Just read that there still are July applicants waiting. And of course CIC doesn't give any answers. I applied for a just a 4 months extension, all I needed was to be able to apply for PR after I finish 2 years of my live-in caregiver program. My employer agreed for only 4 months extra. Now if...

It must have been a glitch or just negligence. The processing times for the old program are 47 months, I checked today.

If you receive your work permit extension AND your visa extension (you need that extended too!) before you are leaving - should not be a problem. If your WP and a visa have expired and you still have not received the extension - you are on the implied status and you can't leave Canada and come...

CIC has such a wonderful sense of humor and such a caring attitude! Lol

I'm really curious how they are going to achieve such an improvement. What are they going to do with te backlog they said they had. I hope it's not an empty promise...

Please excuse my language, but are they f***ing sick over there? So the processing times are calculated starting from the moment they start working on your application, and that very moment might come in 5 months or even more? And that time wasn't included?! Is that what they said? What kind of...

Thank you, you are very supportive and inspiring!

I understand you. I can't count how many times I felt the same way. And I'm waiting for the decision too, things are slowly but surely getting screwed for me as well. But after all it is all about priorities. And you are right, sometimes you have to think what's more important. There's no doubt...

I will in a month. Let me know if you want to keep in touch and share info!

On December 26th I made a screenshot of CIC processing times table. On that day it said "now working on applications submitted on September 3". I have that screenshot. In a couple of days they went back to August 12. This isn't the first time I noticed that, but this time I was able to capture...

Here, look at this http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/work-permit-extension-august-and-sept-applicants-t386672.0.html;msg4875984#msg4875984

I applied online for work work permit extension with the same employer on September 4, no news ever since. There is a thread on this forum about August/September applications. There I read that someone who applied in August has got their extension recently. On CIC web site it says they are...

Thank you. Just called CIC again. This time they said I can apply at the same time, just like you said. I'm thinking of calling again and just recording the conversation so that I have some sort of a proof in case.

Do you also want to try the new pathway?

Funsho Heritage, thank you so much for your time and kindness! I really appreciate you helping!!! I did read your posts and here is what is really confusing to me. The CIC agent specifically told me (and he emphasized the importance of this info) that under the new pathway I am NOT eligible for...

Thank you for all who replied. I called CIC. It turns out I can't apply under the new rules, this is something I haven;t even thought could be a problem. It's my fault, I should've found out earlier but as I said - I could not think this could be an issue. Here's why: It turns out that I...

I'm very disappointed. I wanted to apply under the new caring for children pathway and I took all steps for it. IELTS, medical, education evaluation. And then it turns out that I can't apply for an open work permit with my PR application if I want to go under the new rules. My employer doesn't...

Did you apply online or on paper?

When I realized that I most likely will end up on the implied status, I went to Service Canada Office and asked what was going to happen to my SIN once I'm on the implied status. They said nothing would happen. They said my SIN would still be good for employment and taxes. I don't understand why...

Anybody else tried the new pathway? I'm a live in caregiver (care for kids) and I am going to apply for PR in February 2016. I'm a single applicant. I am tempted to apply under the new pathway as they promise that the process will take only up to 6 months (compare to intimidating 48 months under...
