    CEC Applications slowing down?

    Nope. I didn't do it in time and now I kind of feel like it's a bit late, considering I'll have to wait for another month or so anyway.

    Help regarding express entry Can some one tell me, where am I now?ITA : 3 April EAPR: 12 may Appli

    Judging by your BG check msg, you seem to be in IP2. My guess is that should everything go well after this stage, you are likely to get the passport request in the upcoming weeks. Check out the links below for more information...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    I'm sorry to hear about the condition of your friend's dad. I hope he gets well soon. Unfortunately, I don't know whether they'd allow her to send the passport overseas. Please look into it very carefully. I'd actually suggest you guys to call CIC to get the first hand information. Yes, they...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    About two weeks: Couple of days for approval, another ~10 days for the round trip of my passport. They had asked me to send it to a visa centre in Ottawa. Times may differ, though. You can check the current times here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/information/times/index.asp

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    Travel visa + letter of introduction are issued by the consulates before the trip. The actual work/study/residence permit is issued inside Canada at the port of entry, (at least in my case). It's still at the discretion of the immigration officer at the border, whether to issue the permit or...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    I don't know why the title is like that but I vaguely remember (though it's been years) I wondered the same thing at the time of my application. At the end, I filled the form called IMM5257E which is the same form in your screenshot. Maybe they don't have a dedicated form for visa application...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    Hey, sorry just seen your updated msg. 1) Your friend already has the PGWP and her current status is Worker so she needs to choose "Work". 2) "I applied for a study or work permit before entering Canada which was approved, but not issued at a port of entry" This statement refers to people who...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    Happy to be able to help. She should answer "Work" because her status in Canada is/will be "Worker". That's what I did anyway :)

    CEC Applications slowing down?

    I thought it was showing up on the link, no problem. I'm Turkish, processing times should be near average according to ImmiTracker although I don't know where my file is. I'm inland. My AOR was on May 30.

    CEC Applications slowing down?

    Good for you, at least you seem to be moving faster than me :) People have been saying that CEC stream slowed down due to high volume of student visa/permit applications in the summer months. I hope that was the case and that we'll catch up with the other streams in the upcoming weeks. *Fingers...

    Traveling abroad while holding only a PGWP?

    No invitation letter should be needed. She already has an immigration status in Canada (i.e. Open Work Permit Holder), she just needs a visa for re-entry. I also got a PGWP after I graduated a couple of years ago. Once I received my permit, I applied for a TRV since I'm also from a...

    CEC Applications slowing down?

    I'm still in IP1. No updates since the day I cleared my medicals exactly a month ago. So, yours is IP2 I believe. How many days has it been since your AOR?
