My understanding is yes. As long as you have already met the requirements for CEC as a PG student, with 1 year approved skill level experience, then it doesn't matter what your status is (student/ worker/ gone back to your country of origin), your file will be processed with no problems.

Hi Guys, I think you'll find my example helpful. I landed on June 28th. My PGWP expired March 17th, week before it expired, I applied for an extension without LMO, knowing it will get rejected, but it'll buy me a few weeks on implied status. Soon enough, I got the rejection, and I stopped...

Congrads lilly! Guys, don't pay too much heed to Ecas, best is just to keep checking when you online envelope comes online. Its been two weeks since I landed, and my ecas still shows In Process.

Hopefully you should receive one before you head over there. I mean it was just the security at the desk being extremely difficult to deal with, I guess its just Americans being Americans. I mean my girlfriend who was going on my behalf, is a Canadian Citizen, how on earth can you prevent a...

Hey Torap, cicdetroit@international.gc.ca - this is the email i sent it to, re-detroit-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca - and this is the email I got a response from. If I were you, I'd just email both of those emails. It took just a day to get a response from Detroit. My response was as...

You have to goto the US border post, which is technically on US soil, and they refuse entry from there, and send you back to Canadian side for the completion of your landing

Hey Torap, congrads! Have a look at my last post in the December forum with regards to driving down to Detroit.

Hey everyone, So I landed on Thursday evening at the Windsor Detroit Borde. Basically drove down from Ottawa, reached Windsor at 8am. My girlfriend crossed the border and went to the consulate to hand in my passport, my document with my height and eye color, 2 photos and the letter authorizing...

You don't need an appointment. Its walking on Tuesday or Thursday between 8:30-11am and usually they tell you to pick it up at 2:30pm same day

The status "Medicals have been received" usually has been appearing 3-4 weeks after they receive it. I would wait till the end of week 3 to send them an email if they've received it, not that I'd be afraid they haven't, but its sort of a nice way to see if you can get an update from them...

I'm not from a visa exempt country so I'm 100% sure about the passport, but I thought every page had to be photocopied.. again could be totally wrong. Nic, to answer your question, as to what we get back, we get a COPR - Copy of Permanent Residence i think, back from Detroit. Then you take that...

Surprised that Detroit responded so fast, I guess I'll answer my own question. Yes we can send a representative on our behalf, we just have to give them a letter indicating we grant them permission, and the representative must show their photo ID as well.

Nope, you could get rejected based on your medical, and also the background, security checks are still either in process, or not started yet.

It really depends on a whole number of factors, anywhere from 1 month sometimes to 3 months for some cases. I guess in my case it was around 5 weeks.

Hi everyone, I've tried combing the site for the answer to my question, but I can't seem to find the thread. Basically, I received my PPR today from Ottawa, to submit my passport to Detroit. I know Detroit offers the in person service on Tuesday and Thursday, and I want to be able to take...

Thanks Lilly!! I was quite surprised to receive the email from Ottawa. I thought the PPR always comes from the visa office that will process your visa. But i got it from Ottawa asking to submit it to Detroit!

Received PPR about 15 mins ago... what a bleedin relief! :o

Aiden, Iam... congrats guys! I'm so envious! I'm just so frustrated right now - I'm afraid the PC request might delay my processing a few weeks, even though I handed it in a week after they requested it, but the thing is i asked the call centre about me needing the PC in my situation back in...

It is also up to the discretion of the VO. In my case i lived in the same country until I was exactly 18 years and 5 months, and then moved to Canada. They requested a PC from me about a month ago, and I even clarified with the VO that I was only in the other country for 5 months since turning...
