I don't think you have to submit anything till you hit 1 year mark as common-law. In my case, I contacted CPP-Ottawa and their initial response said that I do not have to submit anything at the moment as we have not reached 1 year mark. 2wks ago, I received another email from CPP-O to provode a...

Has anyone here extended your bridging open work permit and was approved? Here is my story: I am January 2013 applicant with BOWP and I am 28 wks pregnant (due in March 2014). Before I received my medical request, I've informed CPP-Ottawa in September that I am expecting and will postpone my...

Thanks, iam_toby & jes_ON. I think the reason it's taking so long is because CPP-Ottawa has put my application on hold after I informed them about my pregnancy back in September and my plan to postpone my medical till after I deliver my baby.... >:( Had I known they'd put my entire...

hi I just received my GCMS notes. Under Schedule Info: Schedule 8: Work Experience Work Experience: 0 Work experience 0?? What does that mean? I submitted schedule 8 and listed my duties and responsibilities along with a letter from my boss, pay stub and T4. I worked full-time at the same...

Hey guys, I applied on Jan 29, 2013. Just received GCMS notes and says my eligibility has not even started (it shows a due date of March 8, 2014) :'( I notified CPP Ottawa about my pregnancy and my intention of not proceeding with medicals till after the baby is born. In the notes on GCMS, it...

Contact your visa office and explain the situation. I've requested to defer my medicals for the same reason as yours. CPP Ottawa told me to advise them once I deliver my baby with birth certificate.

I renewed mine. I had a letter from my employment but I was told that they do not have to see the letter. From what I understand, if the case type on your OWP shows 27, it indicates that you are an approved principal applicant for PR and in this case, you do not need an employment letter to get...

I am currently 27 wk into my pregnancy. I emailed CPP O to advise that I am expecting and that I will not proceed with my medical till after the baby is born. Just received an email from CPP Ottawa. They asked me to submit a signed Declaration of Common Law (as I applied as single). The email...

It's always good to have a few extra days as a buffer. When was your convocation? The reason I am asking is that I remember reading on this form where someone got rejected because the only working hours that counts towards experience is the ones after the convocation.

I would like to wait to get married till my PR arrives; however, this may not be an option any more. I am expecting and just phoned embassy as I would like to register my child both in Canada and my country. It appears as though my country does not recognize common-law and my child will be...

I am actually interested in this thread. I applied as single (medical is still pending) and expecting my first child. My bf would like to get married asap but I'm not sure if it's the best move (or should wait till I become PR). My bf is Canadian national; would this be the same process as...

hi Andy, If you were to marry to a Canadian National, would it be the same process? Thanks, in advance.

Thanks everyone for the info. I emailed to CPP Ottawa and received the following response: This email address is intended for case specific enquiries only. For general enquiries, please consult our Website<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp>. We have received your email sent to the Case...

Hi Natinthehat, email would be: OttPilot-Immigration @ cic.gc.ca ?? thanks,

Thanks for the info. I am planning to give birth before becoming a PR as I will not be able to proceed with medical (X-ray portion of it). I plan on waiting to go through the X-ray till I delivery my child. So in this case, I will advise the CIC after the fact? I will try calling CIC all...

hi there, I posted this question in one of the thread but did not get much response. I am a Jan 2013 applicant and I applied as single. My bf of 5yrs (Canadian National) and I moved in March 2013, and now I am 14wk pregnant. I believe in Canada, when you have a child with your partner, you...

Hi there, I am in the same situation here. I filed CEC in Jan 2013. I filed as single but my boyfriend (Canadian national) of 5 yrs and I decided to move in together in March 2013. At this time, I didn't think I have to inform CIC as I believe common-law is defined by 12 months of living...

Hi, The agent (I live in Ontario) said that if the case type of my WP shows 27 (BOWP falls under case type 27), I can apply for OHIP without a job offer. Look under eligibility; it should say: you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration...

I had a PGWP for 1.3 years because of my passport expiry. After renewing my passport, I applied for an extension of PGWP, and got the remaining years. So yes, you have to reapply for PGWP if you want the remaining years.

Oh cool, then you can explain that to the officer if you get questioned.
