It's funny that SOWP almost always arrives a few days before the PR application is approved. We were driving to Service Canada to issue the SIN number using the SOWP when IRCC sent the eCOPR. We printed it, continued to Canada Service, and instead of returning home with a temporary SIN that...

Update .. my wife received eCOPR two days after submitting her residency confirmation on the portal. Wish everyone a speedy and swift process from now on.

I understand the confusion. Submitting the application outland is a choice, and it doesn't mean more than that. We submitted outland and yet provided proof of relation, the same residence, and financial ties, all from Canada. We provided a tenancy agreement, joint account, extended health...

If I were you, I would reset my password and log in to check if the confirmation of PR has been initiated. Good luck

My wife and I married in Canada only. She is from the Philippines. One of the requirements we had to send to IRCC was either a Filipino marriage certificate or a CENOMAR, along with our Canadian-issued marriage certificate. So, no. You cannot marry your Canadian GF while still legally married in...

I wonder if the following would work for people who believe the P2 email was sent but never received. This method assumes the VO already created an account for the PA on the PR portal using the email address they provided. Go to PR Portal at https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login Click...

Almost all forum members will tell you you shouldn't apply for SOWP when your application is Outland, and you have not come to Canada yet. The logic behind that is that when SOWP was first introduced, it was only available for inland applications. This changed, and IRCC made it available to...

It would take a good TRV application to get this approved. If you establish that she is coming temporarily for a visit, I don't see a reason for it to be denied. Well-constructed explanation letters from the mother, the father, and you will help. Make sure that these three letters tell the...

If you send your application now, you can apply for Inland or Outland. It wouldn't make a lot of difference in processing time. My wife applied for Outland in December 2023 and got approved in August. We also made two mistakes in the application that I'm sure resulted in at least two months of...

I hope you are still checking this forum or that someone else knows the answer. What happened next? Have you received a copy of the work permit? My wife's work permit was approved after her family sponsorship application was approved, but I'm just curious as to what would happen next. I...

I just wanted to thank you for sharing the solution.

We got our P1 today and have already replied. Since it's only for the principal applicant, I didn't need a lot of time to reply and cross-check the information to avoid any issues in the future. Montreal VO

My wife applied for SOWP on May 09. Our 101-days is approaching soon and she cannot wait to work. She now cares less for the PR application and focused on getting her OWP. Her PR application is progressing slowly but moving forward. I hope you are getting yours very soon.

UPDATE: We made the naive mistake of sending a National Police Clearance instead of an NBI Clearance. I didn't know there were two types of police clearance in the Philippines. My wife left for Winnipeg two days ago where there is no consulate. Here is what we are doing now: She obtained NBI...

Hello, Anyone knows how to get temporary emergency health coverage for someone visiting Canada on TRV after 30 days have already passed since they entered? Any insights will be appreciated.

Found out why our visa office is asking for the police clearance although we submitted a valid one. This applies to the Philippines. IRCC required an NBI clearance. I thought what my wife got while she was in the Philippines is actually the NBI clearance. I found out now that what we sent was a...

Two points: The clearance we submitted was newly issued and the IRCC clearly states that any police clearance certificate should be valid within 6 months and not for 6 months. When it was received on March 9 it was valid within six months of submission and that is still the case until now...

Just in case you arrived on this thread and are willing to give advice. Here is a quick recap: We sent the NBI Police Clearance on Feb 9, 2024. The police clearance was issued on Jan 29, 2024, and expires on July 29, 2024. IRCC received the document on Feb 13. We have a Cana Post confirmation...

I have one more question as I process this. Our visa office is in Manila. Would you recommend emailing the Canadian Embassy in Manila for clarification? Shall I upload the still-valid police clearance that I previously submitted through the GCKEY portal? Thanks.

Oh. Just looking at the clearance we sent, it’s valid until July 29.
