You need to keep legal status until you receive PR. You can apply for a BOWP for example and keep working, or you can simply apply to maintain/restore your status as visitor. As long as you have legal status in Canada your application should not be impacted. You can also decide to leave the...

You will be on implied status and can continue to work until they reach a decision on your work permit application (even if your PR is not yet issued). If they approve your WP, excellent, if they don't, I believe the only thing you can do is to apply to restore status as a visitor and wait until...

Jorge, Parabéns e boa sorte em Toronto. Ainda estou aguardando, espero que saia em breve o meu PPR. Eddie

I Agree, do not decline. see posts above for links and explanantion. You can now exclude your foreign work experience and recalculate your points, if it is still above the cut off, you're good to go. The rules are clear on this. Only remark is to add this experience under your personal history...

Ola pessoal, Saudacoes de Calgary, AB. Ha tres anos aqui em Work Permit, enviei a documentacao no comeco de Setembro, agora so aguardando. (As datas estao na minha assinatura abaixo). Eduardo

is it my impression or is it being too quiet for September AOR applicants lately ?

If I understand this correctly, she worked for TWO different companies in that period, but the lawyer declared ONLY ONE company ? The points may not change since the overall experience is still one year, but your lawyer knowingly put the wrong information in the system. (likely because he/she is...

Same for me, can access now but only have two lines (also had five lines before)..

This happened to me. I had an earlier post on this asking whether or not I should apply. There were conflicting opinions between respected members of this forum, some say I should decline the ITA, others said I could apply. I even consulted an immigration lawyer (for other reasons but I also...

1 you will pay once you have all documents and are ready to submit your application. Once you click to submit, it will one of the steps. 2 no problem. I submitted and paid everything on the very last day. Of course, leaving to the last minute means you're taking a small risk (eg if the system...

To show CIC the common law relationship, you need to sign a certain form under oath and attach supporting documents. Could be a shared rental agreement or joint bank accounts, etc. Instructions are clear and straight forward on that document (IMM 5409 - Statutory declaration of common law...

I received RCMP request on October 8th, done the fingerprints on the 9th and received it at home last Monday (19th) So 10 calendar days in total. Note there was Thanksgiving holiday on the 12th, so just 5 business days including mailing time.

a couple of weeks ago I attended a presentation from United Way about their programs to support those in need. It is mostly about Calgary, but probably comparable to other major cities (read expensive). - minimum wage here in AB is ~11.20 $/hour. This makes to around 2000$ per month if working...

On the letter it says 60 days, but on MyCic account it seems to be 7 days. I'm guessing this is because they sent the schedule A request at the same time, with a 7 days time. I had a separate thread about this v I'm not too worried though, will upload the sch A today together with a Letter of...

My ecas was also updated last night. Now it has 5 lines, they added "medical received" and "we sent you correspondence on oct 8th..." Last one is referring to schedule A and RCMP request I got last week. Now hoping to receive RCMP soon to get this moving...

Hi, I submitted my application in the end, and responded NO to use of representative as you did. They never asked me for that form. I see that my mailing address is that of the lawyers firm, but I can still access my application and I still receive emails from cic (last week got sch A and...

If you apply for something that you're clearly not eligible (As BOWP before sending a PR application) wouldn't that be considered misrepresentation ? I honestly don't know but would be careful about that. What about just extending you existing WP ( on the same terms ) ?

TRV is for re-entry if you're not from a visa exempt country. That means you'd need one if you leave Canada, even if you have a valid work permit. Your existing TRV may still be valid though, it does not necessarily expire with your WP. Now if your WP expires before you apply for BOWP, then I...

Just re-using an existing (empty) thread to post my question: I've got a schedule A and RCMP request on the same day. I have 7 days to upload the sch A and 60 days to upload RCMP as per respective letters. However, on MyCiC it seems to 7 days for both, which is OK for schedule A but tight for...

Aika, This is a tricky one, you should post in the main forum to get more replies. If you apply for a new WP before the current one expired, you can claim worker status until the date when they made a decision on the new application (even if it was rejected). If this is not the case and If...
