Yes, I requested note before final result
Interesting! I have heard that somebody who is PR or citizen can request for GCMS note, right? Did your lawyer do that?
how much did it take from requesting to receiving the note?
I would appreciate if you could share the inquiry with us.

I received the CoPR ten days ago, but the portal still shows the final decision hasn't been made! Intresting!

Hey guys!

I have a question about extending the work permit under the startup business class?
My initial visa expires soon and I'm still waiting for PR. In form IMM5710e:

Q1: "What type of work permit are you applying for?"
If I choose "Start-up business class" then
Q6: "LMIA exemption number" will be disabled!

Does it mean, to extend the SUV work permit, paying $230 to get an LMIA exemption is not mandatory? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks
I know it's old! But I would appreciate the help!
When you renew your WP, did you include a new letter of support? Salary slips? Did it go through?

Can anyone clarify that Ghost Update will happen once your application passes one step and entering to a new step OR it will happen once someone open your file?

I don’t believe GU will happen once someone open a profile.

Congrats! the online portal probably hasn't been updated yet. Just curious to know when did submit your application and whether it was paper based or online? Congrats once again!

Based on my experience you get GU when something has changed in your application. I had a GU on my PR application 5 days before pr approval!
