Glad to help! I believe it's mostly because ECAS doesn't get updated very regularly. So it's possible that a file gets IP and DM, but ECAS is only updated with the new information a week or two later. And if the processing is very straightforward and quick, then PPR may be issued before any sign...

Not entirely true. There's been quite a few people here in the past year who jumped straight to DM or PPR from medicals received.

Actually if you reside in Canada and choose Privacy Act insted of Access to Information Act, you don't need to pay anything. I've done it twice that way already.

I'm not sure if this is relevant information, but I came across something rather interesting.. I found this CIC manual: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op07b-eng.pdf In section 7.3. it says: "When an individual is nominated by a province for selection in the provincial...

I already said this in another thread, but I'll say it again -- Congrats! I'm so happy things worked out well. :)

I'm so happy for you guys!!! Congrats!!

They've been granted PR based on the fact that the province supported their application. The province has supported their application because it was deemed that the person would be a positive contribution to the provincial economy. Even if one has gotten their COPR/PPR request, one does not get...

If I remember correctly, there's a section in one the forms that the employer must fill out (I think it's the Job offer form) where they have to explain what kind of efforts have been made to hire a Canadian. In order to get your PNP approved your employer must show that they haven't been able...

It will go to Ottawa. Although lately some inland PR applications have been processed in Sydney NS. Either way, yours will be processed in Canada and not your home country.

Could someone just confirm how paying the RPRF works, if one hasn't been requested to pay it yet? I'm a June 30 applicant and haven't gotten the request yet, but want to pay it now anyway, so that it's out of the way. I would be paying with a credit card online. Do I need to send a PDF copy...

I applied in Nov 2013 and got my nomination in Feb 2014. So it's been a while. I don't really know anything about Express Entry beyond the snippets I've read from other people here. But I can try to help with what I know if you'd like!

I think the financial documents are only required for LMIA applications. I applied for both BC PNP and LMIA at the same time to cover my bases. For BC PNP, we submitted only the documents listed in the checklist (the one you have), and I got accepted. For LMIA, we submitted all kinds of tax...

I agree. At the border you're at least talking to a live human being, who you can ask questions and explain things on the spot. With a remote case officer you're left at the mercy of their interpretation of what's needed and just. And if they end up rejecting his WP at the border, then he still...

This is ridiculous. I just got a WP extension at the US border this past weekend (BCPNP, PR AOR August 2014). Basically all my documents have expired a long time ago, like my PNP certificate in August 2014 and my PNP support letter was dated February 2014. The officers didn't care at all. An...

Yes, if you get married during PR processing, you can and must add your spouse to the application. This applies even if you don't intend to bring your spouse to Canada when you return. You must tell CIC of all changes in your circumstances, and getting married is a major change. Basically, once...

Your boyfriend shouldn't be in danger of not getting a WP. If the employer wishes to keep him, and he continues to meet the requirements of his nomination, everything should be fine. The main hurdle that the new regulations would be throwing at him, is that his employer would need to submit the...

In addition to all of this, please note that while the Employer Compliance Fee does not apply to open work permits, CIC is also introducing an additional fee to open work permits. So anyone applying for an open work permit will be required to pay $155 processing fee, plus another $100 to...

All of you whose current work permits are about to expire soon, please read the following thread! Ragluf made some very informative posts under the thread but I fear many of you haven't seen them (based on the small number of views that thread has gained)...

Good luck with your flagpoling! Just to add my two cents in case this helps you or anyone else here - I flagpoled this past weekend at Peace Arch (BC) to get my closed WP extended. Details on my PR process on the left. I applied online for a WP in January (processing not started), but chose to...

This sounds pretty shocking to me. For all of those thinking of renewing their permits - based on what's said in this bulletin I would STRONGLY recommend applying for extensions/new WPs right now, before February 21!
