Hey guys,

Is it advisable to travel to my home country if my WP & visa is expiring in the third week of Feb.? I have already received my AOR and applied for BOWP. It's been 29 days since my BOWP application but haven't heard anything yet. Please advice.
I once tried to re-enter Canada with just 1 week left until the expiry of my visa. The officer first told me that she was going to send me back to my home country. She said that 1 week was not enough to extend/renew my status in Canada. I was sent to a waiting room with my luggage and had to wait a whole stressful hour until she called me up and told me that she would let me pass the immigration out of good will.

So to cut the story short, Don't do it!

Yes, I am aware of this and that is why I do not want to risk anything after coming this far. I hope I get lucky and get my WP approved in the next two days to make it home for my sister's wedding. Thanks AmirHNK for replying.

You are welcome!

FYI, you will still need to apply for and obtain a TRV visa after you receive your WP before travelling out of Canada!

Thanks rockytg and amirhnk. So he will not see on the mycic account that somebody requested for gcms notes? I dont have access to the mycic log in that is why I am hesitant. I appreciate all your help guys.
If your consultant is doing his job properly and requesting GCMS notes for your application so that he can make sure it's on the right track he MAY realize that someone else has ordered these notes (as the simple request get recorded on the GCMS notes). Say you request now, then he request in two weeks time, he may see in the log that the notes were requested 2 weeks ago... Why not just ask him to request you a set? He'll be able to do it for $5 and it should be cheaper for you.

Hi Guys,

I have been off to this tread for long time.

I received my ITA in mid November, 2016 and then I went to India for vacation. I submitted my file on 18th December, 2016 but since then I haven't heard anything yet. No medical update nothing. Moreover my Visa is expiring in June, 2017.

Could someone tell me how long I have to wait for update.?

Thanks in advance.

We have close to 137 AoRs from December. Could I request all of you to kindly update the immitracker so that we can analyze trends and also have a closed sense of a sub-community? There is also a whatsapp group for all to join.

Revised list - 133 December AoR follks. Please let me know if any mistakes are there. It would be good to have a running tracker within the forum just like November thread started by Raj.

Just some update(s) that can be added to the eAPR December sheet on google drive (my name is already there):

- I was asked to upload Dutch PCC on December 20, 2016. It was provided a week later.
- My country of residence is Netherlands.
I am also Netherlands resident. Can u tell me ur timeline?
At what stage Dutch pcc was requested from you after R10 or before that?

Yes, but I have no travel plans for the year - at least till I get PR. Also, I spoke to a call center agent today and she said that I could travel as long as my WP and visa is valid, provided I come back before the expiry. I am not sure if it's wise to do so after hearing about your experience and some other people i know.

Lol. Since I update the list around 3-4 times a week, I know the names when I see them (at least most of the names). So when I saw your name on the list, I ran through the list to check if other November applicants were on the list too.

Hello,

Can someone who has done medical "EDE-Family" type, told me if he/she has got medical PASSED recently?

I have done Upfront Medical Exams in a clinic where they told me it should be EDE-Family... and I have seen that the majority of the applicants here have done Non-EDE Worker type...

Btw, my application status has remained the same since Day 1... no medical pass... (AOR: 22 December 2016)

Thanks
Hi, we're on the same boat .I got ITA on dec 16th submitted and got Aor on dec 22nd and up till now no update, medical is yet to be passed. I called cic they said medical update can take up to 8weeks. Based on the trend Inland Cec is taken forever to get medical update.
