CEC August 2018 Applicants

[EEMduShan]

You can continue to work on an expired SIN (and be paid) until you receive your BOWP. Once received, go to a Canadian Services office to renew the expiry date on your SIN. The only thing I would consider in your circumstance is waiting to file last year's tax return until you have renewed your SIN expiry - though I can't confirm if that is actually affected.

Source: I've done this.

Thanks!

Unless your status changes (temp to PR to Citizen), the expired SIN will do (in my opinion)

yes i got second ghost update yesterday

CIC doesn’t understand and believe in this ghost email concept. Hence if there was a ghost email or update, there have been some changes.
So you should precisely ask what changes has been made which triggered this email or update. I am sure you will have some additional informations.

[movais]

The one thing that confuses me is - My work permit expires this Saturday (Feb 2nd) + my SIN, same for my wife.

PR is still at IP2 and I am waiting for BOWP/SOWP for and my wife to get approved so I guess after Saturday we're onto implied status until either PR or BOWP/SOWP is approved. But then that makes me thing what the point was for paying to apply for the BOWP/SOWP if implied status kicks in anyway? :S

Because you are implied status for BOWP and you can work. But implied status for PR application does not allow you to work.

So I called CIC and they told me, my application has been finalized and approved. But now I have to wait for PPR email.

Does ghost update refer to an email or your application status changes to 'Application/Profile updated? Can you please confirm?

 

[movais]

So my security has been cleared, everything else is cleared and my application has sent for finalizing and approval. She didn't say if it was approved, but she said you will get a request for passport in next few days.
