[Miss bee]

Hahahah that’s cic excuse to start working on express entry files ... as like seriously we being waiting for an AOR from 6 months and now they decided to put files on hold .. I don’t know what’s gonna happen now
Plz guys someone enquire about this cic new update .. am stressing out now
Like that’s cic fault we sent our applications at proper time but they haven’t processed them because of the all the so called excuse covid

This is from last September update. It’s only for who lost job . Not for everyone. If you don’t have job then this case applies to you.

Since you have a MR from IRCC (not upfront), you should expect to see DM in ECAS within a month from now. please raise GCMS if you are inland here -- https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

Chose the $5 option whatever it is. I guess its called personal information. Dont forget to attach auth. letter for getting spouse records + both parents should sign for the kiddos. Takes about 30-40 days to showup in your email.

Thanks so much!

send them a webform with your UCI number (this can be found on your work permit) on that so they can locate and add the additional document to your application.
1- they will add it
2- if the document is important, they might mark your application as incomplete and send it back after 3month
3- if the document is not important, they just do a complete check, give you the AOR with Application number, ask you to link it online, then ask for Additional Document, this time you will submit via GC key online.

I've been there before (missed 1 document as Spouse Background Declaration), they just asked for it. We scanned and sent them online.

I already did yesterday but i m worry because it’s already been 6 months now and no AOR still

6 months, nothing to worry. 9 months, yes - maybe. Even if sent back, provinces support you again. Be positive.

I think while requesting, there is this option to get full copy of the file. I just remembered this. But this method takes a lot of time. Is it any useful? Does it have more scanned documents than the ones you submitted?

They have sent with all stamped and some writeup codes...

HI,

I need one clarification - I have applied for paper based PR after getting PNP in NOvember, 2020.
Now, I also have received the ITA from express entry profile. I am interested to go with Express Entry.

Question:

1. Can I reuse the money paid for paper based PR application towards express entry payment?
2. Is it possible to let both express entry and paper based application go in parallel?
3. How to apply for refund for application payment made towards paper based application?

Regards.

1. Only if you withdraw your application you can get refund (full or partial, depends on how far your application is under PNP); there is no way to transfer money on your behalf (like IRCC wont do it for you)
2. Yes, you can have both at the same time (but remember: it means you have to pay all fees for EE again)
3. Check withdrawal policy

refer to this link for refund: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/refund.asp
2. Is it possible to let both express entry and paper based application go in parallel? I read this thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/can-i-have-two-pr-applications-in-process-at-the-same-time.542855/

Yes GU is sent out. Also you will know the answer when you get GCMS. The date of GCMS notes pull is in the GCMS pdf at the bottom. I also got a GU a day before receiving GCMS.

Every prior request for GCMS is also in the GCMS notes which I don't think they can do without updating the profile notes.

@bbjeon38 So yours could be GCMS pulling out. Not a glitch

@bbjeon38 - The article says - "From September 17, 2020 to November 17, 2020, provincial and territorial jurisdictions may request that paper-based Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applications be placed on hold in cases where an applicant no longer has a valid job offer as a result of COVID-19 and their application was received prior to March 18, 2020. Applications will be put on hold until March 17, 2021, or until a new job offer is received ".

Why would they place everybody's file on hold? Only the ones who lost job right? If they really do put all job offer PNPs before Mar 2020 on hold, atleast we now know the next hopeful date -- March 2021 end .

BIG CORRECTION: CIC ask for continuity of nominations to provinces, if provinces would not continue and confirm it to CIC, then CIC will hold that perticular application and inform the same to provinces and applicants both.

That they do all the time, COVID or not. Traces of such request and response I can see in my GCMS already.

99% could be. But why update profile to just send pdf. Not sure. It could also be for Security start. Hope is a b**ch . Will call IRCC tomorrow and we will know the answer
