This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. However, a final decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you and all your family members have met these requirements.
In order to continue processing your application in Canada further information is required. You must complete/submit the following information to the Case Processing Centre:

I just have a question I hope somebody can help me. I submitted an open work permit in my application but I am not sure if they are are going to send it to me as it doesn't say in the email. I am now waiting for the Edmonton office to contact me. I was given an opportunity to work for a different job and they wanted me to start as soon as possible. I'm still working on my current job but I don't know if I should give my 2 weeks notice now or wait till I have my work permit on my hand. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
