FSW here, AOR Dec 2, 2020.
Will be entering Canada on a work permit in mid-September. Will my presence in Canada expedite IRCC's PR decision-making process?

Is it just me or do agents not respond to webforms properly? I am losing my head here. I have an inquiry that requires sending a webform and the one time they referred it to an agent, I saw in my notes that they copied the bottom half of my webform that doesn't contain my inquiry!!!! I almost lost it yesterday. I feel like I am contacting aliens via webforms.

Unless you re-apply as a CEC you wont get priority. At this point you may get it sooner than reapplying.
How long is your work permit valid? If its for a year then hopefully you will get a PR by then

Important feedback is required.

Guys, let's say you get PPR at the start of November and COPR at the end of November. Now considering this would you land in Canada in December (as soon as you get the COPR I.e.) or rather on January end or February when the job market will be better??


Which options will be the best? Would feel great to hear your reasoning. thanks

If it'll be your first time landing in Canada with zero Canadian experience, it won't matter too much since the time frame you gave is only 3 months long. You'll most likely need to spend up to 6-12 months to find your first job. As you see, starting the job search sooner is always better. So land as soon as you can.

Also remember that some professions are regulated in Canada (like engineering), which means you're going to need a certificate from the corresponding Canadian body. For engineering, it takes at least 4 months (even for citizens) to get any sort of certificate and you're at a disadvantage until you get your certificate. Again, landing late will mean you get your certificate late. Land as soon as possible and start building your life in Canada. Also research what you can do without being in Canada to accelerate some of these processes.

Any idea of how long the security check takes.
All is passed according to my notes except for the security that is yet to start

Most outland applications are stuck with the same status for a long time. The problem is IRCC deliberately not starting security for outlanders because of the border closure. Normally security takes 2-3 months to complete.

It is a three-year work permit, I won't be surprised if I can get a PR under CEC before the IRCC looks at my FSW(O) file again.
No movement on my file at all between April and August.

Security usually takes 3 months

If you don't already have all or most of the 1 year Canadian experience to qualify for CEC, I'd not aim for CEC. CEC draws will be history soon. However, if you can become eligible for CEC in the next few (maybe 3-4) months, by all means go for it.

I heard that it depends on a country.

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I was worried about the uncertainties these days as you never know what is waiting for you tomorrow and any delay might become too risky considering the experience we had in this pandemic. So, what do you think about this? Is it wise to wait 3 months as the resignation takes 2 months of prior notice and come in February or take a month off from work and visit Canada in December to activate the PR and then later settle down in April/May permanently?

I hear that quite a many people do the latter; they land first to activate their PR then go back to their countries and do the job search in Canada online. That definitely keeps the costs down. In terms of covid-related uncertainties in the future, I really doubt there'll be huge lockdowns again. And CoPR holders will probably be exempt from restrictions again. However, I wouldn't gamble with this; we all saw how political and harsh it can all get which can cause you a lot of stress. Also from a social perspective if your intention is to live in Canada, the sooner you go and settle the better. If you have enough resources saved up you shouldn't have a problem with maintaining an acceptable life quality there in your first 6-12 months while you look for a decent job.
