Hi Guys,

A query regarding the query 'During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status before becoming a permanent resident?' I came on a Work Permit which had a validity from March 2020 to December 2021. My Organization proactively filed for a Work Permit extension in Feb 2021 and I got a new Work Permit which had validity from March 2021 till Feb 2023. I got my PR in November 2021.

I want to know that do I have to mention the details of all these Work Permits in this query? If yes, should I say that my Status was valid from March 2020 till 28 Feb 2021 and then again from 1st March 2021 till Nov 2021 when I got my PR? Your help here is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
You will mention yes for this question and the dates for the temporary resident status would be from March 2020 to November 2021.

You will mention yes for this question and the dates for the temporary resident status would be from March 2020 to November 2021.
Hi,

Thanks for your response. For sake of clarity, giving you my complete details:
1st Work Permit: Valid from 3rd March 2020 till 2nd Dec 2021
2nd Work Permit (raised well before expiry of 1st by the company): Valid from 1st March 2021 till 28 Feb 2023.
PR Received: 20th November 2021

If you could please help with what I should fill for the following questions:
1. Temporary Resident Status: For this the answer is 'Temporary Foreign Worker'
2. Date you received the status: The answer is '3rd March 2020'
3. Date your status expired: This is where my confusion begins. What should be the answer for this? Will it be 20th Nov 2021 when I received my PR? Or will it be 28 Feb 2021 because on that day my 1st Work Permit expires and the validity of my 2nd Work Permit starts. I feel the correct answer will be 20th Nov 2021. But, if in case as per you its 28 Feb 2021, then I will have to provide answers to the below further questions:

Did you apply to extend your status?

Date you applied to extend your status

Was the extension approved?

Expiry date of extended status

Please guide.

Thanks.

What is this sheet about?
Me and my partener submitted our application on July 6th, from Toronto.
The spreadsheet is to track the progress of the applicants to get some insights and trends on how long each stage would take. We have similar spreadsheets for every year since 2017.

The spreadsheet for 2024 can be accessed using this link, switch to the July tab for July data - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P3V8UJOTwiiYd2TC8O5a5rKq4GlqpAXq9Zr1rfrScSc

Here is how you it would be:

1. Temporary Resident Status: 'Temporary Foreign Worker'
2. Date you received the status: '3rd March 2020'
3. Date your status expired: '19th Nov 2021'

The temporary status expires the previous day of when you receive PR status.

It lets you create the tracker after 2 business days from AOR. IRCC is a little slow, they will send the email in about 1-2 weeks to create the tracker account :) (expect an automated email even though you already created the tracker)

Here is the link to register for the tracker - https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register
