    PGWP expiring soon???

    As your PGWP is valid for 3 years (the maximum), you cannot extend it when it expires. You will have to apply for a new work permit with your employer. I'm not sure why your company won't give you a LMO, all they have to do is just submit an application. You won't have implied status UNLESS you...

    File Transferred to Detroit USA

    Was the email they sent in in response to a case-specific inquiry you had sent them, or did they just email you out of the blue.. If they emailed you out of the blue then the email should have contained instructions on how to pay the fees and send in your passport

    Passport validity - at time of applying for CEC and PPR request

    Not sure if you would need to send in the old passport as it has expired, but probably wouldn't hurt to send in a photocopy of it. Wait and see if any of the seniors on this forum has any advice. Also, if you reside in Canada, your passport won't be stamped or anything when you send it in anyways.

    CEC Refused!...Please help!!

    I don't think you have to worry much about what your salary is. I applied under a managerial category and was paid maybe $12/hour, and it was not an issue for me.

    Don't be too worried, Aidan.. It took them 2 months after I sent in my application to receive AOR and Medical Request... It says 15 months for the processing time, but keep in mind this is how long it took people who applied in 2010 to get their pr. I applied early June 2011 and it took me about...

    General Observation on CIC immigration process

    actually, they started sending applications from Buffalo to Ottawa in July.. So there was a lucky bunch that applied in July and had their applications processed really quickly. That being said, I submitted my application in June 2011 and got my passport back first week of March, so not too bad...

    send passport to LA but forgot passport request letter

    I'm a bit surprised that all their forms are not standard then.. The fees & instructions form I received listed all the steps to take to mail in the passport, pictures, etc.. and had instructions about height/eye color, etc. with a box for you to fill in. As well, the letter attachment I...

    send passport to LA but forgot passport request letter

    It should be okay. How did you know to include a note with your height and eye color then? Did you use registered mail for your passport return? You can track it online next week and see if it's on its way back from Buffalo.

    PGWP and LMO

    When I spoke with a CIC rep, he mentioned something about calling in after the WP application has been sent in to let them know you've already applied for LMO and are still waiting. However, they also say that if you've not yet received your LMO, you should wait til the last two weeks before...

    send passport to LA but forgot passport request letter

    I didn't send in any passport request letter with mine. As long as you used the original document they provided you when you filled out the height, eye color, etc. your file number will be listed, so they will know it belongs to your file. I also included the file number on the envelop so they...

    PGWP and LMO

    Your employer should apply for the LMO about 12 weeks before your permit expires. I would apply for the work permit about 1 month before your current permit expires. If you've not yet received your LMO by that time, simply provide them with a copy of the submitted LMO request and with any...

    Passport validity - at time of applying for CEC and PPR request

    Your passport should be valid for about 2 years after your first date of application. This isn't a rule, but when they give you your PR visa, the expiry date on it is either 1 year after your medicals were done or when your passport expires, whichever comes first. Since the application process...
