Gotcha! Okay so around 3 months for BGC to process( at least for you). Just looking for an estimate! Thanks!

And how long ago did BGC start? Also congrats!

Update: Background check started today(June 20th)! December 14th applicant.

NP I help when I can. Well make sure you apply for ETA before you return. And by documents I mean your visitor permit/visa/record and passport

It is not against the rules to leave. where is your home country? Travel Visa exempt? You should be fine if you take your documents with you. If you are going to say the purpose of the trip is an urgent matter then bring proof of that too. I just came from vacation in Hawaii for 10 days. I...

I just returned from Hawaii(I am USA citizen). I was there 10 day . No questions asked. I was with my sponsor but I had extra documents in case. Of course bring your proof of status/ permit.

I could make another post about it so others see but thought I'd share. I just returned into YVR from a trip to Hawaii (I am USA citizen) and customs was easy. It's a system done digitally and you enter how long/reason for Canada(work and visit). I put 180 days so if they ask why that time...

Now we wait for BGC to start. I'm a dec 14th applicant and still havent had BGC star . I havent tried calling IRCC for them to check the system but on ECAS and GCkey its medical passed

I would put down every entry into Canada because it is in the system regardless. That's why they ask for a reason. No matter what, they will crosscheck the info you give them. Why not tell them ahead of what they'll see in the system

You could always submit another OWP app once you receive status that will process in around 3 months. It took me 2.5 months to receive visitor record in the mail after applying. You should have status restored by now? So you could apply for OWP if you'd like to not wait until AIP

Is there not an "add a family member/dependant" to your health coverage now that you have it? Or does the child still need their own document to be able to apply.

It usually takes a few days to a week for the results to be submitted to IRCC, it depends on the physician. Then it will be reviewed by the reviewing officer and hopefully it is a green light. Sometimes there are health complications but it does not mean refusal. Other than that, you wait!

You are allowed to send a paper application if you haven't yet received AIP. It will still take 3-4 months to process but at least you will keep work status with implied status. It must be by paper and follow the instructions online...

What was your reason to be out of the country? Did you travel together? How was the email response?

I am Dec 14th app and have the same info as you guys. I do not believe calling will do anything because they will say it depends on the officer and everyone's file is unique. It's not like you're a month behind everyone

Just pay for it again online and they can refund you afterwards if you request it online

Personally I think it is, to be blunt, stupid to leave for more than 2 weeks. Obviously emergencies that can be proven may be different but why apply for inland at that point. I agree I would not suggest anyone to leave for more than 14 days.

Nothing guarantees reentry, correct? Being Visa-exempt or having one is like phase 1. Phase 2 is obtaining a visitor, work, or study permit. I understand what you're sayin . It would be illogical to be outside of Canada for more than a total of 2 weeks

Happy long weekend to everyone. I wish everyone good news/ progress this coming week!

I am only going 10 days and it's to my country of citizenship, USA. I am going on holiday with my sponsor too which will help
