Wait times for PR card

[dbentley1313]

I had a hard time finding this information on the CIC website so I thought I would share it here.

As of July 31, 2015: Once you receive your COPR in the mail and then "land" in Canada you will wait 8-10 weeks to receive your actual Permanent Resident card. If you are from a Visa exempt country then you can still use your COPR for travel. I think it's more limited if you are from a Visa required country.

I know how difficult waiting is for this process, so I thought I would create this post. Please feel free to update the information as time goes on if the wait times change.

cheers!
