scheduling people appointments to receive COPR. With Covid limitations maybe scheduling appointments is taking time. That is the only reason I guess for not giving people COPR straight away after DM.

Usually 1-2 months but for some cases it could take a year or more
But security had started already over a year before medical extension/credibility passed recently. Can it take another year more? I got more than 4 ghost updates since after resume request recently even last week.

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry if I am asking this question again. I asked before and someone was really kind to list me documents and I remember saving it but now I cannot find it.

I have no PR and nothing for my spouse outside Canada yet. But since I am applicant March 29th 2019 and IRCC is taking ages, I don't us to waste time when they ask for my spouse's documents.
Can anyone share the list of documents and forms IRCC currently asks for spouses?

Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you so much!
here is useful info as well.


Hello everyone,


I am March 2019 applicant, already received approval letter waiting for CORP,

Here I would like to share some experience with you guys, who are waiting for an approval letter, which right after that who has overseas dependants, will be asked for some application forms and documents.

I will go step by step, try to bring my experience that you will not have the same difficulties.

Firstly, do not wait for an approval letter, you can now start to fill application forms, there generally the same VO requesting.
So you will have some time to prepare and not lose days to sending.

- Generic Application Form [IMM0008]
- Schedule A [IMM5669]
- Additional Dependents/Declaration Form [IMM0008DEP]
- Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM5562]
- Additional Family Information [IMM5406]

Secondly, prepare some additional documents like - passport biodata page (first page with photos dates, etc ), marriage certificates, birth certificates, police certificates ( check where you will get it and how long will take if necessary) national IDs. If your passport expired renew it. I think you get my point about all things related to documents.

Thirdly, you will double triple maybe before sending check again all your documents, numbers date everything. Because during sending process it is very stressful, your mind somehow blocked each time when you will check your forms and documents you probably find mistypes, even forgotten information which is for you- uppss I forget, I should add it, but VO immigration will think he has something to hide, or they will ask additional document which is will take more time to process your application.

ALL forms should be up to date. When I was speaking with my friend I was asking what you write let say the first BOX, the said I do not have that box, then I realized that he has sent the 2018 application form. but Immigration asks to send only updated forms. Again double check,

Lastly more tricky moment, you will have a lot of pdf forms and you maybe could not send them in one email. https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf use this web site to compress them, secondly, write in your email that you are going separate emails numbering - email 1 of the 5, email 2 of the 5, etc.
Put DOB, UCI, APPLICATIONS NUMBERS in each email, make it easier for them to find your application, and more readable.

I got an approval letter last week. but it took one week for me to send it today. I lost some days not going work, ( normal process) a lot of stress.
It could be maybe 2 days without it if I could be ready somehow or not gathering information about compressing pdf, sending emails separately, finding mistakes on applications, etc.

But fortunately, I sent them. it is not about to send them during one day it is about to send it properly and avoiding maximum mistakes.

GOOD luck to everyone who is waiting ( because everyone waits, some CORP, some APPROVALS, some, etc etc etc. )
