PR confirmation portal timelines

Hello,

Do I have to link PR Card to GCkey after receiving eCOPR?

If so how do we do it. I tried doing it with my PR application number and UCI but it failed.

You don't have to, but you can
It seems that you have an issue with the City/town of birth field. Try to put there information from your COPR Place of Birth field.

Don't worry about getting a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP). Just apply for it, which is enough to maintain your status as an implied status.
I submitted my BOWP application one week before my PGWP expired, but I received my ECOPR after it had already expired.

That is true, but the maintained status only allows you to continue working under the same conditions as your old expired permit. If you're on a work permit tied to a specific job then you won't be able to start a new one until you actually get your BOWP. Plus, you may not get provincial health care coverage while in maintained status—last I heard of it, it's at the discretion of the individual offices. So yeah, having applied for it gives you some rights and you absolutely should do it, but actually getting it is a lot better.

Could you please advise how did you follow up ?

Thank you so much! Will research the BOWP requirement bec I wanna do it myself. I asked my agency for help but they asked me to pay $2500 which I couldn't afford.

oh wow that's expensive. My agent process it for free. I just paid 510 since there's two of us.

 

[Mayhum]

Did you call and check how many more months we have to wait for ecopr??

Nobody knows.
Have asked numerous times.
No luck.
Even MP said they can’t do anything. Wait patiently!

 

[haliek20]

Applied my Cancellation Today. I will update you later once I get a refund.

Yes please, keep me posted. I hope I will get my COPR before BOWP

I received P1 on November 21st, replied the same day, and then re-sent email 2 twice, I never got an automated reply, I think there's nothing else to do but wait...

Congrats Joe, saw you've received your P2 from the google thread.

Yes! Finally, now lets move to the next step, eCOPR ! which according to all threads and chats is the one with the longest wait!

Hi ,

Thanks,
Called frequently to cross-check whether everything was all right with my application.
Mailed my Local MP to look into my application, but just got the status update.
As my PGWP was about to expire at that moment, I got feedback from the IRCC agents and applied for the BOWP,
