Congratulations!!! That is great news. You are correct. Covid might make things take a bit longer. I just renewed my work permits and it took a little over a month. So that is working as usual. I also applied for a visa being inland and it shows about 5-6 months. Not sure if that would be the...

The main challenge is to get a job offer from an employer. Once that is done the LMIA, Work Permit and stamping should take about 5 months or so. Thanks, Rajat

Unfortunately, No one can tell that besides IRCC. They are definitely prioritizing inland cases due to Covid travel restrictions. If this changes your file might move faster. For the inland cases the time from getting AOR to PR is generally around 4-6 months. So I am guessing once your file is...

Dear Friends, I applied for Federal Process on Dec 30, 2020 and got the XEP on Jan 11, 2021. The address on the XEP is my current Canadian address that was filled out in the application as well. However the UCI is not the regular 10 digit UCI I filled out in the application. It begins with...

The quoted SLA from the ministry is 3 months. I have seen it get done as quickly as one month as well. I would think that pandemic would slow it down a bit. If you do not hear back by the end of month 4, you can ask your employer to follow up. Do note that your employer is the applicant and all...

I used Linkedin and Indeed to find jobs. I applied extensively all across Canada and was very flexible on Salary. My starting Salary was around 60% of what I used to make in USA. It all comes down to what ones priorities are and how seriously someone is considering the move. I would agree it is...

Hello a_ch_, Please refer to this Guide. It mentions: Note: This barcode page will not appear if you fill out your application by hand. Note: Completing the form electronically is easier and reduces the risk of errors that can slow down the application process. So I believe that barcodes...

Hey nrmr82, Where do you get updates of the latest AORs? Are those real AORs or XEP AORs (merely acknowledgement of receipt). Since there were not as many CSQs issued in 2020 overall it might be quicker to get through related PR applications. However they are issuing express entry invites like...

Congratulations nrmr82. Wish you all the best for your federal stage.

Thanks Jo123456, It helps to know that. That means hopefully they would be able to send AOR for end of 2020 applications by end of 2021.

Is there any visibility regarding PR applications being processed based on application date. So if we know that currently they are processing applications from Dec 2019 then we know it would be a while before they pick up application from late 2020 and so on. I looked at several IRCC program...

Hey hoseinbaradaran, For every item that is in checklist you can send a Letter of Explanation if you cannot supply the original item requested. You may also supply documents in lieu of the original along with your letter of explanation. Depending on your letter, reason mentioned therein and...

The temporary AOR (one with XEP number) is sent to the provided email id in about a couple of weeks of getting the application. It is just an acknowledgment of receiving the package and verifying payment and signatures. The XEP number is not really useful for any intents and purposes. Lookout...

Congrats am13470. I hope things go well for you and us all in the new year. - Rajat

Thanks for explaining noc. It makes sense. However I still think that having received an invite you are past the stage of worrying about points. As long as you can provide supporting documents for the information you provided in Arrima the safest thing to do would be to put in same information...

Hello noc173, Congrats on getting the invite. The invite has been extended to you based on the information you provided in Arrima. Your point score that was calculated based on the information in Arrima was deemed sufficient to extend you an invite. If nothing has changed significantly...

Some countries issue a national id to citizens and residents that can be used to pull up their records. It is like a key to all the information about the individual. In US it is SSN and in Canada it is SIN. So if your country has a key number for tracking all info about an individual you should...

Here are all the possible abbreviations you might come across CEC - Canadian Experience Class AOR - Acknowledgment of Receipt MR - Medical request RPRF - Right of permanent residence fee PPR - Passport request COPR - Confirmation of permanent residence Counterfoil - Visa attached to passports...

Just for reference if it helps. One of my colleagues sent their PR application in Jan 2020 and received an AOR in November 2020. There was nothing in between. He got his CSQ under PEQ. One possibility could be that the applications that are in queue are being sent AOR when they are picked up...

Hi All, Quebec generally accepts about 20,000 Economic Immigrants which mainly come from Skilled worker category. Since the start of Arrima in July 2019 a total of 2700 invitations have been issued. So given that 2020 went for a toss, is it reasonable to assume that we might see some speed...
