Guys, I have couple questions. Please help.
1. I saw DM on ECAS on May 30. Maybe it was there before, unfortunately I did not know about ECAS before May 30( thanks to the kind person on this forum who told me about it and gave the link). From that day no news yet.
My question is "After status on ECAS updates to DM for both sponsor and applicant what is the next step? Should I expect any emails from them like decision has been made or process is completed? Or they don't send anything like that and next thing I should expect from them with be an email with PPR? And how long it's usually take?
2. I am from Russia, live in Canada on my post graduate work permit which is vald I till 2019. My Canadian visa is already expired. So l can stay inside country no problem but can not travel I guess. When I will attend my landing interview I am planning to to to Niagara Falls border cross it and come back. Somebody told me that it's called flag pole. I have a valid American visa still to go on their side. Please tell me will I be able to leave Canada without valid Canadian visa and will I be able to come back without a valid visa but with all documents from CIC. Like my application number, all CIC emails, landing interview paper and my work permit? Or i need a visa still?
And when you doing a flag pole do they choose a date for you to land or I can do it any day?
P.S. I am Outland, Ottawa Visa Office.
Thank you!
