Well, easy to say without walking in my shoes I guess... Anyway, I obviously cannot turn back the time, so I was hoping for advice about the future not about the past...

By the way when I received my GCMS notes, there was a part of the email that got me worried: The processing of your request is now complete. Please refer to the following for an explanation as to what was released: Disposition of your records: Disclosed in part Section(s) of the Act applied...

Dear all, 18 months since AOR and still no updates. I applied for PR first and then came to Canada on a closed work permit. My employer turned out to be terrible and I ended up resigning a few days ago. I filed a complaint to the Human Rights commission, complaining about the discriminatory...

Dear all, I have found myself in a tough spot regarding my status in canada.Here's a summary I applied for PR 18 months ago. Landed on a closed work permit about a year ago Started working and was bullied repeatedly at work by my managers and coworkers. Started to develop anxiety disorder to...

Just to touch base with everyone in this thread who's still waiting to hear fro IRCC. I have also been waiting since June 2016 and according to my GCMS notes everything is in order. No decision from IRCC though. Nor any updates whatsoever in my online account, and of course no useful answer from...

Great thread Legal Falcon, as always! I spent hours reading all the posts and it's good to know I am not the only one frustrated with the lengthy and mysterious background check process. I am AOR June 2016, and been stuck in background check for over a year now. I ordered GCMS notes for the...

:-( this waiting game is seriously annoying. Fingers crossed for some good news for everyone left.

I haven't posted here in a long time, but thought I'd check and see who else is left waiting for their PPR from our group. It's been 15 months since my AOR and still no PPR. Since then, I moved to Canada with a work permit and have been living in Winnipeg for nearly 10 months now. Can't believe...

Hi Guys, My 6 months will be completed by the end of this week. I landed in Canada 2 months ago hoing to receive my LMIA and starting to work until PR is issued. But unfortunately, my LMIA was rejected due to a technicality. Nothing wrong with my application though. It was just that my employer...

I got mine 1.5 months after AOR. FSW outland.

Email received by my employer after 1 month from submitting the application: In response to your escalation to the Employer Contact Center submitted, please be advised that your application for [...] is in queue for processing by the next available officer. Please note that our program is...

RPRF request on 5 August through sending email to visa office. Received confirmation that receipt was transferred to the finance team (26 August). No updates on cic account whatsoever. The RPRF request said eligibility passed, so I'm kind of happy I didn't pay RPRF upfront. Hope to hear some...

I would recommend using Airbnb. You can find a private room, an apartment or a condo. Find some place with good reviews and it's really safe.

Digging out some on the older threads, I was wondering if anyone has any clues what the trend is these day for PPR after RPRF? Sounds like it is not as quick as it used to be last year ( PPR in a matter of days) and people have waited for 2-3 months to see any change after payment? Any thoughts?

I would recommend you do as they say and Let them get back to you before sending your passport anywhere. They will send you proper instructions in a matter of days. By the way, how come you received the email from the Ottawa CPC. ( I assume from your post that you are an outland applicant so...

I would think the most important thing to have in mind is the validity of the medical test. To do it after you have an ITA will give you more confidence that your medical would still be valid by the time CIC reaches a decision. My two cents...

Do you have any tax statements? I would imagine including those should also be helpful.

10 days if you send the receipt via a CSE. I had to do it as I didn't have the option to attach documents on my CIC. Then I emailed the receipt to Ottawa CPC as well and to my surprise I had an email from them today that they will forward the receipt to their finance team for review. Took only 1...

From CIC website: Most visitors to Canada cannot work or study in Canada without a permit. If you are visiting Canada and you want to work or study, you have a few options if you still have legal status in Canada. For a new work permit, you can apply: from your home country or another country...

The later is free while the former has a $1000 fee. Dual intent LMIA, if positive,will enable the applicant to apply for a work permit while waiting for their PR. I believe only an employer is able to apply as only they can provide all the documents required.
