Yeah that’s what I thought too. But I haven’t been outside Canada in 2.5 yrs now, and at the time of application I hadn’t been out of Canada for 1.5 yrs or more. That’s strange. I remember an IRCC agent telling me that the final checklist of forms + supporting documents is what matters not the...

Curious, I submitted an application for visitor visa restoration in Sept 2020 (I had a study permit prior to that) and they asked me to upload a medical info sheet. Thankfully I had one that is valid until Aug, 2021. Maybe it’s different depending on what country you’re from?

Hi Javis, Hmm, yes they do ask you to upload medical exam info sheet for a visit visa extension/restoration. If you don’t have results from an exam that was performed within the past 12 months then you need to get one. If you can’t get one right now because of pandemic closures, you can upload...

Is this for the questionnaire before they give you the checklist of forms & supporting documents? If so, it doesn’t really matter what annswers you put as long as you get the correct forms & documents. As for my visitor restoration, I answered “temporarily- more than six months” Yes, you’ll...

Not sure about criminality - maybe they call IRCC or there’s something in eCAS. For background check: it should be available on your GCKey when you access your PR application. There is a section called ‘background check’ just like there’s one for Eligibility or Medical or Biometrics. One your...

Thanks Sandy! Waiting patiently is proving to be more difficult withe each passing day - especially as more and more people hear positive news! But I appreciate your response :)

HI everyone, Does anyone else get this message when they call IRCC and get the automated update about your application: "the review of your eligibility has not started yet"? I know that my BGC has started and I received BIL & medical request. No SA or AIP yet. Thanks!

And you’re saying your PCC was valid only for 6 months? I was under the impression that they’re valid for atleast 1yr.

Oh no sorry to hear! Do you mean the PCC was valid for 6 months starting in Nov? Do you know the exact date?

Hi Javis, You can also check your eCAS status by using a receipt number that starts with R000000 (you also included this document in your application package as proof of payment). IRCC received my app on Sept 8 but they only sent me the biometrics reminder email on May 10. Some people from...

Honestly it’s taken people anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months to receive AOR for 2020 applicants. Maybe they’re getting on track with 2021 applicants. I wish I could tell you anything different: but it’s just a waiting game at this point. Keep checking eCAS with your UCI to see if...

Here in BC, you can get provincial health coverage if you’re the spouse/common-law partner of a Canadian and have submitted an in-Canada application for PR. It wasn’t straightforward on their website & I had to contact my MLA to know that this option actually existed. Maybe they have something...

Yes it’s an electronic COPR but most people still have to do an interview (either virtual or in person). Yes I hope so too!

You’re right they’ve made exceptions for interviews- but instead of waiving them entirely I think they’re holding virtual ones. As far as I’m aware.. they’re also giving out eCOPRs Haha thanks! I hope to get it done in time to start school this September or maybe visit my family whom I haven’t...

Sorry to hear must be so frustrating! I also never received my AOR but they said it's complete and won't be returned. Got BIL & med req though so hopefully things will start moving for you :)

Depending on where you will be when you apply for TRV (India or a third country) processing times could be lengthy. So plan accordingly- you definitely do not want to be stuck if visa offices are closed in India because of the covid situation.

Yeah did you try a different dr? Try calling around to see if they all have the same requirement. You might even need to go to a nearby city. If they do, contact IRCC through webform to seek an extension for your medical or guidance on what to do next. They might give you extra time to...

Hi there, Are you an inland or outland applicant? (i’m not able to see your signature for some reason) When did you have your medical? It is taking longer for clinics to upload e medical results. It is taking even longer for IRCC to assess them & mark them as passed. I assume that if you...

Hi, Do you mean the information you input into the individual IMM forms which you then uploaded as part of an application package online? If yes, I’m afraid not. Like you said you can only see the submitted docs not their info. Did you want to change something or confirm something?

Hi there, To extend your study permit, you technically need to apply 30 days before the expiry of your current study permit. Since your SP expires after your current course is over you’re good to go for the current program. For the new program starting in Sept: is it at the same uni? Is it a...
