I received a letter back in August asking me to submit a RCMP police check, and also to provide my biometrics. I promptly uploaded the police check certificate, but was unable to get my biometrics at that time due to COVID. However, some time later there was an announcement of a new...

I moved to California for a temporary stay on the 31st January 2019 and I arrived in the evening. I'm not sure which month I should put for my personal history entry. To put that I was there from January seems incorrect as I was barely there for a few hours of that month. I left California in...

Thanks for this, I have definitely been overthinking things. I'm not sure what my circumstances will be a year from now, but if I go and get this sorted at least I'll have the option. I understand the SIN process, as I've had to do that previously but I am a bit unsure what you mean about the...

I want to share my situation and get some advice in case there is something I have misunderstood or to find out if I have other options. Back story: I was living/working in Canada on a temporary visa. While there I applied for PR. Due to the long processing time (almost a year in total) and...

Hoping to get some clarification about PR routes. I applied for PR through what I thought was express entry (Canada Experience Class). Friends I knew who had applied this way received their COPR within 2 months. I was banking on something similar but it ended up taking over 6 months (actually...

Thanks that was very helpful. I thought what I was planning to do was very unusual but I guess not!

I received my COPR letter, but it is only valid for a short time. I'm not ready to move yet. Can I fly to Canada, activate the COPR, then leave and return to Canada when ready? Are the border agents ok with this generally? What is the process for activating COPR when there? Thanks

I have received my COPR. However, it took so long (almost a year) that I was forced to leave Canada and seek employment elsewhere (my temporary work permit had expired and was not eligible for renewal). So I am now in my home country and not in a position really to return to Canada just yet...

Thanks for your reply. I have sent a message to CIC asking them what my options are. It would be an expensive trip to fly to Canada to literally just show them my COPR letter and then fly back, so I'm hoping there is another way.

Hi all. I worked in Canada for a year and qualified for PR so I applied via Express Entry / Canada Experience Class. However, because the application process took SO LONG, my visa expired and I was eventually forced to leave Canada returning to my home country. Now, almost a year later, I have...
