Nope two different things, everyone has to do biometrics, but not everyone has to submit RCMP criminal record, RCMP criminal record is technically your police cert for the time you spend in Canada. There is tons of information about that on this forum, apparently its not hard to get one either that of course you don't have any criminal history in Canada.

Definitely a reason, it could be that there is someone with same name or something similar with red flag, so they just want to make sure. I wouldn't worry about it.

Apologies if this question has already been asked. I meet the criteria for CEC but not FST/FSW. My crs is 471, would I still get an invite today?

Applied for bringing open work permit on paper July 17 2019. My PGWP expired on July19 2019

Called cic , they mentioned the volume of applications and so it is going to be delayed

Got ITA on December

kept on working even after 3 months

got my permit approved Jan 3 2020

Applied for PR online during that time , Waiting now .

Please post on this thread for any doubts or questions.
Hi,

I just wanted to clarify, I am under post graduate work permit too. So you mean you were able to apply for bridging work permit even without PR application submitted?

Thanks.

Could you share list of documents you uploaded. I just wanted to know if there is something different about your case or not. Maybe a bit background info too if you don't mind.
