Submitted September 13. No update until today.
Hi everyone, it seems that main focus is on inland CEC applicants or the PNP applicants who are applying from inside Canada.
Is there anyone who has applied for PR from outside Canada through non EE PNP and has received FD or PR in the last month or so?
Please confirm.

Hey @BakoCanada,
It is not necessary to stick with the same employer, but you need to keep in mind that if you change jobs, you must inform PNP and IRCC about the change. You should also require an Employer Form, job offer, etc. from the new employer.
Based on your timeline and the OINP International Student stream, here are some considerations:
1. General Processing Timeline for OINP PR Applications
• After receiving your AOR in August, the typical timeline for PR processing (especially for PNP streams) is around 12–18 months from the application submission date. Since you applied in April 2024, your application may receive finalization by mid-to-late 2025, but this can vary depending on case complexity and IRCC’s processing speed.
• It’s common for applications to have long periods without updates between the AOR and other key milestones (e.g., medical passed, background check initiation, final decision).
2. Express Entry as a Backup
• If you are eligible for Express Entry (EE), applying as a backup can be a wise move. EE applications generally process faster (6–8 months post-AOR), especially under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
• Since you already have a valid work permit until December 2025, you won’t face immediate status issues and can wait for updates on your current application while exploring EE as a parallel pathway.
3. Obligation to Stay with Your Employer
• Under the OINP International Student stream, you are not legally obligated to remain with your current employer while your PR application is in process. However, it’s often advisable to stay:
• To avoid complications if IRCC decides to review your eligibility against your original nomination.
• To ensure continuity and good standing with the job offer used to secure the nomination
Recommendations:
1. Monitor Your PR Application:
• Continue tracking your application via the IRCC GCKey portal and consider linking it to the PR Tracker for additional transparency.
2. Explore EE Backup:
• Check your CRS score and eligibility for EE. If competitive, creating a profile can ensure a faster path if selected.
3. Employer Flexibility:
• Staying with your employer is a safer choice, but if a change is necessary, ensure your new role aligns with the same skill type/level as your original nomination.
4. Patience with Updates:
• PR processing for PNP streams is often slower, but having a valid work permit until 2025 gives you significant flexibility.
For Job change-
Yes, if you decide to leave your current employer, you should inform your PNP office as it could impact your nomination. Here’s why and how to approach it
1. Why You Should Inform the PNP Office
• Job Offer as Basis for Nomination: The OINP International Student Stream is a job-offer-based stream. Your nomination was likely tied to the employer and job you specified in your application.
• Compliance Requirement: Most PNP programs require you to notify them of significant changes, including employment changes, to maintain the integrity of your nomination.
• Risk of Nomination Revocation: If OINP finds out about a job change independently, it could jeopardize your nomination or PR application if they believe the new job doesn’t meet the program’s requirements.
2. Steps to Inform OINP
• Contact OINP: Email the OINP office and explain the situation, providing:
• Your file number.
• Details of the new employer and job.
• Assurance that the new job is of the same skill level (NOC code) and meets all program requirements.
• Submit Updated Documents: If OINP requests proof, provide:
• A new job offer letter.
• Employer documents (e.g., LMIA exemption if applicable).
• Updated proof of residence in Ontario (if required).
3. Changing Jobs Safely
• Ensure the new job meets the OINP requirements (e.g., full-time, permanent, within Ontario, same NOC code or skill level).
• Confirm with an immigration consultant or lawyer before resigning from your current position to minimize risks.
4. Impact on PR Application
• Once your PR application is with IRCC, OINP’s role is more limited, but IRCC can still request confirmation of your nomination’s validity.
• Keeping OINP updated ensures they support your PR file if IRCC verifies your employment details.
Key Tip:
If the job change is temporary or you’re unsure about the eligibility of your new position, staying with your current employer until PR approval is the safest option.
Which province and what job you applied.?
NS, Construction
With dependents you applied.?
Yes
What your PVO and SVO..?
Not sure, did not check.

Hi

Have you noticed *NOT APPLICABLE* Status any time in GC KEY.?
Hi Miss Bee,
My PR application is under comprehensive security check. My current work permit and my child’s study permit will expire in June 2025. I am preparing to apply our permits extension. My passport will expire in 2031, but my child’s passport will expire in March 2026. So, will our new permits only be able to extend to March 2026 since my child’s passport will expire at that time? Please advise and guide me what should I do. Thanks.

Please advise and guide me what should I do. Thanks.
I had a confirm job offer on the basis of which I got the PNP nomination. I have never been in Canada and my PR application was filed by a consultant in Canada who has the main application access. However, I can see the info on PR tracker.
I have not found the PVO in the ADR letter but the wording was as such:
"We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents:"
Can you please let me know if this wording indicates anything.
Secondly, my main question in the beginning was that based upon the information available on various forums /groups, hardly anyone from outside Canada has got approval in the last month or so and almost all the applications being approved are from inland applicants. Can you please comment on it? If it is true, then it is very concerning.
Based on 1st question in this forum 1 applicant i saw they got PPR and FD in last month if you check on forum
Check *page number 1005* on this forum you can see that applicant detail
When applying for extensions of your permits, the expiry date of your child’s passport will indeed affect the duration of their new study permit. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) generally aligns the validity of permits with the passport expiry date.
1. Renew Your Child’s Passport:
• Renew your child’s passport as soon as possible before applying for the permit extensions. This way, the new passport can provide a longer validity period, and IRCC will issue the permits accordingly.
2. Apply for Permit Extensions Now:
• If you can’t renew your child’s passport before applying for extensions, IRCC will likely issue the study permit until March 2026 (matching the passport’s expiry). Once you renew your child’s passport, you can apply again to extend the study permit to align with your work permit.
3. When Applying for Extensions:
• Ensure you provide clear information about your PR application in progress (e.g., AOR details).
• Include proof of your child’s school enrollment and tuition payment if applicable.
• Include proof of your current job if you are applying for an employer-specific work permit or an open work permit based on your PR status.
4. Timelines:
• Start the passport renewal process immediately if you decide to renew it.
• Apply for the permit extensions 3–4 months before their expiry to ensure timely processing.
