I don't think there is a problem, having your nomination being processed by the province while you pursue the federal stream of economic immigration via Express Entry. The problem comes with the step after. You can not have 2 applications with the federal government for permanent residency at...

Hey, Yes the CoPR and your visa have an expiry date. Which means you need to land in Canada before the expiry of both. There are 2 ways to do the landing if you reside in Canada. 1- Re-enter Canada via a border crossing that does immigration (Here's a list of all of them...

The nomination certificate that you got, was it through the foreign worker with job offer stream or was it via the human capital priorities stream? Any job offer stream is not an Express Entry stream which means you have to submit a paper based PR application that takes 15 months. You do not...

I got an email about 24 hours after my application was approved. The email only mentioned that my application was updated. You don't get an actual message on MyCIC saying that your application is approved.

I have a Yemeni Passport, and I would much rather not deal with US border agents. Also I reside in Northern ON, so I would prefer an actual appointment so I don't get any delays or hassle. I've waited 8.5 years to get my permanent residency, I can wait another month. :)

You don't need to scan any permits. I personally had 3 study permits, 2 Co-op Work permits, 1 off-campus work permit and 1 post graduate work permit. I did not scan or upload any of them since they didn't ask for them. My application is approved. They already have access to all of that...

Most XpressPost packages requires a signature, and you can see the name and signature of the person who received the package if you track the package here: https://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/track/personal/findByTrackNumber?execution=e1s1

Use the DCN. That's what I used and my application is approved.

I personally happened to check my account and noticed it was approved. With that being said I received an email 24 hours later saying that my application has been updated. There is no message in MyCIC saying that your application is approved.

I am of Yemeni Nationality. There is no communication when they send the passport. Although it's safe to assume that they send out the passport within 24 hours of your application status changing to Approved on MyCIC. For me I noticed that my application was approved around noon and my...

I did call the CIC call center yesterday to schedule an appointment and I am waiting for the nearest office, in Etobicoke, to contact me with a date and time. The only reason I prefer flagpoling is that I can do it sooner and at my own discretion and time. The Etobicoke office is still a 10...

Do you actually enter the US to flagpole? My understanding is that you leave the Canadian side, simply tell the US side that you are flagpoling and they just send you back with a piece of paper. Do they actually review your documents? Ask for your passport/travel document? I just confirmed with...

You see that's the thing. If I was flagpoling at Rainbow bridge or Niagara I wouldn't be concerned, but how many people flagpole at the Pigeon River crossing? Ahaha if living in the North taught me anything, is that government officials here don't know much about immigration and how to deal...

I live in the middle of no where Northern ON. I expect to get my passport back today or tomorrow along with my CoPR. The closest border crossing is 6.5 hours of a drive away from where I live (I'm planning on going to Thunderbay to do it). I'm thinking of making it a road trip on Saturday and...

Man that's rough! I really don't want to derail from the original topic. I hope you hear back soon! This is very unfortunate. :(

@lifein360 I am literally in a the exact same boat. I applied for my PGWP in May 2015 and started working like literally the next day. It was the same time you are talking about the delays with PGWP so I had 4 months of experience under implied status (I got my PGWP in October). I claimed those...

Que Em, Are you actually still waiting to hear back in regards to your EE application? 17 months in?

Hey, I've had an EE profile since December of 2015. I only got my ITA a year later on December 2016. I submitted my application in January 2017, but I decided to order my GCMS notes on February 2017. All the changes you make on your profile are kinda logged. The reason I say kinda logged...
