Yes, I did leave this until the last minute. I suppose I was honestly expecting everything to go relatively smoothly. I thought that I had submitted my PR with enough time to allow it to process. But when they requested the FBI clearance and then the US gov't shutdown, things started going off...

Here's my situation. 1. PGWP expires Nov 1, 2013. 2. Applied OUTLAND spousal sponsorship in February 2013. 2. PR app is in its final stages. They requested FBI Clearance and passport in early September. 3. Sent fingerprints and FBI clearance form to FBI early September. 4. Gov't shutdown...

According to this CIC page, I would only be eligible for a bridge permit if I had applied for PR under an economic class. But I've applied for PR through the family sponsorship class. Is there a bridge permit for that?

So I wouldn't be able to keep working under 'implied status' since I have an application in process for PR and am awaiting a decision on that? I'd rather not pay another $125 for a work permit that I will probably only have for about 4-6 weeks before I flagpole.

Hi, I am in Canada on a post-grad work permit. It expires Nov 1, 2013. Unfortunately, do to some confusion, I did not submit a FBI clearance and now they have requested one along with a copy of my passport. The deadline they gave me was Nov 16, 2013. If it takes as long as it supposedly does for...

Hmm...I've read elsewhere that they will send it via courier if you provide a prepaid envelope or a FedEx account number. What have other people's experiences been?

Do you think that if I put a prepaid FedEx envelope I might get it quicker? I live in the Vancouver area so I'm going to swing down to Bellingham to FedEx the fingerprints, etc. to the FBI. But I'm wondering about them returning it because they will probably send it snail mail and frankly, I...

I am filling out the paperwork for an FBI clearance request and it says that I can send the results to a different location. Should I put the CPP-O's address or would it be faster for them to mail it back to me and then I would expedite it to Ottawa? What have you people done?

I re-sent the case officer my personal history and they still sent an email back saying they wanted it. So I'm assuming that because I was in the USA for more than 6 months (even though the time was broken up by substantial time in Canada) they still want something saying I didn't do anything...

I received an email with a request for a copy of my passport and an FBI certificate. According to the application guide 5289 it says: The email I got from the case officer said: I was going to university up here in Canada since 2006. I turned 18 in March 2006. I moved to Canada Sept 2006...

K thanks...I included it in the question before it with regards to my activities in the last 10 years. I did start to wonder though if this is going to be a problem because I recently realize that my work permit says that I can't work in health care. I assume that's because I did not have a...

I was wondering what counted as an "organization" and "membership." I volunteer at a hospital providing spiritual care to patients. Do I need to include that?

Great thanks so much for the quick reply!

Hi, I recently got married to a Canadian and we are starting the PR process. My wife is about a year and a half out of nursing school and has been working as a casual nurse since last November. Due to all the wedding preparations, she didn't work a lot during the summer and has only recently...
