How did this go? A later case, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/sponsoring-family-mentioned-as-non-accompanying-unaccompnaying-in-express-entry.830132/ shows that this is possible, but I don't know if it would get processed quicker.

Where exactly? Are you sure about this? Almost all of the time, if you can see a CoPR number, then that means you've been issued a CoPR and it's on it's way. Which means that PR has been approved. It means exactly what it says it means - things are still in progress, no decision has been...

I know it's a bit old, but are the instructions listed in https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/urgent-vietnam-police-certificate.404067/page-2#post-7490695 out of date? These seem to match what IRCC recommends in...

How did this go? Seems like a few other folks are in a similar situation, see https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/police-certificate-vietnam-outside-vietnam.829743/

Hmm, seeing that current processing time for a replacement PR card is 59 days. There is urgent processing, but separate processing times for that don't seem to be available from the govt website. How long will you be in the UK? If you're planning a stay of two months or more, it might be an...

As you say, the issue here is the uncertainty. Publishing processing times for folks where "an instant and positive determination of compliance with the residency obligation can be determined" for each consulate would go a long way to help with this. A quick check suggests that might indeed be...

Well, to the point that Canadian authorities don't care if you work remote for someone in the US while you have Canadian PR and live in Canada, sure. (You might have problems if you don't have H1b and you try to use Canadian PR to work in the US without any US status - that typically doesn't...

Yes, I did this, because the relationship wasn't established until after ITA was received. Upfront means you do it before they request it - once they have requested it then it's no longer upfront. Doing it upfront can speed up the process (they can check the box right away instead of sending...

This is really good advice. Alas, hindsight is 20/20 - and even passports sometimes get lost or stolen. I knew someone in a similar situation - lost a US passport while abroad. Was able to make an emergency appointment at the nearest US embassy and get a temporary passport to continue traveling...

While this is technically true, it is theoretically possible to obtain a green card while working on TN-1 without needing to switch to a dual intent visa like h1b first. "Consular processing comes into play after an immigrant petition is filed on your behalf and approved, and then requires that...

When would this ever be the case? I know that for closed or employer-specific work permits issued by IRCC you can only work for that one company, that's not a PR.

It seems it's not required, see this earlier thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/do-we-have-to-inform-cic-if-job-changes-after-aor.481411/ Though if he's going to call IRCC anyways might as well ask them directly and get it from the horse's mouth...

A bit off topic, but I never understood this point. I suppose it may be since TRPs are not very common, but there's not a whole lot of info available. What's the rationale for TRP holders to have open work permits? And is the OWP granting discretionary in that case, or must it be given if a TRP...

Miss bee is correct. The terminology is confusing, but a Temporary Resident Permit is a separate thing from a work permit. You don't want to have a TRP, and you'd know if you held one - you have to especially apply for it and being granted one is discretionary, without any clear criteria, so...

It's definitely Temporary Worker. A Temporary Resident Permit Holder is something completely different and doesn't apply to most people. You also have to apply for it and spent some time waiting and hoping that it gets approved, so if you were one, you'd definitely know about it. (I.e. if you...

Agreed, this is why I wanted to see if anyone has tried it. Because it's a water crossing via ferry instead of a land border crossing; and also it is dealing with France rather than the US on the other side. On reflection, that actually does not cover you. After all, you referred to what...

Interesting counterpoint, if I'm understanding correctly: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/flagpoling-from-ferry-terminal-newfoundland.745439/ Also, I'd like to point out that this group seems to have a stricter definition of flagpolling than I've seen...

Interesting. Would be interested to read about that if you have a link handy. I knew that US folks were special in being the only nationality not to require an ESTA or a visa to enter Canada. I thought the exception wasn't for US passport holders traveling by air but for folks traveling from a...

I don't handle flying well so I rarely fly into Canada. I've done it twice, once with United and once with Porter. United wanted me to scan both my US Passport and Canadian PR card when I was boarding when I checked in at the airport (I wasn't able to check in online due to some other issue.)...

Curious that no one has written back on how it went. But yes as the third poster responded, it'd be enough to get the PR card and use that. Also, there is a process to follow to fix any issues or incorrect information on the CoPR itself. See...
