Hello guys, Is there any thread discussing how long it takes after I applied for my Federal Express Entry ? (I already received Invitation to Apply - selected in the pool- and I applied) I applied on January 20th 2016 , but haven't received any response back yet. Any idea how long it usually...

Hello all, On March 21st, I received a message on CIC website saying that I need to send my passport to CIC within 30 days to receive my visa stamped in the passport. I did so and sent my passport to the following address : CPP - Ottawa (e-Application) PO Box 9640 Ottawa, ON, K1G 6T2 But...

Hi, I have a valid study permit but my (Canadian) visa expires when I want to return back to the US. Is it possible that I go the US and return back to Canada only by having a valid study permit ? Thanks

Hi, I applied for a Study permit and got it about 1.5 months ago. I was on a spousal open work permit and it's still valid until April 2016. I also have a TRV associated with that permit. 1.When I got my study permit, I didn't receive any letter saying that I need to mail my passport so CIC...

Thanks for providing the information. 1.I'm filling out the form, and the section "Duration of Expected Employment" has two fields to fill in : From / To. I started my job in 2015. But the 'From' field only accepts a date in future. 2.There's a section at the top of the form : "I am...

Thanks for the info. I started another application and now I see 255$ for the application fee. For PR, I applied for express entry. Do you know how long usually it takes to receive the AOR ?

Ok , you mean if we have 2 separate applications (one BOWP and one SOWP) then we have to pay 155 + 100. I thought you say under ONE application I have to pay 255$. And is it counted as "Work permit" or "Work permit for new employer" or "Work permit for the same employer" Well, I'm going...

Hi Gregor, Thanks for the reply. Reading your answer, a few question came to my mind : 1.Why is it 100 + 155 ? I don't have any problem with paying this amount but what I have right now in my CIC profile shows only 100 dollars. 2.Why are you suggesting that I apply for the SOWP with a...

Hello, I received my Invitation to Apply for express entry and already submitted my documents. I'm waiting for the decision to be made. (It's me and my wife in the application) My wife has a study permit and just started her program a week ago. I have a post graduate open work permit which...

Thanks for the replies. Can I do the fingerprints here in Canada ? (I'm in Vancouver) In the FBI application form requires last 4 digits of my Social Security Number (which is US-specific). What should I do with that ? Doesn't it mean it's for someone who actually LIVED in the states ?

Hello, In 2013 I spent about 5 and a half months in the US traveling around the country. Now that I applied for my PR (express entry - federal step) my lawyer said that they may tell me to give them a FBI police certificate as I spent about 6 months in the US (though it was not 6 months , it's...

A friend of mine told me to bring his expired passport to Canada (from abroad). Is it illegal to carry someone else'e passport with myself ? What if it is not expired and still valid ? Another friend of mine applied for his German visa at Germany's embassy in Canada and the background check...

Ok , I correct myself. According to the link : "A BOWP can be issued only if the e‑APR has passed the R10 completeness check." So, basically you mean R10 happens after 3 months ?

Thanks. I already read that , but my question is: 1.For the Express Entry, after receiving the e-APR, if I apply for bridging work permit, is it going to be Open ? 2.How long after applying online, I will receive the e-APR ? thanks

Hello everyone, I received ITA and I'm applying for Express entry under Federal Skill Worker, I'm on a Post Graduate Work Permit and it expires in April and I want to extend it. Now my question is : 1.Can I extend my open work permit after applying for the express entry with a proof...

Hi , My parents got visiting visa about 2-3 years ago , and now they decided to come to Canada. Do I need to do anything ? they didn't visit Canada yet and its their first time. It's still valid and it's a multiple entry visa.

I will have it by then , but a friend told me that my application was freezed when I received the invitation and even though I have 1 year of work experience when the officer opens the application , they may still reject it because at the time it was freezed I didn't have the work experience. Is...

Hi everyone, 2 months ago there has been an increase on my score. CIC actually increased my score 2 months before I complete 1 year of work experience here in Canada. I think it's because they counted the HOURS (as I work 40 hours per week, I hit the required number of hours in 10 months)...

Any idea guys ? I really need help with this one . If I apply for a study permit while I'm on a spousal open work permit, how long does it take ? is it falls under "Study Permit Extension" ?

No, I'm in Canada. I'm on a spousal open work permit and I applied for a Study permit.
