No update since than! I see lot of FSW-outland gets PPR in 40-50 days, my application is not moving.
I have traveled to many countries to attend conferences and for leisure travel,
Do you know if they inquire at all countries traveled as well, in addition to the PCC ? then may be it is taking time there,
I want to hurry up the process as my company is offering me job in Canada, and it's time sensitive they want me to join by July, let me know if I call them IRCC thanks
Hey Mehul, welcome to the April 2018 AoR club.
I also have travelled extensively in the last 10 yrs (72 trips recorded while submitting the applications ).
PCC is required only for countries where your total stay is 6 months or more (continuously or collectively visiting them). It is totally up to the authorities descretion if they want to enquirer with authorities for each and every location that you have visited. They may give you a pass for certain locations that you would have visited and certain location may attract more scrutiny.
Regarding your role in Canada, your org has to also understand that you cannot legally travel or work here unless authorize approve of your documents. Why not discuss with the you can work possibly remotely from there till your process get completed and then pack your bag and off you go... There is a mind game as well, if they say NO to you don’t you think they have to find a new candidate either from where you are or someone here locally, they will have to additional time to short list the candidate and start his process all over again. Even if they do have the candidate in mind and the candidate might be available locally here, they still have to spend extra amount of efforts to bring him up to speed with the way your org works, with you they already have a guy who knows how the processes of the org works
I had a similar situation when my org was doing a WP for me to transfer me to Canada. My WP application was filled end of Aug.
There initial expectation was that I could join by Sep, then when they realized that WP application may take up to 39 weeks of processing they changed my joining date to end of Dec. In the end I ended up joining end of Feb
.
Kind of them for there patience and all the support they provided during this time.
Calling IRCC is ok, that may help you to some extent where your application is at present and you can ask them if your eligibility, BGC has been completed and passed or not.
However calling IRCC may not help you in expediting there application. You can refer Emmenm07 post here on this thread to find out the phone number/options to choose/what time to call..
Hope this helps!!!
