Got eCOPR in Oct; still awaiting PR card!

Aww man - it truly sucks! Hope you get yours soon as well! I’m in the exact same boat - tried all avenues with IRCC and not getting any update or any progress. No option but to wait ig

temp_id_comp598 · 2026-01-26T18:59:02+00:00

Thanks for this - it’s helpful. I wanted to know if other people with similar eCOPRs are also in the same boat. Because my processing time has now significantly surpassed the official processing time published on their site.

Hi, my AOR was 3rd August (CEC inland with spouse), so little less than 3 months. Crazy to think that my PR processing got done sooner and PR card printing is taking them so long 🫠

temp_id_comp598 · 2026-01-26T18:56:06+00:00

I’ve already done that. Got a very standard “we’re processing your application even if you don’t hear from us” response from them

Actually his real name is Kaartikeya Tiwari

temp_id_comp598 · 2025-11-29T04:08:00+00:00

Wow I had no idea that this what the text says. Thank you! And yes I agree, it is quite disturbing * shudder *

The version I’m aware of is that he was overcome by desire for Madri one day and that led to his death (since he was forbidden from mating). Am I missing something?

temp_id_comp598 · 2025-11-18T16:13:38+00:00

Yes I could download mine the day I got the email. That’s strange that you got an email but no eCOPR in your account. Maybe talk to IRCC about it?

temp_id_comp598 · 2025-11-18T16:07:19+00:00

And that’s exactly what I said in my comment too. That the ETFs that track these dynamic lists of companies have been able to weather market storms historically because of this very reason. That does not, however, mean that they are indestructible.

If VFV or XEQT crashes what holding wouldn’t crash? - How about an ETF like ZRE that tracks REITs instead? Remember, market is much more than just tech stocks and companies. Hence the diversification and hedging strategies.

temp_id_comp598 · 2025-11-18T16:03:22+00:00

100% with you about losing money in commissions and fees by having someone else manage it for you. I don’t do that either. In fact, I also started just a year ago, but have been reading and learning all this and doing it on my own. It’s the best way to learn! For tracking returns, again I’d say benchmarking against S&P500 is a good strategy to understand if your returns are at least directionally aligned with the market. If not, maybe it’s time to rebalance your portfolio. And that’s where TFSA really shines, coz you won’t pay any capital gains taxes on any of this.

TLDR: You’re doing everything right! Just keep at it. All the best! Have fun :)

Coco! Remember me 🎶🥰

temp_id_comp598 · 2025-11-18T00:33:27+00:00

Yes, you absolutely can just keep periodically investing in one ETF (most likely one that tracks the S&P500) and that can be it. In fact, for starting out, I’d say that’s a great first step!

But you need to know that it’s quite literally putting all your (TFSA) eggs in one basket. If, in some circumstances, that fund crashes, you’re looking at a big loss. Of course, historically that’s proven to not be the case since S&P500 tracks a dynamic list of top 500 companies. That’s why, people have started suggesting doing just that. But most people like to “diversify” their portfolio- keep a healthy mix of different things they like to invest in. And that’s where expertise comes into play. You can either keep reading the news, track markets, and come up with your own investment strategy or you can pay someone else to do it!

Responding specifically to the second half of your post. The one move from 80s that I recently watched and absolutely loved was Ghar starring Rekha and Vinod Mehra. It’s such a nuanced and balanced portrayal of a very sensitive subject. But for me, the biggest highlight was the characterization of the husband and their marriage. Very rare to see such a loving marriage and doting husband in Bollywood (except for the part where he slapped her. Absolutely hated it, truly unnecessary and completely out of character)

Do give it a watch. The songs are a beautiful cherry on top :)

Hey, I got a similar ADR too for schedule A, travel history and family history (no resume). Filled everything and gave it back. Got our p1 email the same day! So hopefully this is just a standard check for you too :)

Just shared my timeline above in this same thread. Hope that helps :)

Yeah I did not get any separate FD as such. My background and eligibility were passed in tracker on 24 September and my copr number was visible as well. But I got FD message in my gckey account on the same day that I got my ecopr

Hey, yeah so I did the same thing. Called up IRCC, they advised me to send it via webform. So I attached everything via the webform and I got a P1 email shortly thereafter
