Hello, I am an inland cec applicant. I submitted photo and address on Oct 27 and have been waiting for ecopr ever since. I noticed that many are mentioning the ecopr expiry date. From the ircc letter I know my office is Montreal but could anyone please tell me how I can find the ecopr expiry date? Seems like they are taking 3 months+ to issue this document now and issueing them based on the expiry date? I just wanted to get an approximate idea.
Another thing, I travel outside Canada for work and what I understood is that after I submit the photo and address in portal 2 and declare my presence in Canada, I cannot go outside Canada until the ecopr is issued. Is that correct? I believe I can travel once I get the ecopr as I have a valid visitor visa in my home country passport (so I am guessing I wouldn't need to apply for PRTD).
I originally thought it would take 1 month for ircc to issue the ecopr but seems like it is taking more than 3 months based on the recent posts in this forum. Could anyone suggest if there are any options for me to travel outside Canada before the ecopr is issued after my declaration of presence on portal 2? It does not make any sense to keep people from travelling as some may have emergency and others may need to travel for work like me
Thank you for your support.
