Thank you >>>>>>>>> Legalfalcon <<<<<<<<<<<

I was wondering if I graduated first week of June 2019, applied for my PGWP in August 27 2019, but took full time work from June 26 till May 2020.

what can be done about the unauthorized work i did for those two months? It was accidental as I assumed it was allowed in Study Permit (my SP expired end of August 2019). Am I completely ineligible to apply for PR?

Hey @legalfalcon

Hope you are well.

I recently landed in canada with an authorisation letter and an expired copr. Upon landing a new copr was printed and given to me, while the old copr was retained. After completing all formalities, i realised my copr has the wrong country of birth printed on it.

The person said that he cant change it and i need raise it with ircc.

My question is-

1) Will my pr card also have the same mistake?
2) how do i rectify my copr, and if later required my pr card too?
3) should i proceed with getting sin card and other documents?
4) if you could also enlighten me on processing times for the corrections...

Im currently under quarantine and really troubled with this situation...

Thanks

As per paragraph R186(w), graduates who apply for a work permit, such as a post-graduation work permit, before the expiry of their study permit are eligible to work full time without a work permit while waiting for a decision on their application if all of the following apply:

• They are or were the holders of a valid study permit at the time of the post-graduation work permit application.
• They have completed their program of study.
• They met the requirements for working off campus without a work permit under paragraph R186(v) (that is, they were a full-time student enrolled at a DLI in a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program of at least 8 months in duration that led to a degree, diploma or certificate).
• They did not exceed the allowable hours of work under paragraph R186(v).

Applicants remain eligible to work full time without a work permit while waiting for a decision on their application even after leaving and re-entering Canada.

Applicants must stop working as soon as they are notified by IRCC (for example, via their MyAccount, by email or by mailed letter) that their application for a work permit is refused.

A foreign national cannot work in Canada, unless they have a valid work authorization, such as a work permit or a PGWP.

Regulations R200(3)(e)(i) states as follows:
(3) An officer shall not issue a work permit to a foreign national if

(e) the foreign national has engaged in unauthorized study or work in Canada or has failed to comply with a condition of a previous permit or authorization unless
(i) a period of six months has elapsed since the cessation of the unauthorized work or study or failure to comply with a condition.

Based on your situation, if you fall under the above, you will have to evaluate. If you did work without authorization you are reportable, and should consult a licensed professional to evaluate your circumstances based on your individual facts and circumstances.

1. PR cards do not have country of birth listed on it.
2. Send a webform and Inform IRCC.
3. YEs, the country of birth would not matter from SIN or other documents.
4. There are no published processing times, and with COVID, even those that are published are not being adhered to.

No need to be hassled by this, this is a minor issue and happens a lot, and will be corrected in due course.

Dear @legalfalcon ,

I just received my GCMS notes yesterday. Most of the page has s.19(1) on that, and I read:

Personal information

• 19 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the head of a government institution shall refuse to disclose any record requested under this Part that contains personal information.

Where disclosure authorized

(2) The head of a government institution may disclose any record requested under this Part that contains personal information if

• (a) the individual to whom it relates consents to the disclosure;
• (b) the information is publicly available; or
• (c) the disclosure is in accordance with section 8 of the Privacy Act.

I did research and understand that s.19(1) is just Spouse's information hidden right?
I have only page 44,45 that marked s16(2)(c) - (56 page in total)

As i remember I missed 1 form Family Info IMM5406 (for spouse), but they still gave me AOR, and ask for that form as additional form. Does s16(2)(c) regards to that, or is it something else?

I ordered GCMS note on Jan 20, 2021, and passed medical on Feb 02.
In the GCMS note, the medical had not started (but my medical has passed anyway).

Security didn't start in GCMS note and the due date is 2021. Oct 29. <- Does it mean I have to wait maximum until Oct 29 to know whether my security pass or not? Or it's just an estimation?

Eligibility passed
Criminality passed
Medical passed
Security not started
Info Sharing: Complete (don't know what it means but it's done anyway)

Do you thing my process is normal or abnormal?

Thank you for your time.

When you submitted your request for the GCMS notes, you spouse had to give you the consent to obtain his / her information, without that your spouse's information will be redacted under s19.

Certain information is redacted under s16 or 15, which is common and most GCMS notes will have this, see https://bit.ly/3uy4Bgz

Thank you for your fast response, one last question, i saw Due date: 2021, oct 29 in the Admissibility/ under Security check, is it just an estimation due date, or real due date that they decide to check it back? Have you seen any case that pass before due date?

Hello, thank you for your response:

From your indication with Regulations R200(3)(e)(i) :

The unauthorized work was from June 26th 2019 - August 26th 2019. Since then i was on implied status and then on a fully-approved PGWP. So that period of work was well over 6 months ago. Does that make it possible to be ok to apply?

Should i tell a lawyer all this and they can possibly come up with a solution or way forward?

Dear @legalfalcon

i need your help once again.

My boyfriend is a canadian citizen (has not applied for passport yet) but he has citizenship certificate. He lives in Toronto and I am PNP applicant (Alberta). I did not mention my boyfriend's details in EE profile before or after receiving ITA.

As I am a PNP applicant I am little cautious about it. I plan to quarantine at Toronto and then my boyfriend will come with me to Alberta to spend some time. Post that we will be meeting as and when possible.

Can I apply for AL under extended family?
Can my daughter also get AL?
Apart from IMM006 and his citizenship documents, my COPR and visa, do I have to provide anything?

Thank you
