Your application may be open, closed, or cancelled.
If the status is open, it means that we have received your application. When we begin to process your file, you will be notified of a change in your application status through your account.
If the status is closed, it means that a final decision has been reached on your application.
If the status is cancelled, it means that before a final decision was made, CIC determined that we did not need to process the application. This could be due to:
an administrative error and your application needs to be re-created by CIC,
an extension of status is required before a permit application can be processed, and/or
CIC determined you do not need what you applied for.
