I'm glad I could help. Cheers!

I totally do agree with you. But I think using this approach once the backlog is over would be effective in the long run; especially if they increase the number of landing agents. This whole landing interview formalities is nothing but a waist of time in my opinion, the questions they ask you...

To be honest, this method makes so much more sense than this ridiculous and outdated method CIC Vancouver is using. It circumvents the issue of some people who don't show up to their interviews and land at a border instead. And it works on a first come, first serve basis. I really love this...

hope.2019 did mention that they just got their passport request for a visa, therefore I don't believe he's been to Canada before (as a refugee). I don't think any prior visits to Canada as a visitor would be relevant. I would like stress one more time that this only my opinion.

To be honest I don't see any issues with using the Syrian passport. Hope.2019 is not even a PR yet (although he's approved for, but he still haven't landed). I can't see how IRCC can argue this point to be vacation/cessation of refugee status since he doesn't even have refugee status in Canada...

lol let's hope those 2 days off don't create another backlog

Don't forget that tomorrow is Good Friday and Monday is Easter, so they'll probably be closed.

You can get it renewed. Check the following link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/updates/2019-replace-refugee-document.html Good luck!

Wow! Thank you so much. Amazing work! Let's all keep updating it.

I understand that you have a restricted work permit, but I think since you probably satisfy all the requirements for the bridging program therefore I believe that if you apply for an open work permit under the bridging program the restrictions would be lifted. Anyways I am in no way an expert...

You can have your work permit extended under the "Bridging Open Work Permit Program": https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/extend-permit/bridging-open-work-permit.html Good Luck!

No worries! I sure will keep you guys updated. This is what this group is for. We're all here in this together. Cheers!

There's been a big backlog at Vancouver's CIC office lately. Last I heard it was a 3 months long backlog. So, if the backlog is still at around 3 months expect your interview letter within 2 months from the the date you got your DM on ECAS. After you get your interview letter, expect to be...

Probably his application is still ongoing, unless he received another message stating that he's been refused due to lack of interest. Ask to do the medicals and send it along with a letter of explanation explaining what happened in details. Good luck!

Yes you do have to send the original copy of your "Notice of Decision". Don't worry they will return it to you with your RTD in mail. But when applying for permanent residence, only a photocopy of your "Notice of Decision"is sufficient.

No, I don't believe you can combine them. You should double check with IRCC though.

You should raise a "Case Specific Enquiry" and let them know what's going on. If the IRCC concludes that identity is not a concern then they will issue you an exemption letter, otherwise they will ask CBSA to return your passport to the CIC office. This link might be helpful...

In my opinion there is nothing to worry about. Worst case scenario you'll have your interview at the beginning of June. As a US national I think you won't have any trouble flying or driving back to Canada. If you were flying back to Canada the airline will still let you board as Americans don't...

That is very weird. Anyways, you were still able to get a good date for your landing. Congrats!

Didn’t you say it was already approved for Calgary when you sent a case specific enquiry?
