what are you guys' opinion on the current processing time ? is the 12 months posted on the website still reasonable ? I've been browsing through the trackers and some of the older threads (Jan 2020, Dec 2019) and see very few data points, not sure if it's taking longer or people no longer come...

Matt-NL, You have to submit your current passport only. You need to send all pages that are not blank, though I recommend scanning and sending every page, including the blank ones, just to avoid any further problems. You do not need to send old passports unless explicitly requested by them...

Just upload it online when requested. They will open a field to upload on MyCiC when they request it. Keep a copy but they probably will not ask for it. In my case, scanned copy was sufficient

same happens to me, it is your ppr. they have already completed your background check, but not updated the system yet.

Good to know, I wasn't aware of this. However, this is for immigration purposes, so that a work permit is not needed. For tax purposes, you have to check CRA website. If you spend more than 183 days in Canada, you're a deemed resident for tax purposes and you will owe tax, no matter where your...

I am not so sure. I think it matters where the work is being performed. Also, you do not have a work permit, you cannot work while in Canada. They may never find out, but still, I think the rule is where you are located while doing the work. Also, if you're residing in Canada for long enough...

If you can, only do the landing when you're returning from your trip in May. (assuming your COPR visa doesn't expire before them). do the landing upon your return, so no issues. Yes, you will still have to wait for the PR card after that before you can travel again, but at least you make your trip.

I called CIC last week asking for an appointment at the Calgary office, and today got a letter (through MyCiC online) scheduling it for the end of the month (march 31st). Question: Did anyone had any chance rescheduling an appointment with CIC office in Canada ? The time/date they scheduled...

I'm assuming you included her in your application as common law partner. PPR email explicitly requests to inform them Immediately of any changes, including marriage. This is very clearly stated and cannot be missed. Please do that immediately if you haven't done so. . If there was no name...

For info, My application was just approved today on mycic. They received my passport on the 22nd. Return tracker not yet active.

from what i see in the forum, about 2 weeks. mine was received there on Feb 22nd.

really ? almost two months later and still no reply from them ? that is very disappointed (but somehow I am not surprised) i am waiting for my passport back from Ottawa and was planning to do landing in my local CIC office (Calgary) but do not want to wait that long. Is there anyone else out...

possibly but not always the case. You can provide additional documents as proof of the missing info (e.g. your payslips or bank statements for that period showing the money you received). at very least, write a LOE stating what your salary was and explaining that they refused to include it. If...

I would email them (you got the email contact on the PPR email) and ask - they respond quickly. You will get an automated response saying they will reply in 20 days, but will most likely get a response sooner. I contact them twice, and got a response in 3 days on the first one, and within 1...

yes, it looks like it is an open work permit. Job title does not really matter much unless there is a restriction underneath. A close work permit would have a statement saying you are only allowed to work for a specific employer or location. For example, my own work permit has the following...

my degree was not in English not French, therefore it needs translations like every other document

Hi Yes, I got PPR last month (Jan 22). Had to renew passports so only sent them yesterday, but don't expect any issues from now on. I never got my bachelor's ECA and they never asked. I only submitted a copy of my diploma and translations, but no ECA for bachelor. Only for masters. Regards

You need to provide all trips you have done, regardless of whether your passport have been stamped or not. In some cases (myself included) this may be difficult because one may not kept a detailed record as CIC requests. I have travelled a lot throughout Europe by car and train and cannot...

wait a bit longer if you current WP is still valid. Apply for BOWP just before your current WP expires, if you haven't received PPR at that time, so you can still stay and work in Canada on implied status.

it is by email. Just wanted to share what happened to me, in case someone else is in the same situation. Probably doesn't apply to most people, but just in the interest of sharing: my PPR was sent to an immigration firm my company used for my work permit renewal an year ago, even though I...
