Please help my visa expires in 2 days and I dont know if this is normal or not!!!

Yesterday applied for BOWP and today got a message (a letter) titled “WP-Ext Only Except PGWP”.
It stats that I should attach that letter to my current WP (which is PGWP) and I can continue working... Is it normal to get this letter for BOWP?

This letter if authorizing you to continue working under the same condition of your current WP during they process your BOWP.

@legalfalcon - any words of wisdom?

Eligibility- passed
Medical- passed
Criminality- passed
Info sharing- complete
Final- Approved

No email or update on the portal yet.
Congratulations!! Just wait for the PPR and if you are inland, for the COPR.

Submitted June 1st 2020
FSW outland
BIL: 31st august 2020
I received my GCMS notes in October.
This was on the second page:
ASSESSMENTS
Eligibility: Passed
Security: Not Started
Criminality: In progress
Org crime: (blank)
Medical: Passed
Misrepresention: (blank)
Info Sharing: Complete
Other Reqs: (blank)
Final: (blank)

On Page 164
Section A11.2 has case processing agent notes, where everything is 'appears to meet'

Does that mean Eligibility is passed after crossing all steps? Or will there be another review for Eligibility.
Due to COVID19, I submitted my India PCC via web form so that is why criminality is in progress I think.

I applied for GCMS notes for the second time on 25th November. I don't know if will receive it on 25th Dec or not. Patience being tested!

Is this a new thing now? When I applied for BOWP in August, all I got was a 'Submission Confirmation'.

After confirmation, I got another letter as described above 'WP-Ext Only Except PGWP' detailing the extension of my work permit. I did BOWP last week so not sure it a new thing or not.

The letter is normal, I received the the same shortly after submitting my BOWP last week. I'm on a work permit.

The post grad work permit part is a little confusing for your application I agree. I take it you specified your permit details during application?

I'd say many of the forms and replies are broad & generic, you should be fine, you applied before permit expired and entitled to remain here till your PR is finalized.

I am CEC inland applicant. Final decision is made and Awaiting email from ircc. I stay in ontario and my wife is in quebec. Agent says we will get individual email link for portal to confirm pr and have to create invidual accounts to confirm address, currently in canada , last port of entry.

@legalfalcon My question is can my wife (dependent)still provide her quebec address in portal without worry. Or is it mandatory she move out to ontario? Principal applicant (me) have a full time job and currently in ontario since april.

Do you have IRCC contact number? I tried few times and had to wait for more than a hour. Its tiring..
Call the IRCC Call Centre ( 1-888-242-2100), from within Canada only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm local time, except for statutory holidays).

**Please call around 7:45am - 8:30am. They will ask you to stay in line or schedule a call back(I did the call back-they called back within 20 minutes)** I did call twice and never had any issues ..

congratulations. Which office did you send your passports? I am on the same boat Outland - PNP, sent passports to ottawa on November 23,2020 and it got delivered on November 24,2020. My profile shows approved on November 30,2020. Still waiting for the return tracker to be activated. What about yours? Did it get activated already?
Hi, I hope you have received the passport with CoPR by this time.

I submitted to visa office in Singapore and it took exactly one week to get it back.

Processing took 2 days.

Hello all,
I have received my CoPR last night
AOR:10 June CEC inland-single applicant(VO- Ottawa)
Biometric exempted: Oct 20
Background: Oct 21
As per agent, passed all the stages: November 4
Received an update for approval in my account.

As per CoPR letter, need to send my picture to the Vancouver Immigration office for PR card.
So, my question is: Is it possible if I can apply my PR card through new PR portal or I have to follow the instructions as per letter.

Follow the instructions. Why would you try something against instructions?
