So, one month ago I applied to extend my visitor status. I logged onto my eCAS today to see DM for my PR application on the PA side.
Will my visitor status extension request just be tossed out now? I applied by paper, so they haven't even looked at it yet and won't for another couple months likely. Is there anything I have to do or can I just leave it be?
Congratulations first of all, you don't need your visa extended anymore as you became PR, you can withdraw/cancel that application for refund if applicable otherwise your application won't be approved because you are no longer a visitor.
Thank you! Yeah, that's what I suspected. According to the CIC website, they're working on applications from February and mine was submitted in May, so I suspect I have plenty of time before they start processing my application even if I book a landing appointment and wait until I have landed to withdraw it.
That's another question. Will I need proof of my implied status to schedule a landing appointment? I'd rather not land at the border, because my husband and I don't have a car. We could have a family member drive us across the border and they could get groceries etc and we could return, but I'd rather not go through that hassle. I have plenty of time, so I don't mind waiting a few weeks for a landing appointment. All I need to do for that is call the call center and ask to schedule a landing appointment?
I can schedule a landing appointment from within Canada even though I applied outland, correct?

I'll call them and see how long they say it'll take to get an appointment. If it ends up being more than a few weeks, I'll just bite the bullet and have a family member drive us across the border and back. Part of it is honestly that I was given that voluntary withdrawal at the crossing at the Peach Arch... and it wasn't a pleasant experience. It's not going to feel good walking back into that place.

yes definitely. whatever happened in the past is not relevant anymore. that COPR is your ticket to a happy life in Canada, and you're experience will certainly be different at the border.
