I have a bad news for you, Im on 19 months since they are doing my background check, comprehensive security with no any update of feedback. My MP did found out that they are doing military verification and irony is that I didn't even been in regular army I did civilian service helping disable persons.
Have you ever ordered CBSA notes to see where they are at?
 
I have a provincial nomination on the basis of a confirmed job offer and my PR application is in process since Apr 2024. I had applied from outside Canada and have already gone through the stages of ADR providing detailed job history and schedule A. Now, my present job contract is completing and I am about to join the next job. Kindly tell me if this job change (in my home country) will affect my PR application and whether I should inform IRCC about that or not.
 
@Miss bee hi,
I have a quick question, I submitted my non-express pnp in july 2024, received AOR in dec, Medical in Jan, since then no update. From the past two months, I have been working on a second job along with my primary job. Although I would be quitting the second job soon, so should I inform IRCC about this job which I did for 2 months or it doesn't matter?

It's doesn't matter however if they requested any form like background decoration form , you should mention in that otherwise no need to inform.

@Miss bee i need your advice as soon as possible. I am currently my back home country since 6 months and i have not updated my address. Doing so would it make my PR file inland to outland? Also what if ircc ask me ADR like paystubs ,bank statements and emplpyment letter as they are mostly asking to everyone before finalizing what should i give them because i am not working and my status has been expired. Am out of status as its in my gcms notes too. An explanation letter would work if i get those Adr too?

1.Will updating your address switch your PR file from Inland to Outland

Yes — potentially.
If you filed an inland PR application, IRCC expects you to remain in Canada while the application is processed. If you update your address to an address outside Canada, this may:
  • Trigger IRCC to reclassify your application as outland, which could lead to delays, a transfer to another visa office, or in some rare cases, refusal if eligibility for inland status was a condition.
  • Raise red flags if they see that you are not physically residing in Canada anymore.Advice: If you’re returning to Canada soon, it may be better not to update your address until you’re back. Inland applications are for those who are physically present and plan to stay until the PR is processed.
2.
If IRCC requests ADR (Additional Documents) like paystubs, bank statements, or employment letters, what should you do?

Since you mentioned:You are not working
  • Your status has expired
  • You’re currently outside Canada
  • GCMS notes show you’re out of status
You may still get ADR, especially to confirm you are genuinely residing in Canada (as required by inland apps).
What to do:
  • Write a detailed Explanation Letter (LOE) explaining:
    • Why you’re currently not working
    • Why you’re out of status
    • Why you had to leave Canada
    • That your intent is still to settle in Canada permanently
    • Any steps you are taking to restore your status (if applicable)
    • If you’ve already applied for restoration or plan to return soon

  • Provide any documents that show ties to Canada:
    • Lease agreement (if still valid)
    • Bank accounts still active
    • OHIP (if still covered)
    • Any correspondence or efforts to maintain ties

If IRCC believes you abandoned your inland application, they can refuse it.

3. Out of Status — What does that mean for your PR application?
For inland applications, you are supposed to maintain valid temporary resident status in Canada. If you’re out of status:
  • It does not automatically cancel your PR application
  • But it weakens your case — especially if IRCC thinks you’re no longer in Canada or have left permanently

Recommended actions:
  • Consider applying for a Visitor Visa to return to Canada if eligible
  • Or apply for restoration of status (within 90 days of losing it, if applicable)
  • When you’re back in Canada, update IRCC and explain your temporary departure
