    Yes, it was actually very good I posted it here because this whole time I thought it gave you maintained status (which made more sense tbh). Gladly, I have applied for OWP so I have it. Ty

    Thank you for the information @Master5678. Here's the link I based my comment on https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/implied-status-extending-stay.html. In this case @Grey grey...

    If you received the AOR, that means your PR application is being processed, which means that you have maintained status (it was formerly known as implied status). Essentially, since your PR is being processed, even if your temporary visa expires, you have kept your legal status in Canada until...

    So I had a medical exam done in the past 5 years so mine already has the completed status. But my understanding is that if you need the upfront medical exam you have to contact a panel doctor independently and say you need an upfront medical exam. Then they'll perform a standard exam. I'm not...

    Seems like you got a great answer already. I just want to add that I did try to expedite the marriage certificate (paid the fee and everything), they told me there were no guarantees they'd expedite it at all. In the end, it took them 10 weeks to register and 2 more weeks to arrive on the mail...

    I ended up submitting the form Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257). Even though it didn't seem to make sense and it was optional, I figure it would be best to submit it rather than risking it. And as others have said, you have to select "temporarily more...

    I got an email with a PDF attached with the biometric instructions. The status in the tracker is "in progress". I didn't check the tracker before receiving the email so I wouldn't know if it was updated before. Make sure you checked your spam messages. If not, it should be arriving soon

    Hi everyone, received the biometrics instruction letter today. FYI It seems that even if you submitted biometrics less than 10 years ago, you still need to submit it for PR application (not the case for work permit tho)...

    I'm aware, my question is about about the form Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257). Not sure if I submit this or not

    Hi guys, Im getting a bit frustrated with the website to apply for the Open Work Permit. I go to onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca , I'm logged in etc and then I have to answer a questionnaire that is supposed to give me the correct OWP checklist for inland spouse. My problem is with...

    I don't think you can, because once you go to your appointment to the panel doctor, they ask to see the official medical exam request document

    Application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident

    Thanks for answering. One point however, it does say "the letter is not a permit allowing you to remain in Canada." This is the confusing part. What is then? Is it the document I'm supposed to receive via mail?

    Application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident

    I applied to extend my stay in Canada under a temporary visa. I'm married to a Canadian citizen and we'll apply for my PR, but we're still waiting for the marriage certificate (unfortunately, it seems they're not able to process it faster despite our efforts). So my doubts began when I received...
