Yes, you can track and interact with your Permanent Residence (PR) application even if it was submitted by a representative, but there are some limitations depending on how your representative is set up in the application.
1.
Tracking Your PR Application Status
You have two main ways to track your PR application personally
a.
Client Application Status (CAS) Tool
b.
IRCC PR Tracker (for non-Express Entry only)
  • Visit: https://prt-srp.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login
  • You need to sign up with:
    • Your UCI number
    • Your application number (usually starts with Rxxxxxxxxx)
    • Information like your date of birth and passport number

  • This tracker provides more detailed updates (biometrics, medicals, eligibility, security, etc.)
If you don’t have your application number because your representative is not sharing it, you may have to ask them for it to access the tracker.
2.
Submitting Documents or Updates to IRCC
If your representative is currently authorized and listed on your application, then
  • Only the representative is expected to communicate with IRCC on your behalf.
  • If you submit something directly (e.g., through a webform), IRCC might ignore it or forward it to your rep.
Your Options:
1: Work through your representative. Ask them to submit on your behalf.
  • Option 2: Cancel the representative (if you prefer full control). To do this:
Thank you so much for the detailed reply.

Winnipeg is the worst office of IRCC. My background check was changed to in progress on April 30, 2024, still in progress. Many are stuck in the Winnipeg office doing background checks.
You are not wrong with that. My background check is stuck in Winnipeg as well. There must be something fishy with that office honestly, literally everyone is complaining about Winnipeg office.
 
Hi Guys,
If any one could help by answering, I'll be grateful.

I applied under OID stream from Sinp and have been nominated already. I filed my details in non express entry portal this Feb.

I'm about to resign the organisation in India and would like to know if I need to further communicate it to Sinp or Federal government.
 
No, it is for people that get assigned the Winnipeg office as their Primary Visa Office (PVO), but I am not sure how to check what office your file got assigned to.
You can check through GCMS notes pr through agent on call .
Primary Visa Office (PVO)
Main office responsible for your PR processing
For inland PNP applicants, common PVOs are:
  • CPC-Ottawa (CPC-O) – Handles many inland non-Express Entry PNP applications.
  • Edmonton, Vancouver, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Windsor – These offices often take over after initial completeness check by CIO (Sydney, NS).
  • Centralized Intake Office (CIO-Sydney) – Not a PVO but does the initial intake and completeness check for non-Express Entry applications
Your PVO is where your application is actively assessed for:
  • Eligibility
  • Medicals, Criminality, and Security
  • Final Decision
  • You can find the PVO in:
  • GCMS notes (under “Assigned Office” or “Primary Office”)

a Secondary Visa Office (SVO) Inland
Even though you’re in Canada, IRCC can assign an SVO for several reasons:
1.
You Have a Dependent Outside Canada

If your spouse, partner, or child is outside Canada, their part of the application may be processed by a visa office in their country or region (e.g., New Delhi, Manila, etc.).

Your Country of Nationality Requires Overseas Verification

Sometimes, even for inland applicants, IRCC assigns an SVO in your country of citizenship or last residence for:
  • Verifying foreign documents (marriage, education, police certificates)
  • Background/security checks in collaboration with local agencies
3.
Workload Distribution

IRCC may transfer parts of an application to visa offices with more capacity — this is rare but possible.
