Hello everyone, as you can see from the timeline above, I submitted my application in mid-October without receiving an AOR as of yet. For personal reasons, I have to leave Canada in March 2022 for about 3 months. Since it is very likely that my PR will not be approved prior to my departure, I am concerned that my absence may interfere with the approval of my application.

According to the information I have gathered on this forum, the COPR will be sent again after an EE applicant has returned to Canada if that applicant responds to a COPR email that they live in another country. However, I wonder if such a process could be applied to TR2PR applications. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me answer the following questions.

1. I know that being in Canada is indicated in the TP2PR eligibility list. So, if I were to report to IRCC that my address has changed to another country, would that change automatically result in a denial? Or rather, would I have to disclose my physical presence status in response to the COPR once I receive it?

2. If I am asked to do additional medical tests, can I do them at a panel physician outside of Canada?

3. If I change my address to another country (less than 6 months), will I be asked to provide a criminal record check in the country where I currently reside?

Thank you s much for your attention and time! I'm grateful for any advice that I could receive.
