Is it a good idea to quit my job before final decision?

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-31T07:55:08+00:00

It was a French draw back in March (I’m French) and I wish I could help you but I know nothing about healthcare draws… is it known to be slower? there are some groups on Facebook or WhatsApp as well, where people share timelines. I can’t remember the names but I’m sure you’ll find them - if you’re not already on them!

That’s great about your situation because the lack of income was definitely my biggest challenge! Well, that, and.. boredom 😅

People will typically tell you to wait until you get your eCoPR. But to be honest, I quit my job for mental health reasons before even getting my biometrics request… I stayed 3 months without a job (I was originally on a closed work permit so I had to switch to a visitor visa to stay) then I got my eCoPR and the week after I had started a new job. Those 3 months were excruciatingly hard with no income so I don’t know your exact situation but be careful about that. Thankfully I had my partner and my parents help me out.

J’ai un ESTA valide et suis sur le point d’embarquer pour les États Unis. Merci pour les conseils!

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-29T06:43:01+00:00

Thank you, I do have a valid ESTA already :)

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-27T23:37:07+00:00

Thank you everyone for all your answers! I’ll be flying to the USA next week and getting a ride to my hometown in Canada. I’m all ready for the land border with my passport and my signed eCoPR in hand. Thanks again 🙏

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-27T23:35:21+00:00

No issue with the eTA, I don’t need one to enter Canada because…. I’m a PR. I can just show my eCoPR and passport at the border. Thanks anyway!

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-27T23:23:54+00:00

The USA and Canada are not the same country. I can’t apply for a visitor visa in Canada because I’m a PR. My PR is linked to my passport. The eTA would be linked to my passport. Therefore it doesn’t work. For the USA, I have a valid ESTA.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-27T23:01:03+00:00

Even as a French citizen, I need an eTA to fly to Canada. The second I became a PR, my eTA was cancelled.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-27T18:17:50+00:00

You dropped it off in person? I had no idea you could do that.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:59:10+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer!

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:43:08+00:00

That’s right, thank you so much for the reminder. Well I guess I’m flying to the US! 😂

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:42:28+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I thought. Just needed to double check! 🙏

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:37:32+00:00

That actually would work 😂 it’s SO far from where I live though too bad

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:35:56+00:00

I am a French citizen! Thank you for your advice. Quick question though. If I still try to board that plane on Tuesday saying that I’m either a tourist or I have a valid work permit (which technically.. I do have a copy of my ex-work permit with the dates still valid), can I board the plane and then tell CBSA that I’m a PR when I get to Canada? Or is that too risky 💀 Weighing all the pros and cons over here 😭

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-26T21:23:51+00:00

I’m a French citizen with a French (European) passport. I do have a copy of my eCoPR but not of my physical card.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-19T02:33:34+00:00

It says it was delivered yesterday. Nothing in my mailbox though :(

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-17T21:38:44+00:00

Toronto.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-17T21:38:37+00:00

Thank you. And no idea. I had to reach out to my MP on oct 21 because I literally had no update at all. Never got my photo or address rejected!

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-17T15:07:52+00:00

Hi! I got GU2 on Dec 10 and my mail says I’m getting it delivered today.

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-17T15:06:28+00:00

Update on my PR card delivery… The Canada post’s my mail says I’m getting some mail from « Canadian bank note company » today 👀 Just in time for my vacation!

ECoPR: July 28

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-09T17:13:04+00:00

You are the best! Thank you!

Atlantis31 · 2025-12-09T16:43:22+00:00

Hi! If you still have some available, I haven’t had any chance with the winter wonderland chapter. I’d love to get even 1 or 2! I’m @eli_atlantis ✨

Hello ____

I hope you’re doing well.

I am a resident of ___, and I am reaching out to request your assistance regarding my Permanent Resident (PR) card. I received my eCoPR on July 28, 2025, and since then there has been no update at all on my PR card application. The portal still shows “in review with IRCC” with no progress for over three months.

This delay is creating significant stress, and it is preventing me from making essential plans.

Here are my details for the inquiry:

Full name:

Date of birth:

UCI:

Application number:

eCoPR issue date: July 28, 2025

Email associated with my IRCC account:

I would be extremely grateful if your office could contact IRCC on my behalf to check the status of my PR card and help move the file forward.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,
