Apparently you are not allowed to stay at a hotel. (And while not explicitly mentioned, I suppose they also mean airbnbs): https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/2019-novel-coronavirus-information-sheet.html How are new residents supposed to...

@whyCorona Reading your posts and the exchange with @pkhare23 has me convinced that closing and re-opening case is some sort of an infinite CoPR extension hack! (Well, not really infinite, but 6 months to a year?) Is that the consensus view? I sit here stuck in US with an expired H1b as well...

Looks like there is a new guidance, but it is unclear how long the case can be closed and reopened...

I got my "ready for passport" email last week. Status in the portal hasn't changed, but I'm assuming that case was approved (since they wouldn't ask for passport otherwise) Thanks to everyone in the forum who helped! I was stuck in eligibility for over 10 months, an agent on the call told me...

Quick update on my application: Jan 20 AOR; I was told on the phone that my eligibility was not met, and I ordered GCMS notes shortly thereafter. Today I received a message titled "Procedural fairness" asking for a job reference letter. So there's some hope after all. They however didn't say...

Yes and Yes. This is the only area where there can be some disagreement, there's no cookie-cutter equivalence. Hoping to confirm through GCMS notes that this is the issue. Of course, immigration records with other countries are irrelevant. I'm just remarking how it is interesting that the...

Let's see - I was 29 years old at the time of applying. My IELTS converts to CLB 9. WES educational report says "Master's degree". And I have worked for over 6 years (continuously since 2011 graduations minus one year for master's degree). This alone translates to 24+23+15+12 = 74 FSW points...

Good to know, thank you. GCMS buddy says it will take 35 days, I'll find out then.

Thanks. What is their appeals process like? Hire your own legal representation or DIY? I think I’ll wait for an official rejection before any such step (and GCMS notes to diagnose the refusal). But if the appeals process helps with the diagnostics, and isn’t as expensive as reapplying, I might...

webforms have never worked for me. nothing happens when I click that link

So I just called. The IVR system couldn't find my application. After waiting 29 mins on the line got Danielle. She checked my application and said I didn't meet the eligibility requirement - but couldn't see why. Looks like I'm not going to Canada by PR route at least. What a waste of money and...

Ordered GCMS notes today. Y'all convinced me Any success getting an agent on the call recently? Which number/app to use and when did you call?

Okay but what is the action to be taken if, let's say, the GCMS says background check is pending? Or eligibility in progress. Or anything else really. There's no way to get in touch with those guys.

Jan 20 AOR. I haven't even ordered GCMC notes yet because (1) don't want to hand over all my personal information to this private company I know very little about (2) there's no action to be taken based on the results, is there? They'll process the file at their own pace and will get back to...

Don't fret over the language, just provide the right documents and see what happens! This could just be "official talk". Also some of these agents are non-native English speakers. One of the emails I received from IRCC started with "Good day Mr X" - which an English speaker would never open...
