@legalfalcon. I did not overstay. However, I had filed for asylum but later withdrew with a certificate of departure in hand. Is it possible that they have sent my file for Security Screening ? If so, how long will it take from now? What will be the repercussions ?

If you filed for asylum, then you stayed in Canada without status and that is why your FOSS record states so. Until your asylum status is approved, you are with our status. Your application will have a higher scrutiny than usual. There will be no repercussions, but expect delay in processing.

oh thanks for noticing my post.. btw, my question was - how long does it actually takes for a online work permit to be released (decision)?

Most WP decisions are issued within 60-90 days.

Hi @legalfalcon. I would like to solicit your assistance with an urgent query.

In case someone has filed APR with marital status as 'Legally Separated' and got divorced before PPR... Does he / she need to raise a CSE informing VO about change in marital status?

Kindly assist.

This is a complicated issue. If you are an Indian citizen, then in India there is no such thing as "legally separated." As the law does not recognize that. It is either married or divorced. So you will have to inform IRCC if your divorce came through and you filed your divorce court record when you applied.

Hi @legalfalcon ,

One of my friend has some doubt regarding IELTS expiry. He got OINP and recieved his ITA. But before sending the documents, he observed that his spouse IELTS results were expired. So, what should be done in this case? Since she is secondary applicant, can he explain that in LOE and proceed? Or should she take test again and update them ?

Kindly advice. thanks

The IRCC is clear on this issue.

Your test results must be valid (less than two years old) when you:

• complete your Express Entry profile
• apply for permanent residence

The Express Entry profile is valid for 12 months. Make sure that your language test results are valid for the same time period.

If your test results expire soon, you should re-take the test and update your Express Entry profile with your new test results.

On the date you file your PR application, your score should be valid.

Hello Sir, hope you are well. My question is in relation to my POF. Along with my POF, I attached a gift deed from my father, scan document of the cheque and cheque deposit voucher in one single file. But I didn't write any LOE for that assuming it is not necessary as I had attached everything together in the document checklist post ITA. Now I came across a thread in the forum for POF and I see LOE for the gift deed. Did I make a mistake by not writing a separate LoE? If so can I do anything now? My medical got passed on 14 March and I believe it is IP1 at the moment. Thank you so much for your advice in advance. Have a great day.

You should have explained this in LoE, just so that it is clear. No need to worry, raise a CSE and send it now.

hi legalfalcon

I noticed today, that when I login into my cic account it says updated and when I click on it there is like no change at all and when u go back to read the updated part again , it is back to submitted. What could this mean?

There has been an update. Just give it 24-48 hours and it should reflect the change. In some cases, there may be an update, but noting may change. No need to worry in that case either.

See above.

Hi @legalfalcon
I am an Indian national. I have applied for Canadian PR under FSWO category. My AOR is January 27, 2018. I am in IP2 since February 27, 2018.
I have earlier had a visitor visa of Canada from 9-December-2010 to 6-October-2011 and then from 8-June-2012 to 19-May-2017. I also have a valid US Visitor Visa from 29-Nov-2010 to 23-Nov-2020. I had visited Canada once in November 2013 for 9 days followed by US for 14 days.
My sibling is a Canadian PR since 2014.
I have enrolled myself with CPA Canada and need to attend a 2 day workshop on May 12 and 13.
As there is no certainty regarding the PR date, I wish to apply for the Visitor visa so that I can attend the 2 day workshop.
Kindly advise whether I should file for Visitor visa and will it have any impact on my PR application.

You can surely file your application fro visitor visa. It has no impact on the processing of your PR application. Each application is processed on its own merit.

@legalfalcon I have submitted my application on 29 Sep 2017, Med Passed 26 Dec, IP2 16 January 2018

The thing is all people who has IP2 on 16 January 2016 got the PPR on 22nd January 2018 except me as per the tracker. So raised a query to know the Visa Office and it was New Delhi India. Then I am continuously trying to contact New Delhi Visa Office and CIC through web forms and emails. I never got response from New Delhi Visa Office but from CIC (on 3rd March), I came to know that I should have received an email on 22nd January which I haven't. They also mentioned that if I haven't then they will send it back to me. So in response I asked to resend it but they forwarded the same to New Delhi (again long waiting time or never).

I have raised a request for GCMS On 10 March through getGCMS.

I afraid if it was a PPR (as all got the same), and the time of submission is went, they refuse my application. Though I have been trying to contacting them since 31st January so that gives me some hope that at least there is a proof that I haven't got any email that is why I didn't submitted.

Can you please suggest me what to do now? Will there be any issue with my application?

No need to worry. It your application was approved, IRCC will not cancel it. NDVO is the sluggish office and they take forever to reply to emails. This is because Indian applicants tend to flood the email inbox with useless queries. Just give it some time. Also raise a CSE and send another email to CPC -Ottawa.

Hi @legalfalcon , I need your help badly. Please

I almost spent 5 years in Canada and got few work permit refusals.
Finally I came back to India and its been almost 3 years here in India.

Now I got sufficient work experience and improve my CRS to 443.

But still there are few concerns that bothers me while applying for EE.
1) Does those past work permit refusals affect my prospective PR application?
2) 2015, I got LMIA from a company in Ontario and applied for WP but got refused twice. Now the same company in 2018 providing me LMIA, will this make any problems while assessing my application? He is same employer who providing me Job offer with approved positive LMIA for my EE application.
3) In the past I had few years of work experience but I didn't show them in few initial application. However in Last two WP application, I showed to CIC but officer didn't believe that was genuine as he couldn't verify these with my initial application. Should I include these in my express entry application?? I'm not claiming points for these but anyhow will include in my personal history. What should I do in this situation? will this be the point for rejection or any misrepresentation ?

Kindly provide you expert opinion and guidance to mitigate this concern.

Thanks in advanced.

1) past WP refusals have no impact on your PR application.
2) This will depend on why your previous LIMA was refused. Did you try and get a reason or request GCMS for the LIMA?
3) You should address this in your LoE. Make sure that none of your applications filed in the past have different information. Be consistent and address all issues in the past.

For misrepresentation, it has to be material and one should benefit from it. So if you are not claiming points, then this will not be misrepresentation, however, you will have to address it for your application to look credible.

Hi @legalfalcon ,

I hope you are having a great day. Just 2 days back I got the "ready for visa" email asking for mine, my spouse's and my dependent's passports along with photographs to be sent to VFS. The email says that passports should be valid for at least 6 months. My passport is going to expire in just under 7 months from now, so I can still use the current passport albeit with a narrow validity margin, however, at the tentative time of my travel, this passport's validity would be under 6 months and so I will have to renew my passport anyway, in order to travel. So my confusion is as under:

1) Should I renew my passport now on urgent basis and send the new one to VFS. If that's the case will it cause any problem since it will be different from the one I used in my application. If I need to take this route, do I need to inform IRCC? If so, how? Also, if I get my passport renewed should I submit both passports (old and new) to VFS and fill the table with my new passport that has been asked in the email?

2) If I go with the current passport and get the visa stamp on this one and later renew my passport, will it cause me any problem since the visa stamp would be on the cancelled passport.

3) Our medicals are going to expire in January next year, but since my passport is going to expire in October this year, if I use the current passport, my visa expiry would be till October. I am fine with this since I plan to go at the earliest possible anyway, however, I would like to bring my family at the end of the year. My question is, will their visa expiration dates be tied to mine or they'll have independent expiration dates based on their Medical exam expiration dates and their individual passport expiration dates?

What is the best option for me right now? I would really appreciate any suggestion or helpful advice. TIA

Best,
Lazy

1) You can get your PP renewed now and send it. It will have no impact. Only submit your current passport. However, before you send your passport, inform IRCC that your PP has been renewed.

2) You can use your current PP and get the CoPR and visa. No issues at all. Even when you renew your passport, all valid visas in your old passport remain valid. However, you will have to travel with both the passports. So you can send your current passport, get the visa and CoPR, then renew your passport and travel with both the passports with the PR visa in the old passport.

3) The visa expiry dates is tied to the Primary applicant's passport / medicals which ever is earlier.

You can chose as mentioned above. Either of them will work.

Hi everyone, I submitted application on 19th Feb and got AOR. I am currently in IP2.

When i login to my CIC account and navigate to ->"View my submitted applications or profiles"-> Click Check Status and Messages for "Express Entry" Application Type, I am on a page with the following message:

"If no score is displayed, please check that you have met Minimum Entry Criteria above. If you have met the Minimum Entry Criteria but your score is not displayed, wait for 24 hours then try again."

@legalfalcon Can you please tell me if this has any significance?

If you have submitted your application. No need to worry. Wait for any response from IRCC or request your GCMS notes to be sure of any issues.

Hi @legalfalcon ,

Hope you would be fine, so I got WP for post-doc (LMIA Exempted) on landing, and my spouse will arrive in couple of days, she will receive SOWP and child (4 yr) will receive visitors' records.

I was just wondering, on my WP my child is not indicated as a dependent. is it normal or would it be a problem? or dependent child would be listed on SOWP? should I notify my wife to make sure at landing to check with CBC?

Kindly advice!
Thanks!

Your spouse will be eligible for SOWP, as regards your child, clarify it with IRCC.

Your spouse will be eligible for SOWP, as regards your child, clarify it with IRCC.

yes, but that's not I am asking....Spouse would get SOWP and child will get visitors record at landing.....as child have visitor visa (V-1) stamped on his PP.....the question is should child name must be indicated as dependent on either my WP or SOWP? as his name is not indicated on my WP as dependent child....
