Hello All,
Thank you all for the useful information on this forum.
I got a strange email from IRCC in my junk folder last night.
See an excerpt below. Has anyone gotten anything like this? I am not sure I understand what it means
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
When filling out the Come to Canada eligibility tool, the system will ask you a series of questions to verify if you meet the minimum requirements to submit your application online.
What happens if I am eligible?
You will be provided a unique reference number, known as the Personal Reference Code (PRC).
The PRC will generate a personalized, streamlined document checklist that you can follow whether submitting an online or paper application.
When entering the PRC, it is important to do so in the exact format as follows: AB1234567890. You may only use the PRC once.
I am receiving an error message when entering my PRC. What can I do?
• You can fill out the Come to Canada eligibility tool to obtain another PRC, or
• Fill out the questionnaire directly from your MyCIC account. To do so:
1. under the section What would you like to do today?, click on Express Entry, then
2. under the section I do not have a Personal Reference Code, click on Determine your eligibility and complete an online Express Entry profile.
Furthermore, the type of application offered to you during the eligibility questionnaire depends on the answers you provide.
When you answer Permanently to the question How long are you planning to stay in Canada?, you will be presented with permanent residence options.
To apply for a temporary resident document such as work permit, study permit or visitor record, you can:
• Delete the pending application from your MyCIC welcome page,
• Create a new application, and
• Answer Temporarily – more than 6 months or Temporarily – less than 6 months when asked the question How long are you planning to stay in Canada?
If you experience further difficulties submitting your application, we invite you to write back to us using the IRCC Web form available on our website and include:
• All your answers to the online questionnaire. To do this:
o click on the Modify my Answers button located at the top of the online questionnaire. Once you are redirected to the page entitled Find Out if You're Eligible to Apply, you can either:
provide us with screen shots, or
copy and paste the text.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
Please do not reply to this email.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
