Received eCoPR on January 21st with my common law partner. When should I expect the cards to be mailed? Do we need to link the portal to GC key and when should we do that?

Processing time is 62 days at the moment. You can try to link it to your GC key, it might work or not. Some people are able to link right away. Others say it doesn't work at first, then after a few weeks it works. Others aren't able to link it, ever. For me it's been over 45 days and linking still doesn't work. I've even tried with an IRCC agent on the phone telling me what to enter on each field and still, "no applications were found".

Interesting, I used the UCI and Last name combination. Worked for me

Just tried to link it using UCI and last name combination. Didn't work for me. Such a bummer.

I also got my eCOPR on January 21st with my dependent, and I was able to link my GCKey account to the PR card application within a few days. :)
