We live in Toronto and have submit the sponsorship application for our dependent child. We came to know through CIC that our sponsorship application was accepted and COPR will be send for my child. After few months when we dint hear anything, we inquire and were told that COPR for my child was already sent. However, we did not receive the COPR, we are contently calling CIC and emailing the processing center. it has been more than a year and still we are without the COPR document and without any guidelines from CIC on how to proceed further. every time we call, they will say we will make a not and will escalate it to the case processing center. Any one know what to do or have been in similar condition? please let us know.

Also, does anyone know if there is a date constraint on COPR if yes, then for how long it usually valid and how should we get a valid replacement COPR for my child ?

Regards

Hi

Hello all

Although I sent my passport, they made an error in my name (switched first and last name) on the visa and CoPR.

Because of time constraint I already made my travel arrangements to land in mid April and do not have time to get it corrected. I have couple of questions which are as follows:

1. How critical is it to get the error corrected? CoPR and visa are just temporary documents.

2. When I land in mid April, can I send the correction forms along with the forms that the IO prepares so that they can get my correct name on the PR card?

Any reply is appreciated. Thank you

1. You have to get it corrected before you leave, it can't be corrected at the Port of Entry, the reversal of the name is a major problem.
2. The COPR is not a temporary document, you will need to keep it safe, as you will need it when it comes time to apply for your Old age pension.
3. Your PR card, would be issued in exactly the same name that is on your COPR.

Thank you PMM for the response. Sorry, I was not clear on what I was asking. My passport does not have Surname(Last name) but only given (first) name. I got my visa/CoPR and they have used my given(first) name as Family name and left Given name blank. Its the same thing in my US visa, Given Name is FNU(first name unknown) and Surname is my given name in my passport.

Is this an error that i need to get corrected or that's how it's done in North America? I am planning to enter Canada in mid April. Please advise on what I need to do. Your response is appreciated.

Thank you

Hello all

I was wondering if there are any other forms apart from B4 and B4A forms that we need to fill out when we land in Canada?

And is it better to fill out those forms before landing?

Thank you

My mothers PR is expiring and she wants to travel outside canada and she would only have 1 month before the PR expires and she wants to stay longer because she is going to vist her mother and she has 3 kids and for us to travel its costing us a lot of money for tickets and its not worth the amount of time we are staying there for and the time we are staying outside the country we have ramadan

Is there anyway she can travel outside the country when her pr is about to expiring and come back ?

My Father is Canadian and I am German.

How can I get a Canadian citizenship?

Hey, I am 16 years old and I have got the Permanent Resident Card.

I was wondering if I stayed in Canada for 4 years from now onward, will I become a Canadian Citizenship or do I have to stay the 4 whole years after my 18th birthday keeping in mind that no adults (parents or a guardian) will be staying with me except my 20 years old sister.

So briefly, my question is WIll those 2 years count or not?

Thank you so much for your reply. Just one more thing I would like to be clarified.

Since his wife is a PR and his child is a citizen, I am thr only relative he has left in Canada that could be sponsored. What would hinder him from sponsoring me?

I am living with a canadian spuse outside canada. since the renewal takes long time to be processed, can I send the documents required for renewal from abroad?? when they send the letter I travel to canada.
as if I stay in canada for more than 15 days I will lose my job here.

your reply is highly appreciated
thank you

What if my sister had applied for a Canadian Citizenship and got accepted but I have been out of Canada so I haven't really completed the set of rules to be completed before applying, would I get to apply for the Citizenship due to the fact my older sibling has completed them all?

Hello,
As I am new immigrant to Canada, would like to know how to apply for a first new PR card.

I live in Mississauga and am a permanent resident to Canada for 5 years. My wife married me and sponsored me. We live together and have a daughter. I would like to sponsor my 25 year old brother and would like to know if it is possible.

Hi,

I landed in Toronto on May 2, 2016 for my PR using the COPR and the immigrant visa. I had to leave for work few days later.
I have a valid business visa. I am travelling to Canada soon for work reasons. Can I enter on business visa and pick-up my PR card whilst there, or do I have to get a PRTD ?

When the immigration officer cancelled by immigrant visa upon landing (in May), I asked him if the business visa will become void as I am becoming a PR. His response was that it doesn't become void.

I would appreciate some clarity on this issue. Thank you
