PPR Today

Hey, what was their email address (was it specific to the Edmonton VO)? I got a ghost update on July 25th, but no email as yet. My AOR is same as yours. Thank you for your help.
 
--- Should I wait untill September and apply for BOWP later if I haven't heard anything from IRCC?

Hi, I just want to mention that it would be better if you applied at least 30 days before your old work permit expired. I heard that while I'm calling CIC. I'm sorry for mistaking and recommending 15 days before. You can also consult an expert to be more confident.

Good luck

Hi guys,
My current work permit will be expired in the end of October and my PR application has been in the process for 4 months. So, I am considering to extend my work permit by applying for Bridge Open Work Permit if I haven't heard anything from IRCC until September. No updates in my PR application so far. Is it okay to start applying for BOWP within 2 months before my current WP expires? What do you think? Much appreciated it!
Thanks
nothing to worry.. apply anytime before it expires

My PR application has been in the process for more than 4 months and still eligibility reviewing and background checking. VO location is at Vancouver. AoR: April 2nd. Anyone is on the same boat?
 
My visa office was Edmonton
AOR 18th April
MEP 30th May
Got an email today from CPCE with the subject "communication to client" which is different from lot of you guys received which was " ready for visa" or something similiar. my info inside is legit and they are asking for passport and two photos. so yeah it took 4 months but i was also applying for the 2nd time my 1st application had gotten rejected.
Also realized calling Cic helps, only once your background and eligibility are cleared as i called them last week monday to know my status as its already close to 4 months, the guy told me that my background and eligibility were cleared and the application was in the queue for final verification so that was very helpful..

i am sorry should have framed the sentence better lol, i was calling them once every week in the past month as i was getting paranoid and my status as a worker had expired and i am on an implied status. every time the response i got was your background and eligibility are getting processed, but last week i saw a ghost update, called them, they confirmed my background and eligibility are cleared.
