thanks reza, I needed that.

I spoke with a CIC agent yesterday to find out my 2nd BOWP application (current one expires end of this month) has been put up for further/second review. I thought this usually happened to PR applications and such? Has anyone heard of this phenomenon of second review for BOWP applications...

I think you are right. I called CIC yesterday only to find out that my BOWP has been put for "further review". Sigh.... PR applicant since march 2014 under cec, 2yrs+ work experience from a fortune 500 company and still the misery continues. Now even the BOWP is having issues. CIC is a joke...

I applied for 2nd BOWP extension mid June and pretty much every other forum user has got their work permit back. According to my GCMS notes the BF date on my PR application (which has everything they need) was end of June. Is the delay in processing of my BOWP related to my PR application...

Just read on very old thread that you can enter Canada in a private vehicle using COPR. Is that still the case? Also, how long does it take to get your COPR if everything is okay after CIC receives your RCMP clearance?

I am CEC applicant since 2014. New fingerprints were requested this month and I sent those to CIC few days back. My employer is helping me get my L1-B and move to U.S. for 2 years to work on a major project. My BOWP expires this October. My question is, if somehow by miracle, CIC managed to...

So I got request from CIC to send in "new rcmp fingerprints criminal record check". The last ones I sent are only 6 months old. Is this some kind of strategy to delay processing? Has anyone seen such scenario before i.e. requesting this check again while I already sent them within a year. oh...

You sir have won the canadavisa.com's idiot of the year award. Yeah, lets swap your life with someone who is in a refugee camp near a war torn country somewhere. You sir claim to be hard working, you need to take a look into the mirror and think about life a little bit more harder. Slavery...

not a bad thing but means more backlog / slower processing?

I am sorry but this article sounds way too much linked to the irish community and doesn't really highlight many generic scenarios. For example, there are people who cannot get working holiday visas so they have to go through channels such as mine i.e. who have been here in canada since 2007...

This is crazy. I am boarding a plane tomorrow and I have no idea how my future will end up just because of this express entry system which has clogged everything.....

Vark how did you deal with the situation?

Little unclear on the 'they will have to stop paying you immediately'? Why is that?

No I do not have USA work VISA (I have B1/B2 type) and I don't intend on working from there. I already called up my manager and HR for medical leave and they are giving me days off (family medical leave with some % pay). My biggest concern is if that money from payroll would count as work...

Thank you for your response zardoz. So does that mean PTO (paid time off) or Family Leave (offered by work with 80% pay) is illegal for the time I am away? I will not be doing any work until I get the new permit.

*** I am in desperate need of your opinion/suggestions while I look for lawyers available on the weekend so please give below a read *** I am a long time reader on these forums and CEC applicant (april 2014). Like many others I have not received my PR yet. I have applied for a BOWP as my work...

Jeremied, If I was you I would listen carefully to what I have to say. There is no such thing as leaving on good terms with a criminal conviction. If you leave after pleading guilty and without fighting or getting alternate program you are pretty much closing gates for yourself for a long time...

In same boat as most of you, the dreadful 2nd review. snippet of gcms notes: Application xxx, .... make the following recommendation: FOSS/GCMS check: - No adverse info. PA currently holds valid status in Canada.. CIVIL STATUS: - Married. PA copy of passport on file: yes. - marriage cert. on...

Hello all, Long time lurker posting for the first time, I thought I should post my status and also ask seniors what my next step(s) should be in my current situation. I came to Canada in 2007, graduated from university and got PGWP and started working. Got married (she is canadian) and we have...
