E-COPR Issue Delays - can I travel?

[@7LamarOdom]

outland fs application received jan 29th biometrics done in late march, medical successfully done beginning of august, background verification in progress ever since... nearly 4 months and no update

[@MeetPatel-qj8sh]

Are you sure they will issue Ecopr while I am abroad? When we call and ask them, they say that we don't issue Ecopr when you are abroad.

What does the law say about landing outside of Canada? Isn't that a problem when verifying presence for citizenship? How can you be "landed" in a country when you're not even in the country?

[@mandeepmunder9156]

Thanks for sharing this useful information. Everything is fine but the problem comes while departing from india. It is very hard to explain them the whole situation and i don't blame them because this whole process is poorely managed by IRCC.

[@DhruvSharma-jm8cb]

Hi Mandeep, thanks for your comment. what problem did you specifically face? What document were you travelling back with?

[@Massive21]

So what if you receive e-copr how long to wait after in being inreview?

[@zaynlens637]

Hey My Application for Permanent Residency in Canada was approved and I received my passport back from VO with Visa stamped Along COPR but unfortunately due to misunderstanding and lack of knowledge i laminated the COPR. I didn’t realize i have to do signatures on it at port of entry hence laminating copr makes it invalid. I tried to contact my VO many times to reissue Copr by sending webforms and directly sending emails to them but they are not responding. I came to know that at Port of entry CBSA officers can also print copr if needed. What should i do now? Should i use my one time immigrant visa and fly to Canada and ask to the officer at Port of entry to print new copr or should i wait for the response from my VO Appropriate advice will be highly appreciated

Hi, my friend has applied for Express entry PR in Toronto and is currently on vacation ouside Canada. He holds a Canadian work permit and visa. What happens if the application gets approved while he's out of the country? Will he be able to come back to Canada with his work visa or would it get automatically cancelled? Thank you

[@poulpemalade5425]

It’s been a month and a half that I am waiting for COPR and still no news. I really don’t understand what takes so long, it is literally stamping a paper.

Hello, how long did you wait for the confirmation? Hope you respond. Im so frustrated

[@mariemmhamdi-o7n]

Hi, received my P2 on September 24 but am still waiting for my ECOPR. Currently, I am traveling outside Canada and staying in the U.S. I’m wondering if I should notify IRCC of my current U.S. address or if it’s better to keep my Canadian address on file. Thank you so much for your guidance and assistance.

Does the US route still works if you are travelling to Canada via US connecting flight?

[@user-lv2im1fg5l]

Hi, as inside canada applicant, my passport number mentioned in ecopr is not correct. Ircc have put the same passport number ( travel doc number) for me and my spouse. Would it be a problem while crossing the land border from USA? Thank you!

Onec we travel after our P2 and come back without our eco pr being generated do we have to reply to P1 email and update the date for last entry in Canada?

[@sarumadhavan7189]

Hi, I recieved my PPR on October 25. I'm in Canada, so the information letter stated me to fill in the web form with the updated address and contact details within 5 days for virtual landing. I filled in the web form, till now I didn't receive any response from IRCC regarding the virtual landing. Do you know how much time will it take for further proceedings?

Hello I am a Canada work permit holder. At the end of July 2023, I applied for PR. I received the PR portal on February 5, 2024, but as of now, I haven't received the COPR. However, I have to leave Canada for two weeks at the end of April. If: I receive the COPR before leaving Canada for Hong Kong but haven't received the actual PR card, and don't have enough time to apply for a PRTD. I receive the COPR/PR confirmation while in Hong Kong. In both of these scenarios, how should I re-enter Canada? Thank you

stay outside canada until you receive ecopr and then apply for PRTD and come to canada without issues or get your passport stamped( get TRV ) before leaving canada

[@agnethalinn]

The government states: "We do not issue temporary resident visas (TRV) to permanent residents (PR). If you are outside Canada without a valid PR card, you must apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD) instead. If you meet the requirements for a PRTD, you can return to Canada as a PR."

Hi, It is really informative video. I got my eCOPR and SIN number recently. I should not have an issue traveling outside Canada as the PR card requires around 2 months.

Hi Dhruv ! Please reply to comment. My situation is different. Two weeks after submitting the photo and in canada declaration I got the refual of work permit extension reason(expired LMIA). I was asked to restore my status within 3 months.It has been 2 months and still waiting for the ECOPR . I will have to leave the country in a month since I will not be able to restore my status. Will this affect the PR which is still in progress. And why is my ECOPR getting so late? If I leave the country will I still get the ECOPR?

[@salahgassim]

Dear. You forgot to talk about a VERY IMPORTANT issue. When the eCopr issued while someone is abroad. It will state the PR granted date same as eCopr issuance. Later down the road for PR renewal or citizenship application, you need to mention : date of becoming a PR and dates of being out of Canada…. This will create a conflict and the system will not allow you to proceed. Entering any wrong information is considered misrepresentation.

[@ajaybirsinghsandhu6001]

I see no reason why it will create a conflict ? One can get his ecopr while outside canada.IRCC just needs you to complete a certain time period in Canada as a PR before you apply for citizenship. If you become a PR outside canada then that time won't be counted towards citizenship hence you gotta spend little bit more time in canada as a PR to compensate that.

[@salahgassim]

@@ajaybirsinghsandhu6001 the issue is this is now done online. There is an official website for duration calculations where you need to enter all details and the use its output for citizenship application. You have to enter the date u became PR And you have to enter the times u spent outside Canada. Here it will give u an error and cant continue. Unless u change your PR status start to the date you first enter after getting the eCopr. If thats not to be considered a misrepresentation, then it should be fine.
