I got the EXACT same response from the team behind Michael Levitt! I sent an email just after 9am this morning and within an hour they replied. So I don't know what that means or how long that'll take....CIC is driving me mad nowAlex Z said:I got the reply from the team who works with MP Bill Morneau
'Thank you for reaching out to us. We are currently still in the process of setting up a constituency office for Bill Morneau, which we are unable to fully do until he is officially sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre later this month. I have flagged your email and once Bill's office is fully set up a member of his constituency staff will get in touch in order to try and assist you with your Work Permit issue.'

I need to know the same thing sahmed17 but I am unable to find out. I don't believe so because it is a foil sticker thing that goes on the passport. I am travelling too, I already cancelled one trip last week, I don't want to cancel my Christmas tripsahmed17 said:Is it possible to get TRV at POE after getting the PGWP? The online application is 17 days and I need to leave the country by the end of this month and havent even received my PGWP yet
SO FRUSTRATED! June 10th applicant
No you can't get it at the POE , either you can get it in Canada or in your home country but only after your PGWP/SP/WP approval. So make sure you have a legal status in canada before you leave. Hope that helps...sahmed17 said:Is it possible to get TRV at POE after getting the PGWP?

What do they tell you when you call zsquare? I want to know how the agents help once your past the processing date, because they are so unhelpful otherwise. If everything was submitted and fully paid, I fail to understand why you have to wait 170 days . What was your correspondence with them when you called??zsquare said:I am May 13th applicant - paid full at time of application ($255). No email/message from CIC except a blank update somewhere in August. Still waiting as of Nov 3rd - 170 days and counting.
I only called them once in October when processing times passed May 13th. The agent said she has put in a request, and I will have to wait.mets15 said:What do they tell you when you call zsquare?

TRV is going to take less time anyway because it is based on your WP/SP ...sahmed17 said:The agent put me on hold when i said my processing time has passed and said that they sent a reminder to the people processing their application who replied that "it can take upto 4 months more" She said she cant do anything else to help me and all i gotta do is wait.
All my travelling plans are ruined cus of this. Feels like im stuck and trapped in Canada
Would you guys recommend a paper application or online for TRV? For paper, do we send them the passport direcltly with the application? Interested in applying by paper because "apparently" its a week less.
did you apply online or paper?Am11 said:TRV is going to take less time anyway because it is based on your WP/SP ...
