You have given biometrics at collection centre.. Then just wait. IRCC processing applications for Jan 19-20. What documents you uploaded. It is normal. You can expect in may first week. All the best.
Thanks first, but I have not given my bio-metrics information yet, and here is my concern, because I have not get an instruction letter for bio-metrics yet. Those information about biometrics are still blank. Btw, I uploaded IMM5710, my transcripts, degree completion letter, passport and digital photo.

Its normal you can expect during first week of May. Good luck. What documents you uploaded?
Thanks, I also hope it’s gonna be fine, but I have not get an instruction letter for biometrics collection. I heard people should get that probably within 24h after the payment. So I am worried. Btw, I uploaded IMM5710, my transcripts, degree completion letter, passport and my digital photo.

Hi all,

I am sure this question has been asked million times but i need clarification before I apply to a college;

1- I am planning to apply Langara college for JAnuary 2021 intake. it is 2 years PDD programe.
During my study, is my wife can work? IF yes, it mean she will get approx. 2 years work permit?

2- After finish my study; I guess I will be eligible to apply PGWP. How long it take to get it? and How long work permit i can get?
- same permit will apply my wife as well? If yes, she will able to work approx. 5 years (2+3 years).

is it correct?

Thanks a lot people.

Hi,
I just completed my studies and am waiting to get my transcripts and completion letter. In the meantime we are allowed to work 20 hours a week right? But recently due to COVID-19 Canadian government has allowed students to work more than 20 hours if they are working in the essentials. Is it also applicable for students who have just recently graduated.?
