Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[Miss bee]

Thanks @Miss bee for your reply. I have a question that I would appreciate your opinion about:

I have applied for PR through NON EE PNP (OINP-PhD Graduate Stream) in July 2024. I received my AOR in January 2025. My PGWP expire in March 2026. My question is: If my employer is willing to obtain an LMIA for me, is it worth it to go through that and apply to CEC stream or is it better to wait out the outcome of my current application with IRCC and apply for a bridging open work permit?

Your employer doesn't need to obtain LMIA . You can apply for BOWP if you don't have employer restrictions on your nomination certificate. If your nomination is tied your employer have to submit job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees and you have to apply for closed work permit with help of WPsL.
If you have enough points, you can certainly apply for CEC PR application. You need to submit all required documents and pay another application fees .

Hi @Miss bee hope you are doing well.

I applied as PNP and received my AOR and ADR including biometrics and Medical which everything is submitted and passed. My tracker shows background check in process.

However, I received an email from CIC-Windsor ON ending with cic.gc.ca which requested to update my background/declaration form.
I'm a bit concerned on if the email is legit from IRCC and not a scam? it doesn't say do not reply and it doesn't give any direction on how to submit the form.

Can CIC request documents directly per email?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone,

1. For the ADRs, do we get an email from the IRCC that the issue has been fixed? Or do I just have to hope that the sent documents are enough to fix the problem? I only got an email saying the documents are added to the application.
2. After AOR, When can we expect to get information on how to get our Medicals?

Thanks.

Can @Miss bee or others please answer my question? Thanks

have you tried creating a tracker account? you can see some details on which part of the process they are currently working on

Actually it was a work permit extension so it said i can't track it

You don't have to reply to that email. Simply send documents through webform and you can ignore that email.

Here's s how IRCC typically handles ADRs (Additional Document Requests) and medical requests:


1. Response to ADR Submission:
If IRCC has successfully received your documents, they will usually send an automated confirmation email stating that the documents have been added to your application.
IRCC does not always send a follow-up confirmation that the issue is resolved. Instead, they will review your documents and continue processing your application.
If the documents are insufficient, IRCC may request further clarification or additional documents.

2. Medical Request After AOR:
The timing of the medical request (IME) varies depending on the stream and processing queue.
Some applicants receive medical requests shortly after AOR, while others may wait weeks or months.
In some cases, if you recently completed an upfront medical exam, IRCC might use that result, and you may not receive a separate medical request.

Misbee, whats your suggestion for point 2 in doing the upfront medicals. PNP non express entry application, received AOR on January 9th 2025 and waiting for the medical request.

Hello guys, I have a little issue. I submitted my application last month and I uploaded a digital photo but forgot to upload a the receipt and a separate document that has the photo information. Is this going to be an issue and will they return my application? I haven’t gotten AOR yet. Thank you @Miss bee

 

[MapleJourney2024]

Hi there! Is it mandatory to have a new medical done or IRCC would consider my older medical as they have a policy going on? I haven’t attached my older medical with my application though? Also, any July 2024 applicants here? Did u get any update?

@Miss bee Hi miss bee. Im having a tricky situation right now and need your guidance. I am still waiting for FD (have PAL).
My PGWP is expiring on Dec 2025 due to passport expiry. When would be the best time time to apply for extension? Im little worried as it has to be applied through paper application. Will I get applied letter right away from IRCC so I can continue working?
Can I instead apply for BOWP? As it will be online and I will at-least get (applied letter) from IRCC right away so I can continue working even after Dec 2025. Please guide.

You can apply 3 months before your current expiry however there is no rule . If you don't have employer restrictions on your nomination certificate you can apply BOWP .

Thanks for the response Miss bee. If I apply for BOWP without applying for (PGWP extension due to passport expiry), I wont be out of status after December 2025?

If

If your job position and job duties has been changed, you should inform PNP office and IRCC . It's mandatory part of PNP post nomination process.

@Miss bee I have a similar question. I haven't moved to a different position but got a promotion in the same company with different set of responsibilities. I've AOR at the moment with biometric completed. Mine is Non EE OINP application under Master Graduate stream.
Also, when I applied, my spouse had a job and but not working currently. Do I send a webform for that as well?

Thank you!

You have to renew your passport to get 2 years work permit otherwise they will issue you work permit for few months and you have to extend it again.
