COPR while already having a travel visa

[Fang_89]

Hey everyone, this is a little premature as we are not quite there yet, but I want to be prepared ahead of time so, here's a question for you all:

My spouse already has a Canadian visa in her passport (two as a matter of fact, a travel one and a study one) that are both still valid.

If we get a passport request (which I assume is when we both get the PR visa to enter Canada and the COPR which is used to obtain the permanent residence card upon arrival), is there a way for us to SKIP the visa section and have her enter China on either of her visas (she’s currently studying so it would make sense to use her study visa) and simply apply for the COPR (I believe this requires a photocopy of passport page + pictures) and hopefully speed up the process? Has anyone done this in the past?

The moment her PR get approved it overrides every existing visa. So she will still need to submit her passport to the issued a single entry PR visa she can land with. You can't skip that part because on the system those other visas has been canceled. Any Status change required new visa
