We have provided the Job reference letter with Job duties performed but its not on the Company letter head. Although, it has signature of the supervisors and business cards of them. Also we have provided all sorts of official documents provided by the employer earlier like Offer letter, Experience letter, yearly performance letter, salary slips, tax forms etc. Should it be good?

While its always hard to predict IRCC, it will depend on the evaluating officer. Its likely you'll be okay.

Thanks. Yeah that's true. Very hard to predict. On NA2 since 3rd Jan. And there has not been any ADR's as well.

What's your AOR date? I have a similar situation as yours. I could not obtain new experience letter for one of my work experience as the company had been acquired by another company. However, I provided LoE along with other documents that bear the signatures of the personnel officer of the defunct company with details of the job description. My AOR is December 26, medical passed with BGD check in progress. I suspect that should be IP1 as I'm not sure I have gone through NA2. I haven't got any ADR, so I have been wondering if everything is okay with the documents I provided. Please, experts, what do you guys think? Would it be a good idea to order GCMS notes to know if the eligibility has been passed?

Aor is 12 Dec. We just have to wait and see. Its really up to the officer who is evaluating our case.

Hello,

Relevant Info:
AOR: Dec 22
PPR: Feb 20
Category: CEC

Fortunately, I've just received the PPR e-mail asking to submit:
1) My passport in case my country of citizenship (which is Brazil) is visa required to get a PR visa stamped on it
OR
2) Photocopies of my passport otherwise (in this case I could use eTA for travelling without a PR visa)

It turns out that Brazil is considered a visa-required country BUT with a remark (giving a possibility for eTA):
"Visa-required (countries):

• Brazil (note: some Brazilian citizens may be eligible for an eTA if they meet certain requirements)

"

Then I looked up what are the requirements to be eligible for eTA among the exceptional countries (Brazil, Romania and Bulgaria) at
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/04/canada_s_new_entryrulesforbrazilianbulgarianandromaniancitizens.html

In the above link they mention the following criteria for being eligible:

"Travellers who:

• have held a Canadian visitor visa in the past 10 years, or
• currently hold a valid United States nonimmigrant visa,

and who will:

• fly to or transit through a Canadian airport using a valid Brazilian, Bulgarian or Romanian passport, and
• come for a short visit, business or tourist activity (normally for stays of up to six months)"

"

Although I do hold a US nonimmigrant visa, I was not sure about the last two requirements. I work in Canada currently.

Please, can anyone help me to figure it out if I consider myself as a Visa-required or not?

Hey man,

Don't worry i had the same situation when i was renewing my Work Permit. If you have a Valid Tourist Visa (US) you're good. BUT only if you plan to travel to Canada by AIR. BUT since you're here in Canada you should send your passport. WHY? Cause you need to do a FLAGPOLE. What's that? Is when you drive to the POINT OF ENTRY (BORDER) to change your status here in Canada, so that you can Actually become a Permanent Resident.

Hope that helped!

Congratulations..... Hope to get mine soon!

Folks,
I have a question about submitting passports once we get the PPR. My son is a US citizen, where as my wife and I are Indian citizens. For me and my wife we plan to submit passports. For my son, as per the guidelines, it asks for submission of photo page of passport only. Have any of you done the same for your child, or did you submit the Passport as well?

By the way, I got PPR email yesterday for AOR of Jan 4th.

Hi Leo,
Thanks a lot for the answer!
Just one more thing, If I do not send my passport and proceed as a Visa exempt candidate, then I cannot do a Flagpole afterwards using the CoPR for example?
In the Flagpole procedure, what do they do? they put an extra stamp on your passport?

Glad for your PR as well!

And No... as far as i Know being from Brazil you can not Flag Pole Without a proper VISA (NOT ETA)

The CoPR is when you get your status changed at the Border. So basically you sent your passport to Get a Immigrant Visa on it. Go to the Border with your docs and Passport with the Immigrant Visa. The Border Officer will verify your docs your Visa and them Boom.... you're good.

Hope that make sense

Guys,
Yesterday I moved to IP2.
I also got a request from cic to submit my CV along with supplementary student information form. Does this mean they have decided to send me to security screening?

Once they review it and give a thumbs up... Yes

Hi there

I posted previously about emailing for an update on my application. So far I've refrained from emailing for an update but I was hoping to fly back to England soon for a weeks to visit family for an event. I don't want to go until I get the thumbs up. Is it worth emailing for an update? If so, how can I word it to avoid a generic response? If not, I guess I can just wait it out a little longer
