It seems justice Rennie instructed to finalize one specific application by October 14th.


Although from trackitt record it seems PNP stream is not moving forward.

Any comments on this:

Although it has been communicated that Federal court has ordered the timely processing of all the pending applications, the practical problem is that backlog is huge. To tackle this problem, Federal court has also given a solution that process all the applications of the higher priority first till October 14, 2012 thus giving prospect to other candidates of process of their application with in time to come.

What exactly is meant by "higher priority"? I'm so confused. I'm worried if it would delay our application processing time. Please chime in.

Thanks.

I dont think the applicants with "higher priority" apply to us.

There is not much you can do than wait. Try applying for GCMS Notes to get a better idea of where your file is and any due dates, to get some idea when you should be expecting anything!

Does anyone know how long the passport has to be valid when ppr is issued. Looking at the trend I don't think I will get ppr in next 4 to 6 months. My passport will expire in next year. So I have to get a new passport (machine readable). The one I have used in PR application is hand written and my country is not renewing it any more. Will that be an issue if I get a machine readable passport with old passport attach to it? Also my work permit will expire next year. I have applied in master's stream. What will happen if the post graduate work permit expired before they send me the PR request? looking forward to your valuable advice.

Thanks a bunch

Thanks Sharuu for the reply, but i already have waited three months, Due date on my GCMS is already passed and my medical is going to expire in next week too but still no news on PR.. wait is killing me man.. i can't take stress of work as well of PR.. I know Alberta and BC applicants are asked for proof of employment when they are requested for passport but i haven't seen any Ontario PNP case who is asked for proof of employment in PPR request.. Ontario PNP FAQ doesn't have that question either however its very common scenario in today's tight economy however BC and Alberta PNP does specify what to do if you get layed off or changed your employer while PR (PNP) in process.. its so confusing..

If you are PNP then you can get closed work permit based on PNP certificate, so don't worry about the work permit you will get in 7 working days when you apply for it online.. for passports i think its doesn't matter whether or not the renewable passport is machine readable or manual as long as you send them photocopies of both passports to VO after you renew it... my case is opposite of yours, i applied for PR on machine readable passport and it was expired in May so renewed my passport but unfortunately my country's embassy in Ottawa gives manual passport i had no choice but to apply for it... anyways i sent VO the updates but didn't hear anything from them..

Thank you for your reply. It was very helpful. I don't know anything about close work permit. Do I get the close work permit even if I don't have a job during that time?

Thanks

Under which PNP stream you applied? Are you Ontario nominated?

Were you part of the masters program in ontario where you didnt need a job offer to get nominated?

I am not sure and you need to ask the PNP office but if you were part of a masters program and applied and got approved without a job offer i dont think you can renew your work permit using the pnp certificate. The people who renew it using the certificate were nominated by the province through their employer who sponsored them, thus, the closed work permit.

Again.. ask your PNP Office for clarification!
