PR Submitted: 2nd January 2019
AOR & Medical request: 28th January 2019
MEP: 3rd February 2016
Ghost updates: 1st March, 12th March and 4th April 2019
Pre-arrival letter: 13th March 2019
PPR: 5th April 2019

Intermediate skilled, inland, Nova Scotia, NOC 6512.
I'm from England and have already been in Canada for 2 years and 3 months as a TFW.

Woohoo!

Hi,
Congratulations on receiving the email and passing the PR step.
I have one question for you. Today my wife and I called IRCC, since our profile has not been changed after 2 updates around three weeks ago, and basically nothing has been changed since passing the medicals. Anyways, we called them and asked about the status of our application. The lady said that everything looks good and we will get a letter asking us to go to Halifax office to do the final step of the application ! As far as I know the letter that she was talking about should ask the applicants to send their passports to IRCC to get visa for landing.
Would you please tell us what's the content of the "golden email" that you received?
Thanks

Sure. You need to receive the letter yourself before you can go to Halifax and get your passport stamped as you need to take it with you with your application info on it.

Your application for permanent residence in Canada has now been approved. This includes you and each family member on the application that is accompanying you to Canada.

Please note that your Permanent Residency must be finalized prior to the expiry date of your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR), which will expire on: XX XX XXXX

We are pleased to offer you a new option for confirming your permanent residence. You may now present yourself without an appointment to one of the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada offices listed below, within the time ranges indicated:

HALIFAX
1741 Brunswick Street, Suite B110 Halifax, NS B3J 3X8
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Please bring originals of the following documents:

 A copy of this letter.
 A valid passport or travel document. If you have already been advised that you are exempted from the requirement to obtain a passport, please bring other documents establishing your identity.
 Two photos are required for you and each member of your family in Canada included in your application for permanent residence. Click on the link below for details: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/prcard.asp
 IMPORTANT: If already in your possession, remember to bring with you the document entitled “Confirmation of Permanent Residence” (2 copies).

It also listed Fredericton as well as Halifax as an option for me. It also has a bit about RPRF and notes about attending the interview. As I hadn't paid RPRF it advised me to do it before I come to the visa office and bring the receipt with me.

Hello,

I am new to the forum.

I have an Atlantic process, my timeline is the next:

Confirmed of received: 01 October

Medical exam request: 02 November

Invitation of pre-arrival services: 03 November

Confirmation of passed medical exam: 10 November

I am a little nervous, I have not received information since the last update and today I am in the six month of the process (I understand that it is an average and may take more time)

I suppose that it is impossible recieve the PPR if I don't receive the update of start background check?

When they send the PPR, they notified by email? Or not?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

If you are inland applicant i would suggest them calling them and ask them about the update.

 

[nskhani]

Need to clear one doubt. If someone is moving to Canada with AIPP, I understand that main applicant needs to work with that employer for min 1 year before he think to change his job. Is it true?

And does the spouse has any limitations to work in the same province who has nominated the his partner based on the job offer he received from a designated employer or he can work in other provinces as well?

I dont think there is any condition as such. But would ask a lawyer or immigration consultant to be sure. I think as long as you intend to stay in the province you should be fine. But again I will double check it

 

[nskhani]

I am so sorry but you are not the only one this has happened. IRCC and CBSA are going to all the employers now in the background check and when they found out the company is not that big that they had issued so many job offers so CBSA and IRCC are forcing them to take back job offers and endorsements which lead to PR application refusal. In your case now endorsement is invalid you can try getting a new job in that province and get a new endorsement. But in most cases the employers are asking for money(bribe) after endorsement approval and when employee does not pay they make up a reason to take back endorsement. Happened to two of my friends. There are chances you may still get PPR as it takes time for province to notify IRCC. But even if you got PR visa, CBSA will deny you entry to canada on the basis of misrepresentation. So its better you tell all this to IRCC now through webform.

You can report the company who asking for bribe for endorsement. IRCC will take action against them.

Yesterday i received the very very bad news. we received RPRF request on 30 March 2019 and we made the payment on 31st March 2019 and uploaded the payment reciept but 31st Night we saw news that my employer is closed and layed off all the employees.03 April 2019 we received the email from NB saying that my endorsement is null and void.

I am at the last stage and got this reply from province.

I dont no now what to do.
I have invested all my money and time from last one year wasted.

From what i understand, IRCC have probably made a decision on your case or maybe in final stages for making the case. If that is so u cannot withdraw your application.Get a limmigration consultant and you should be able to fight it. Only condition as far as I know is you got to have is intend to live in the province. I dont see why IRCC will cancel your ppr after they issue it. You definetly have a chance to beat it.

hopefully thinking positive and waiting to here from IRCC.. Kindly pray for me guys..

 

[armanarian]

Hi guys,
is it mandatory to have a relevant work experience related to job offer?

 

[immihelper]

hopefully thinking positive and waiting to here from IRCC.. Kindly pray for me guys..

I would suggest, however, that you write or call them and inform them of the situation. The last thing you want is for them to deny based on misrepresentation because you didn't tell them what is going on. Call them at 18882422100 and use the following to get through quicker to an agent: press 3, 4,1, then 0. Wishing you all the best!

Any news, friends?
This week is going to end soon and we didn't received any email again ! I'm kind of getting worried now! it's almost a month since our second ghost update. I'm pretty sure that our application is at Halifax office, but don't know why we haven't heard anything yet! Even though, according to the call center agent, "everything (eligibility, medicals and background check) is passed" !

 

[Singh1414]

Any AOR this for the people who applied in feb or march 2019. I noticed IRCC have slowed down the process again...?

-When did u submit ur application and when did they receive it?I am also waiting and my application was received on march starting approx at Sydney office

I went for my landing interview & COPR signing in Halifax today. I thought I'd share with you all my experience:

I went into the visa office with no prior appointment and used the phone by the door to let them know I was there, took a seat and was called in within a few minutes. The officer was very casual and friendly. I told him my partner is flying back to Canada on Wednesday so what does he need to do to COPR. He went out back to pull up my partner's file, then told me my partner needs to come to Canada with an ETA and enter as a visitor, the come to the visa office to sign for COPR just as I did. My partner already has an ETA, but I have equipped him with a copy of my PPR letter and my COPR document which names him & his passport number, DOB etc. and the usual things you may be asked to present proof of upon entrance to Canada (PoF, travel insurance, etc.)

The officer confirmed my personal details with me (DOB, address, phone number, email address) said there was a few questions he needed to ask:

Have I ever been convinced of a criminal offence in any country
(Yes - I took with me a copy of my police certificate, although not prompted to do in my PPR letter, its a good job I did as he reviewed it, gave it back to me. My conviction has since been stepped down and I was deemed rehabilitated to enter Canada in 2015. He said it's good that I answered honestly)
Do I have any dependents not named on the application and if so, to declare them now
(No)
What was the date of my last Entry to Canada and which airport did I arrive into?
Do I intend on leaving Canada in the next two months?
(No)

Maybe there was a couple of other little questions but I can't remember off the top of my head.

He then took my photographs and the RPRF receipt, and went through my COPR document with me and we both initialled and signed two copies, he then gave me a document with information on to get a SIN and a health card, told me about my duties of being a PR and told me what it means to be a PR, informed me that my COPR document doesn't enable me to travel and that I need to wait up to two months for my PR card before I can leave Canada. Not once did he ask to see my passport. He then said 'congratulations you are now a permanent resident of Canada' which made me cry (with happiness!), then shook my hand. He was very nice and friendly and put me at ease. It took in total about fifteen minutes. Everyone else in the waiting room was so happy and joyful to be getting their PR, lots of smiles and tears. A magical if not very strange experience.

I'm now thinking of writing a blog to share my experience of coming to Canada on the IEC program, and eventually getting PR through the AIPP.
