Of course. That's not a problem. It's not like you try to pretend that you are 'visiting a friend' in Canada. You just show them the visa and the work permit.

Sorry to hear that, my friend. I hate this kind of story.

I deem this to be of extremely low risk, so low that I am more worried about the plane crashing or some other force majeure. I am also a risk-averse person. I believe there is an undue amount of worry placed on this particular item especially considering the length of time required for the PR...

I disagree. This is only the case for people in a precarious or fraudulent situation. Leaving the country for a trip does not render your application abandoned. If you have the proper documentation and especially if you have a work permit I don't see what would make you become inadmissible for...

To remain in Canada, yes. To re-enter Canada if you want to go for a trip somewhere, not so. If you are not from a visa-exempt country you will need to apply for a TRV (the stamp in your passport) to re-enter if it is expired. You'll notice the work permit specifically says 'This document does...

You can withdraw if you like.

That's the full package. That medical part is such a rip-off, one last stab before you can soak up some of that free healthcare everyone is always talking about.

That's not true. You can still apply but only with a paper application sent to Vegreville. After you AIP you are able to apply online. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2015-12-11.asp I haven't heard any news about the permit not being released until AIP and there are at...

I called CIC a while ago to ask if they had received the police certificate they requested (same PCC request letter that many of us got). When I asked the agent if they had received my documents, he said said yes, and when I asked what the documents were, he said 'Schedule A'. I told him I...

That job posting was for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program which doesn't deal with Family Class anyway. And if anything, hiring more people to process these types of applications means that they are looking to add more people to the program and thus increase the load on IRCC (where PNP...

Thank you, Spousal PR champion. What would we do without you?

I did a CSE with multiple documents and it didn't seem to be a problem. The PCC request is pretty specific though so if you are sending a paper copy I would recommend to send the PCC on its own an then send the Notice of Assessment electronically via CSE. They don't need a paper copy of the NOA...

Applied together for a mortgage with spouse, who is a Canadian citizen while on a study permit. It did not cause any issues with the downpayment requirement and both our names are on the mortgage and title. I don't know if some kind of residency is required (student permit in our case, but you...

I'm with you cenker. At the end of the day it is a person looking at this application and people are reasonable. I think you are fine. I also am not planning on flying to China to talk to a local police department about a document which I already have. From what I can tell, IRCC already accepted...

Unfortunate letter you dug up there my friend and thanks for posting it here. I still think Vegreville didn't get the memo on PCC validity. "For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country." Mine was...

Great news, this is how I hope my timeline goes as well. Straight to landing? So no SA or AIP? What did your myCIC status say (if you linked the application)

Haha, I gave up on that Check Status a long time ago.

Your timeline is normal so far. It is normal to not hear anything from CIC, which is why you see us continually speculating on everything. Regarding the study permit, if he is almost done his masters and wants to stay in Canada and work you have 2 options in front of you, either apply for a...

The official posted wait time is one thing, but if the real answer is still 16 months then John McCallum is going to have some pretty miserable statistics to report back to us at the end of this 'backlog reduction'. Also, Christmas is overrated anyway, don't stress it.

I used Canada Post, but shouldn't make a difference. Yes, the same Unit 909.
