I have got the OINP - international graduate stream and applied for Non express PR. My nomination certificate mentioned employer restricted. should i apply for closed work permit? My current open work permit is valid till end of 2026? Anyone can shed some light on it or are in similar situation?
Hi, you don't have to apply for a closed work permit if you don't need it. In my case, I applied to closed work permit because my son went to the University and I couldn't still paying as international student and I found there is an exception for domestic fee if one of you parent have a closed work permit you can pay as domestic student.

Hello @Miss bee , I received today a letter requesting to update all the forms I sent back in December but they only gave me 7 days to fill it, If I send all the information requested (basically update of paystubs, letter of employment and travel history), do you think this is a good sign? Do they request this to everyone?

It’s good sign that there is officer working on your application. Not everyone gets this requests but this doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with your application. Send them all form asap.

I`ve have lost my hopes on this PR process... It`s so unfair. We took 2 years to be nominated by BCPNP and then we applied with nomination in a Non express entry paper based PR. We applied in February 2023,
AOR August 2023.
Everything is green expect the background check for my spouse that is going on since november 2023.
We paid thousands of dollars for this process it`s definetely not free. The service is horrendous. This is not a first world service should look like. CBSA and IRCC should respect us.
We have no criminal record, provided all documents and we are living in Canada for 4 years... They are checking internal stuff in CBSA for an year. They already have all the information and never make a decision. I contacted MP everything and it`s no use. I hope you guys have a better luck.

I also see a lot of people that is really anxious about 2024 aplications... I hope not, but it can potentially take years, so be mentally prepared for the worse...

Looks like you are stuck under comprehensive security check. Try to order your GCMS and CBSA notes . Unfortunately if you are under security check, it’s not done by IRCC and it’s conducted by CBSA and CSIS which is third party. IRCC can’t speed up or force these parties to fasten up the process.

I have a simple question, does everyone need to go through the background check? How long does it normally need?

Yes everyone goes through background checks. Background checks depends on various factors and can take 1 month to couple of years.
