It sounds like returning home is safer. He worries that given the new rule. He might not be able to re-enter Canada (despite that his visa is still valid for another one year, just that he can only stay months max). He told me a found an employer who is willing to support him for open work...

Thanks @canuck78 and @Naturgrl

Thanks to everyone that contributed. Another question I have is if he wants to apply for a study/work permit (if he wants to study or get a job offer from an employer), does he still need to extend his stay, or he can just apply for the study/work permit alone?

Thanks everyone. Interesting, so helping us will be viewed as working illegally? Hmm, thanks for the enlightenment. @canuck78 can we say that we will further support him - he is staying in a room in our house.

My brother in law has been in Canada since October and has 6 months before having to return ad possible come back in the future. We will like to extend his stay (has 2 years visa on his passport). Wondering if anyone has extended successfully during this period of immigration changes with a lot...

Please does anyone know how much time it takes to send one's passport back once interviewed for a US visiting visa. I am based in Vancouver but I guess any US visa post will do. Need to travel to the US two weeks after my visa interview. Chris.

@LIAmour. Yes, I wrote an LOE explaining I didn't realize I had to stop working and apologized - and did mention I stop having realized I must stop working. I also explain other circumstances such as my need to renew my passport which was expiring (hence the hesitation about applying for a PGWP...

Anyone knows how to go about this. I have applied for an extension of my PGWP and this has to be mailed (paper application) as per IRCC instruction. What can I present to my employer as they may ask me to stop my job once my visa expires in a few months. The current processing time is like ~86...

My family has a pending PR application since last October. Since we aren't sure of the outcome, can one spouse make the application with the hope that once approved the other spouse can process his. We hold another ITA that will expire next week and we don't want to spend too much money (for...

my uni told me I need to apply separately. and no, it didn't come. Canada needs our money, not surprised I have to apply for that again - hahahaha

Honestly, I can't remember if I did - I just logged into my cic account now to check but couldn't retrieve the document upload page. But I uploaded my passport and all data page. What I'll say is if you find out you need to - pls submit it asap as your application may be refused! - especially if...

ok thanks. I have my old TRV (the initial one that came with my study permit). can't I use that if I want to travel (since it is still valid)?

I didn't apply for TRV (good question, I have to find out if I need to also apply for a TRV alongside my PGWP - do I?

I see. May be due to covid-19 which is slowing everything down - not sure.

Yes you will be sent one. I think I got mine the following day after submission.
