    Waiting for oath ceremony to be rescheduled

    My partner missed his ceremony on Feb 22nd, the timezone was mountain time and we live in Vancouver, so he missed the ceremony by 1h. We sent 3 webforms and 2 emails (one to IRCC.DN-CITIZENSHIP-CEREMONIES-RN-CITOYENNETE-CEREMONIES.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and one to the Edmonton office - where his...

    Did you attach the previous biometrics to the application when you submitted it? I only submitted the previous medical, I completely forgot about the biometrics lol

    Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

    Got approved! Submitted August 28, inland (BC), approved Nov 22. No email, just checked this morning and the status of my application was " application/profile updated", then it went back to submitted. Checked again after a few hours and it changed to "approved". :)

    I didn't have any issues, but I did hear stories from my classmates. Most students keep the job they had during school until they get the PGWP and then they look for another/better job.

    They just started processing August applications now. A lot of people from July still waiting for approval as well...

    No. You don't need a TRV if you plan to stay in Canada.

    Your study permit is not a travelling document. Is your TRV still valid??

    Try to contact your local MP office, from what I've heard, they have the ability to look into immigration cases, and have a direct line to IRCC.

    You can't apply for PGWP until you officially graduate and receive your transcript and graduation letter from the school. Do you have a valid TRV?

    This is the exact link my immigration lawyer went through with me when I asked him if I can still work after leaving and re-entering Canada. He also said to disregard the WP-EXT for PGWP letter, as its purpose is to show employers we are eligible for full-time work, and most PGWP applications...

    Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

    My bad, disregard the last link. But the link you quoted is for the work permit, not PGWP. There's a huge difference in the laws between the two of them, as my immigration consultant mentioned to me a few weeks ago. The link refers to WP-EXT only except PGWP - we received WP-EXT for PGWP -...

    They send those letters so we can show our employers we are legally allowed to work. They're automated, I believe, and most students in my class for example didn't receive one. You can disregard the date on it, as we are allowed to work until a decision is made. Source...

    Return to Canada while PGWP processing

    Did you tell them you are waiting for PGWP to be approved? Or how did they know? They don't have access to IRCC data. Also, fully vaxxed visitors are allowed to come to Canada starting Sept 7, 2021, provided they have valid ETA/TRV. I know airlines have been asking for proof of temporary...

    Return to Canada while PGWP processing

    Sorry but this is not true. Airlines never ask for a study or work permit, if you have a valid ETA/visitor visa then you're allowed to board. Once you land in Canada, the border officers ask for additional papers/permits to determine your status in Canada and/if you're allowed to enter Canada...
