ugh, still waiting on my BC to get STARTED!! sent everything upfront and haven't heard anything since Ottawa started processing mine on October 20th. slightlyyyyyyyy irritated ???

same here!!! now only if it would actually be in process!!!!!!!

You might also want to look at the SWAP visa(this gives you an open work permit for 1 year). That's what I'm on right now as my outland sponsorship app is in process(there is no way, I would be able to live with my husband in Canada while this is in process without working). I applied for it and...

I'm convinced my officer has been on vacation for weeks now :P However, the work permit department is on the ball! I got my work permit, just a week and a day after submitting it! (i applied through the IEC program again, since PR is taking a bit longer than hoped for!)

Looks like the holidays have really slowed everyone down...any updates? Still waiting on background check in process here... :/

That's amazing news, congrats!!!! Yeah, it's super frustrating knowing I have an extremely straightforward case and seeing people getting approved or even background check started before me, all because I simply have a lazy officer.

Not sure how helpful this is but when I came here on a WH visa, I had proof of my own insurance but never had to show it to anybody. When I first was signing up for the WH visa(before getting the invite) I had to provide an insurance policy number but other than that, they asked for nothing. I...

Still no background check for me :( really hoping this week!!! My other visa is moving along quite nicely though, so it looks like I'll be able to stay in Canada and continue working afterall even if this one doesn't come through immediately!! woohoo!!

Hi, pretty positive Ottawa does not do AOR2 emails. I haven't seen anyone on here get one yet. After SA approval, on ECAS it will say under the PA that your application is in process after xxx date. I believe that is what everyone everyone uses as their "AOR2".

I'm in the same boat. I'm currently here on an IEC visa as well that expires at the end of December. My job wants to keep me but they also aren't willing to do the LMIA. Currently waiting on invites to go out (which I heard is next week for working holiday visa, not sure which country you're...

That's awesome news!!!! I wish everyone knew about this forum so we could have all the info on our spreadsheet!!!

I'm sure they would've had to have been in a real sour mood to actually deny you entry. Your PR card is your "right" to be in Canada and since you didn't have it yet, your CoPR is your "right", for land crossing. You're supposed to apply for a permanent record travel document, for any commercial...

You're allowed to land cross with just your passport and COPR, but any commercial traveling, must be done with a PR card(including if you're land crossing by a commercial bus). Very surprised they let you board the plane with no issues, lucky you!!

Mine has been in process since October 20th and nothing so far. Definitely depends on your VO when you'll see any movement!

Yeah, I really need to stop. I just cant help it!!! I was doing really good until I started noticing everyone who submitted after me as gotten background check in process. It's driving me insane that mine hasn't started yet!!!

Yes, it read 'passed' as soon as I was able to link my app to it back in early Sept :/

AHHH congrats!!!!!!!! Just checked mine(for the 3rd time today) and still nothing on my side :(

OMGSH!!!! so fast!!!! yes, please provide your timeline and any other details!!

I have no idea! I never really thought about it to be honest. I know you're supposed to update them with anything that changes, so I will definitely update whatever info I can on the website. I doubt you would have to apply for a different one since it's based on your citizenship and not your...

Thanks so much!! Yeah, I'm hoping I can just get away with coming as a vistor again after Christmas (given I don't get either visa by then), but I'll bring proof that I've applied for both and so ties to America. Thankfully, I have a Nexus pass so I really don't get a lot of questions anyways :)...
