Hey everyone!

We just received our PR approval letter!
They asked us to send an email to confirm that we were in Canada and from what I understood they will send us a link to a portal invite to "land us virtually" in the system. Do you guys know what happens next?

Just received my eCOPR! Hopefully it won't be too much longer for everyone else here!

Open work permit application got a ghost update to "Application/profile updated" instead of "Submitted". Fingers crossed it means we'll hear something good soon

Hi folks!

I finally got the eCoPR today!
The interesting thing is SA was issued at Mississauga VO, PR portal invitation from Ottawa, and eCoPR from Montreal.



Good luck to everyone!!

It took 114 days from the date I submitted it, and 73 days after AOR.
I am waiting for a PR card, still in review for the address and photo.
No, I am living in Vancouver.

I’m not sure if you can filter all the way by VO in this tracker that I’m using but it gives analytics for all of the express entry cases being tracked by users and there’s hundreds of them. Could that maybe help you? Can’t believe it’s been taking so long!! https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/tra...express-entry-permanent-residency-application

Hello everyone!

I just received my eCOPR today! I'm now waiting for my PR card, hopefully in a month or two!
Hope it goes smoothly for everyone else!

Hi guys,
I received ecopr today and was wondering if we need to use PR card tab in the pr portal to apply for the PR card?
It asks so much stuff about home address and work history for the last 5 years again. (I mean why?! so unnecessary)
It even says history since my pr approval, so I don't have any to type in and they won't let me go to the next section without any data.
I thought the card will be mailed to my home address automatically once they approve my pr.
Did you all apply for pr card using the tab in the portal?
I stopped filling in this once they asked me Have you travelled or lived outside Canada in the past five (5) years?
I have no intention of spending more time on this again!!!

sounds like you are filling in the form for PR card renewal...

I was in doubt at first too but it had an option named your 1st PR card!
So I take that you didn't use this tab for your card?
And it's funny that the pr card tab turned to inaccessible now @_@

I became PR way before this process. Will let others comment.

@ggkk
In that case we need not start a PR Card application on the PR Portal. Will IRCC directly send the PR card after issuing eCOPR?
