    AOR in OCTOBER 2016 POOL

    I read somewhere that there's two background checks so maybe one just passed?

    AOR in OCTOBER 2016 POOL

    So once medicals passed and background check turned to "in progress" we shouldn't receive any notifications for a while if everything is going smoothly (no need for additional docs or sth) and after this background check we should receive passport request, right?

    AOR in OCTOBER 2016 POOL

    Yes, could you please explain those abbreviations and what do they mean? What's the difference between AOR and APR? Btw, I added myself to the spreadsheet as well.

    Express Entry ITA stage - inputting details in Personal History section

    Ahhh... You're right. There's a small gap which I didn't notice. At first I was blaming wrongly working validation because today CIC website is super unstable as I had to relogin like 50 times already..

    Express Entry ITA stage - inputting details in Personal History section

    I'm stuck on this personal activities page as well. I covered everything from my 18th birthday (and even before that), but I still get a validation error. Do my records have to me entered in chronological order? May it be a problem? Or maybe is there a problem because I was working and studying...

    Work permit extension with support letter from BC PNP

    I just want to update this thread in case if someone else will be in the same situation as I am. I managed to get through CIC phone help line and agent added a comment to my paper based work permit extension application about my nomination and my contacts and he said he's unsure that it'll...

    Work permit extension with support letter from BC PNP

    Any suggestions? My nomination doesn't have any employment restrictions so that means that I can get open work permit. Did anyone try to "update" paper based application with supporting documents? What would happen if I try to link my paper application to my only mycic account? Will I be able...

    Flagpoling while on implied status

    I think you're right. I won't risk flagpoling. I just started questionnaire online for work permit extension and I was told, that my permit expired and I have to pay $200 status restoration fee and $155 for work permit. Then I read more about status restoration and they say that I have to STOP...

    Hello, My IEC Young Professionals visa expired last month and before that I submitted my application by paper for worker permit extension (same employer, open work permit). So that means I'm on implied status right now. Yesterday I was nominated by BC PNP and got work permit support letter...

    Good idea about visiting office! I'm going there now! Thanks! EDIT: Spoke with PNP officer in person. Unfortunately they cannot accelerate the application. The officer suggested me to apply for a work permit extension by regular mail in order to buy some time and be under implied status until...

    Got it, thank you for explanation. What is the right channel to communicate with them? Phone or email? I've tried calling, but just ended up fighting with robots and answering machines. I just sent them an email asking to accelerate my PNP application and make a decision on it ASAP. Hope they...

    Login here https://www.pnpapplication.gov.bc.ca/user/sign-in and you'll see what documents you have to upload. Btw, I have a couple questions as well. In BC PNP FAQ is written: What does "been nominated" mean? Am I nominated when I got ITA OR am I nominated when I submit my application OR...

    BC PNP 2016 applicants join here!!!!

    But I heard that it will take up to two months until they approve my application. Is it even worth for me to apply since my work permit is expiring in 3 weeks and I read somewhere that you cannot get a nomination if you're out of status in Canada. Is that right? Btw, recently I've applied for a...

    IEC Visa Expiring in less than 30 days

    Sorry to poke you again but what did you mean by saying "in practice"? Are you actually working at CIC and processing such applications? I'm just on the fence right now trying to decide whether to risk submitting a complete application and hope to be refused or do not submit it. Because from...

    Work Permit Extension

    Well I'm not sure about CELPIP. In IELTS I score ~8 out of 9 in reading, listening and writing and I get ~6 in speaking part which draws my points down significantly. I already have all documents ready (IELTS, ECA, proof of foreign work experience, except medical exam). So I'm almost fully...
