Hi
I submitted my PR application under TR to PR essential non-healthcare stream B on June 12th, 2021, while I was on PGWP
AOR received in Feb 18th 2022, ADR requested in Feb 19th 2022
Biometrics completed on Feb 22nd, 2022,
ADR on December 2nd, 2022,
GCMS notes requested in June 2022 and received in December 2022, stated Criminality, security not started, and eligibility in the process.
While waiting for my PR, I submitted BOWP as my PGWP was expiring in Feb 2023. I received a refusal of OWP on Feb 22nd, 2023 due to non-payment of fees, I immediately stopped working and applied for restoration on status and owp on Feb 23rd through a consultant as didn't want to make any further mistakes. I called IRCC the agent mentioned one needs to stop working and nowhere is mentioned they need to quit the job.
I haven't quit my job and am currently on unpaid leave.
In between, I have numerous time sought assistance from local MP and called IRCC the above three is still in process.
Another GCMS request was submitted in March 2023.
The new announcement by IRCC on March 17th, 2023, one can apply for OWP if their PGWP expired, I am unsure if I can apply for this as I applied for restoration already.
