It's a bit of a grey area, admittedly. I spoke with an immigration lawyer and although it's not advised to use the IEC as a bridging visa while waiting for PR, they are exclusive of each other, so you can legally do the IEC (if you get your ITA) and then flagpole. Normally, given we are both...

Did you apply for the IEC in the mean-time?

Say, for example, I was in Canada on an IEC and received my notification for COPR, would I be able to leave the country for 1-2 weeks then return using my PR to make the landing? My thinking is that would then make my IEC work permit obsolete. I understand that it may cause issues with any...

Thank you, appreciate your help as always. Have you ever heard of a situation where someone has struck it lucky and been sent their COPR while in country on an IEC?

@legalfalcon if you have any knowledge on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Currently waiting for my PR application to be processed. As we know it’s all going pretty slow at the moment, at least for FSWs filed in 2020 (I’m Dec 2020). I noticed that IEC program has opened up again. If you applied for IEC and received an ITA, would submitting an application complicate or...

Do you have links to these other threads, by any chance? It would be really helpful/re-assuring to read others in the similar situation and their outcomes.

I have applied for PR and submitted my application in December 2020. During this application, I selected 'No' for the question regarding refusals, etc. I applied for a tourist visa this month, Aug 2021, and selected 'No' for the option because I had no idea that I had a work permit refusal on...

I'm in the same position. I had a work permit refusal in 2018 because one of my police clearance certificates didn't arrive in time. I thought the application had simply timed out/wasn't processed, but as it transpires, this counts as a 'work permit refusal'. I did not know this until I...

Hi @legalfalcon I applied for an eTA last week as I am hoping to travel to Canada for a holiday for 1week once the borders open Sept 7th. As part of the eTA it asked if I had ever been refused a visa, permit or asked to leave Canada. I said no, but my application got put to further review...

@legalfalcon are you able to assist with this, please?

I submitted my FSW application in December and like most on here, waiting for further updates. I lost my job due to COVID in December 2020 (after I submitted my application), and started a new job in May 2021. I have not sent a web form through to the IRCC to update them as I am not claiming...

Here is an example. I spoke with this user over messaging about their process, which is why I had the link to hand quickly: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/outland-application-updates-covid-19.690767/post-9029816 I don't exactly bookmark the page every...

That is incorrect. While it's true that the emphasis has been on inland CEC applications for the majority of the pandemic, there have been FSW-O applications processed. Granted, not at the rate that we would hope, but it is happening. Please don't spread incorrect information for the sake of it.

Of course i understand that and I appreciate a lot of people quite simply have their lives 'on hold' while this plays out. That being said, even more so, I stand by what I said in avoiding posting conjecture as it helps nobody :)

It's posts like this that have made me stop coming on this forum as much. Appreciate everyone is frustrated with processing times and theorising about what if's and possible scenarios, but, stating things like this when it is not factually correct or been officially confirmed by Canadian...

I confirmed this with a friend of mine who was granted his PR last year. He didn't include a copy of his IELTS results and instead, provided the number when prompted in the early stages of the application when it asked for scores, date the test was taken, etc. Furthermore, most (not all)...

I'm you but a year later! I submitted everything Dec 2020, so my application is very much in its infancy, comparatively. Congrats on the approval, but equally that's frustrating it's not been officiated to you yet. Did you have to go for an interview or anything in the UK or has it been...

Any applicants applying from the U.K. and based in either London or somewhere else in Britain? Would be good to connect with others who are in the middle of the process and compare experiences so far/get an idea of how everyone's applications are progressing
