As far as I know, you can leave the country once you apply for citizenship: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 So I don't think your moving out of Canada might affect your citizenship application in any way. If you are just waiting for your green card in Canada...

Awesome! If you are in BC as well, it should take about 7-10 days for you to receive your card. So happy for you, man! :)

Timings may be different... somebody may land after you and get approval before you. This may happen for several reasons, e.g. your POE is slower than another to send the request, the immigration employee who is validating your request is slower than another, they may not find your pics, etc...

I was casually checking on the website on the approval day, and I saw it was approved. I got an email only the day after thou. So you don't really need to check the website every day, but if you do you may likely get to know about the approval before you get the email.

Thanks :)

Got my card yesterday! My timeline: Jan 11: Landing Feb 20: Card approved Feb 28: Card received (Vancouver BC)

No, if he claims points for arranged employment, he will lose those points. I got confirmed about this from an immigration attorney as well. Of course, he won't lose the points related to the past work experience. Also, if he gets another job, his score won't get affected. Just reading he's on...

Based on what I know, if you lose or leave your job and you become unemployed, you will have to notify IRCC of this, as losing your job will involve a recalculation of your score. If you lose too many points, you may risk. If your new score is below the minimum score accepted for Express Entry...

Sorry for the ambiguous message. I didn't mean to say that I got the card. Not yet. The status for my documents is: "We do not need additional documents". When the card got approved, the message was different and misleading, maybe it was something like "additional documents are being reviewed"...

Got it. Literally the other side of the country!!!:eek:

Thanks for the information. If they send them from Ottawa, I guess it takes much less to get to somewhere else in the same province rather than on the other side of the country. I will wait a few more days. Thanks!

Mine got approved on the 20th as well. Can I ask you where do you live? it may likely take more time for me, as I'm in BC.

First thing to do (if you haven't done it already), retrieve all documents you need to apply (e.g. police certificates, ECA, etc), as this can take a lot of time. Then, if you think that potential employer may not hire you if the process is going to take 6 months, just check what is the average...

Just to be more precise, it doesn't depend on where you call from, but from what kind of number. I tried to call it now from within Canada with my old US phone number, and when they transfer me to CIC immigration services, it says that the number is not available from my area, while it works if...

I believe it's not possible to call IRCC call center from out of Canada.

I can confirm, as I applied from Canada when I was on a work permit. The only advantage is if you already have at least 1 year of work experience in Canada you may get additional points for the express entry and you could potentially qualify to apply with the CEC program (which I don't think is...

Oh, I didn't know about this. Is it stated somewhere (like on their website) or you just asked? I got my pictures taken at London Drugs for my PR Card, and it got approved without needing to send photos again. The guy who took my pictures seemed to know the requirements for the photos for PR...

Based on my personal experience and on the timeline of other peoples here on the forum, BOWP processing takes about 2 months.

Thanks for mentioning the "do not forward" indication on the envelope of the letter. I was planning on moving to a different address and use the mail forwarding, but it's good a did not do it. I will just wait for my card for now. Thanks!

Just one more detail to add to my previous message, today I was anyway notified over the email as well about the status change of my PR card application. I remembered that even for past applications (e.g. for the BOWP) I got notified about one day after the actual status change. So, if the...
