Hi, thanks for the helpful information! I have a few questions along with our data points. I'll update when possible.
AOR: September 8, 2019
PPR: March 4
Passport copies and requested photos delivered to Ottawa: Confirmed March 23
We applied under EE CEC, inland, live in Toronto, all of us born US Citizens. My husband has an employer specific WP, is Primary applicant. Our two kids and I have visitor permits to accompany him. All expiring 5/30/20.
1. Once you receive PPR request, have they reviewed your complete application and cleared it or can you still get denied?
In the portal, the status bar is at 100% but then it says taking longer to process than usual and all the application steps are still "under review" except medical. I didn't really understand PPR was a big process milestone until i started BOWP research.
2. It's unlikely we'll receive COPR and then the interview or phone call by May 30th when our permits expire. We started the application for a BOWP and visitor extensions. Would you file them ASAP at 30 days as suggested or wait a couple weeks and hope we somehow complete the process and avoid $550 in additional fees?
3.There's no phase of the application process that gives implied status until you complete the landing/actual interview/phone call, correct? Receiving COPR does not grant implied status? BOWP is our only option?
Thank you and best of luck!
