Honestly, i've heard a lot of horror storries on Airbnb about hosts (not in terms of ID theft, but just false advertising, unreliability, etc), so i'd be careful, because their verification is not that thorough at all.

I got lucky that i rented directly from a property management company, so i didn't feel like it was an issue to give them a copy of my ID. I also had to give a copy of my ID to my first landlord for my first apartment, which i booked on agoda. I was initially hesitant, but they had many reviews from guests so it seemed safe to assume they were legit.

It's pretty standard to provide a copy of your ID to a landlord, but i would always meet them first and try to read whether they seemed trustworthy. I would not give them a copy of my COPR, you don't have an obligation to provide evidence of your immigration status from what i understand. At most if they wanted to see it i could show them, but i would not allow them to make a copy.

I also don't usually give a copy of my passport, i have a national ID from my home county, i prefer to give that because good luck to them trying to do anything with it lol. I know not everyone has one in their country however, so they have to provide their passport.

Wow, thanks very much for the honest & thorough response! It answers many of my questions at once. Much appreciated!

Hey Everyone,

Just to share my situation, I landed March 5th and as of today my application has still the status "submitted". I will let you know if there is any update
Also, I have a question for those of you who applied online for a SIN number with the COPR letter. How long does it take to receive a SIN number? Is it fast?

Thanks for you help!

I'm actually regretting applying online for the SIN, because now Ontario is starting to open up, and i just think it's better to wait for a Service Canada office to open, because you get the SIN on the same day after a few minutes.

I have no idea how long the online application will take, and most people here are still waiting to receive theirs.

It is exactly what I was wondering. Thank you for your reply.

Even if you applied online you can still go to service Canada if you didn't receive anythig once it opens so no harm by applying online - this is based on my conversation with Service Canada SIN department.

Great, i think that the Service Canada offices are going to open before i receive anything from the online application, going by how long others have waited as well.

I know couple months ago guys were getting ppr 3 - 4 weeks after spotting ghost update. You likely won't get any more documents request if you already submitted RCMP especially is it's been a while..

Re-read his post. He is talking “ppr“, not “pr“, I’m afraid.

Peeps!

Any March-landers got any updates on PR card application?

 

[MoizArif]

I landed on April 7th and still waiting on my first PR card. Unfortunately, IRCC is not giving any definitely answer about the timelines. They are just mentioning that it is processing. I linked my PR Card application to my CiC account but it also says processing. Any idea about the estimated wait time given that the processing timelines on the official website are no longer valid due to the COVID-19 crisis.

I applied for SIN online and got a rejection letter in 2 weeks due to the fact that I did not have any "Proof of Address" being a newcomer. I then talked to SIN department on the phone and they told me that all offices are closed and I can only apply via mail or online. The lady said that proof of address is a must and the application will be rejected even if I am a newcomer. She also mentioned that we are receiving around thousands of applications per day and with limited staff, our response time has increased. I re-applied using an address proof last week. I'm hoping for a positive response by next week.
