Hybrid offence is an offence can be tried summarily or by indictment. For Canadian immigration law purposes hybrid offences are considered indicative. Impaired driving conviction makes you inadmissible to Canada. You can apply for a inadmissibility exception under H&C - best interest of a...

Just got off the phone with CIC (it's 18 months today for me): - there was an unspecified activity on my application about 2 months ago, so no escalation is necessary (you can get it past 18 months if there was no activity on your application in many months) - call again around end of April if...

After that post I promised to post an update after my call, so here it is: Background: Today it's 18 months since CIC has received my application. I'm not 2nd review, no updates since MR/NOA request/spouse questionnaire in early February 2015. The call: - application is in progress and is...

Apply for a new BOWP (you can do it 4 months before the old one expires) and add SOWP (spousal open work permit) to it - you can send both at the same time.

Correct. My due date is over 4 months ago (and I'm not even 2nd review - recommended pass)

Implied status is a valid status, so the experience gained on it count, but implied status extends the conditions and limitations of the previous work permit. So the real question is: does experience on co-op permit past graduation count

You can pay for it at the border, but it's more $255 total right now if I remember correctly. Also you can't extend BOWP at the border.

Well, I wonder how effective that is - 18 months for me will be this Wednesday and I intend to give them a call then.

The 4 year limit does not apply to BOWP - you can get as many as you need.

Medical is only needed for a handful of occupations - most people don't need it.

See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp for PNC there is an extra condition

In that case you were either on a study permit or implied status between study permit and PGWP and implied status maintains the conditions and restrictions of your previous work permit. Which unfortunately means that until you got PGWP study permit restrictions applied to you and experience...

What was your status / wp type when you were waiting for it to be approved?

Re: Anyone counted work experience gained while waiting for PGWP for CEC!! It does. See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp

If the relationship ends before PR is issued common law partner will not get the PR. As for not living together.. you will most likely no longer meet the definition of common-law

It's a general rule, not just for BOWP: If you apply for visa/work permit extension before the old one expires and visa/wp expires before a decision is made you are put on implied status. Implied status has the same restrictions as whatever you are extending (so if you're extending a closed...

If the only difference is hand written vs printed then they'll just stamp it. I was wondering it the difference goes beyond that, but I quickly googled it and it seems no Indian passports (except diplomatic ones) are biometric, so there is no difference that would matter to CIC. Don't worry -...

If the old passport doesn't have biometric information (and the new type does) they might send you a request to have your fingerprints taken by RCMP, but in general this will not be a problem.

1. No 2. No, just update your address in the application 3. No, but I'd remove them (or their lawyer) as representative just to be safe http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/representative.asp
