Thanks a lot, I think we are in the same situation but you have a bit more time so hopefully if you submit the PR soon the AOR may come in time for the BWOP. Will check back to hear what your lawyers said, good luck!

I got my posts removed twice, they only contained legit IRCC website links. Would you suggest I remove the links? I see so many other older random spamming bot threads that are still up...

Closed work permit expiring soon (with no extension) - applied for PR but no AOR yet (got CSQ), what to do? Lived and worked in QC since 2017 with repeated 2 year long temporary work permits (as highly skilled worker, researcher at university). CSQ received end of October 2024 (PEQ through...

bumping this as I am in the same situation and haven't found any answers in the quebec section. I tried to post a new thread too but it was never approved (??) thanks!

Hi, I am in the same situation as you but with an even tighter timeline (thanks to the Canada Post strike), and I have the same doubt. I think we are sort of trapped in a limbo, where if the work permit expires before receiving AOR we are not eligible to apply for the BOWP, even with CSQ...

As title says: Closed work permit expires while waiting for RP (no AOR yet, got CSQ), what to do? Lived and worked in QC since 2017 with repeated 2 year long temporary work permits (as highly skilled worker, researcher at university). CSQ received end of October 2024 (PEQ through Quebec...

Anyone has any leads on this? I am about to apply but I don't see anywhere where I can select that I qualify for the 2 weeks GSS processing.

Hi all, I am applying for a GSS 2 weeks processing, but I am having the following issue. When I first log into the govt site I have to go through a questionnaire to get the personal reference code. I go through the answers, selecting that I am applying from outside canada, to work more than 6...

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately I work at the university and it does not cover anything in terms of health insurance. I was looking at the private health insurances but it's never clear on their home pages if their plans also apply to someone who does not have drug coverage with RAMQ. If...

Hi all, I am working in QC with a closed work permit as temporary foreign worker. I will need prescription drugs and physiotherapy, which are not covered by the RAMQ. I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth taking out a private health insurance and in that case, which one. It's hard to...

Thanks,once the RAMQ kicks in I am planning to get additional private insurance for these therapies. So I was wondering what the equivalent for that in the 3 months waiting period, if anything. Unfortunately my employer (UQAM university) doesn't cover anything.

Hello, I'll need a 3 months visitor health insurance in QC as I am arriving as a temporary worker. Everyone needs to get a private insurance before the RAMQ kicks in 3 months later. This usually covers just emergency health care. I have a pre existing condition requiring...

Hello, I am moving to QC and I'll need a health insurance covering physiotherapy and psychotherapy. Do I understand right that RAMQ doesn't cover any of that? I see conflicting information about physio. RAMQ site states it does, bur private health insurance companies state RAMQ doesn't. Does...

Hi, I have applied for a visa through the GSS and have received my letter 10 days ago. Since I am currently in Canada (even tho the visa is processed outside Canada as usual), the visa will be mailed to my place. Any idea how long that takes? I need to leave soon and I'd rather have the visa in...

Hello, anyone has any experience with this? It's been 10 days and I haven't received the visa yet. Thanks

Hi all, I just received my letter of introduction, so the next step is that I will receive the work visa at my place in Canada. Mine is a new visa, not an extension. Any idea of how long this may take? I heard from someone else for a work permit extension took a week. If you can share your wait...

Updates on this: I talked to immigration, they as always cannot guarantee that I would be allowed back in once approved, but there shouldn't be any problem after receiving the visa letter. They also said I would just have to change the address in my application, but the person I talked to...

Hi all, I applied for the GSS within Canada (due to the pandemic situation I couldn't leave, but they told me it was going to be processed as if applied from outside Canada). I emailed to ask about my timeline (it's almost two months since my application) and here was the reply: "Your...

Thanks both for your reply, I imagined that was the case but I thought I'd give it a shot as I'm unemployed due to visa delays caused by the pandemic, and my own country government doesn't provide benefits for my situation.

Hello, I applied for a temporary work permit through the Global Skills Strategy. Originally I was supposed to apply from outside Canada (leave for a couple of weeks, apply, come back), but due to the pandemic limitations to travel I was told to apply from inside when this option was available...
