Hi,

Does anyone know that if I can apply for study permit while my CEC case is still in processing? I am currently holding a post graduate work permit and want to transfer it to study permit because i cant wait to go back to school. However, the system asks me how long i will be in canada and only choosing 'temporary' could get me to the next stage while applying for the study permit, but it would a lie because I already applied for PR and its processing. Has anyone got any idea how to do this?

Thanks!
Yes technically you can apply/get a study permit while holding a PGWP, though not sure why anyone would.
Your PR application itself doesn't give you any status. Until you receive your COPR, your status is still temporary and what allows you to stay at Canada is your PGWP, not your PR application.

Based on what you said to me it look like Eligibility and Criminality are passed and Security is not initiated. It seems consistent with all previous answers (the last one is just a generic "we are working on it"). No apparent progress, but that seems to be the stage that a lot of people are stuck at.

Hi @codeheals have you received your GSMS notes? I am still waiting for mine ordered on Sep 29. Just curious as we ordered them around the same time.
Unfortunately, not yet. I hope I will receive it by the end of Friday as I saw someone ordered it on the same day (Sep 30) and got it yesterday morning.

Read the GCMS notes, no one touched my file. Okay, just placed another GCMS notes order and wait for another month.
What is the point of placing another GCMS order? It will not help or speed up the processing of your file. At this point the only consequence will be longer waiting times for everyone as they will have one more note to process.

I am hearing from other groups that CIC is testing some portal for the next steps of all candidates who will have all steps completed and approved. Hold tight for any update.

Well, that's literally the only thing I can do. I have called them every week / 2 weeks for movement. I have to admit that I am not patient enough as I urgently need my status for next step.

I understand that, it is frustrating but there are a lot of people in the same situation ( I myself have a job offer pending on PR approval). If we all ask notes multiple times, no one will get them in a reasonable timeframe.

GCMS notes will not give you any new information, if you want to do something I would suggest to keep calling them. Both WebForm and GCMS notes use more resources and can delay others.

After I was unable to login for an hour when I finally did there was an Application/updated on my PR application.
Is this a glitch - anybody else got the same?

Ah people say you have to be happy with the small things - I'm happy now :p
