Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[Miss bee]

Hi All,

I have an important question. I filed my non express entry PNP application and I received the portal email where they ask for certain information and ask to reply to the email. I don't know if that is portal 1 or portal 2 email. My concern is with the questions: "Are you currently inside Canada? (Yes/No):"


My work permit expired in march this year and I had to move back to India due to a family emergency and planning to go back when I get the PR. The issue is I do have a TRV visa but I dont have any work permit or study permit or any other status document. I read somewhere that IRCC issues some document for spouse and other dependants of applicants. But I am the main applicant and I had valid status when I applied. I had to move out because of family emergency and also my AOR came late than my work permit expiry.

I would really appreciate if someone can clarify if me not being in Canada will be a major issue or if I can just visit with my TRV to get the PR card or if IRCC will issue me that temporary travel document. Could it be possible that this becomes a blocker in my PR?

Also if you know by when I should expect next email or if this email from IRCC confirms my PR, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance!

If you moved back to india and don’t have visa to travel back to Canada, you were supposed to change your address with CIC . You should answer No to that question and ask them to update your address and in email explain your situation . Portal 1 and 2 emails are only for people who are already in Canada and they can land as a Permanent Resident in Canada. For your case you can land in Canada as PR. Most probably CIC will ask your passport and you have to send it to VFS global for stamping. Then you have to travel to Canada with COPR and that one time visa to land in Canada as PR and activate your COPR. But for now your first step os to inform that your status expired in Canada and you moved back to india and won’t be able to return to Canada.

Thanks for your reply Mis Bee.

I did inform IRCC about the situation and updated my address. In the email I responded "no" to that questions and mentioned that I don't have status but only TRV. What is the usual timeline that they revert after the first portal email where we repsond to these questions? It's been 2 weeks since I responeded to that email. How long should I wait to follow up or submit a web form or is there anything else I should do in parallel?

Also, does it look like a big enough issue to potentially result in rejection of PR?

Are you currently employed with same employer who supported your PNP ? Did you quit your job or not yet ?

I had to quit my job because I was outside Canada, I was working with CIBC. However, my application was under Masters graduate stream and I did not have a job back then so my job is not a factor I believe in my application.
