I am in the same situation, from QC, passport sent 11th march, delivered to them next day. Since then no news, my demand is still not approved in both Ecas and GCKey. Before sent I was told that the delay was 4 to 6 weeks, it will complete 4 weeks tomorrow. But after this we had all the ruptures caused by covid-19 so I'm wondering if they working. My work permit expires 3 june and I decided to renew it because I don't know if I will be able to become my PR in 2 months even if I'm in final steps. That's a difficult situation, I hope the best for us !
You need to raise a web form with explanation of the situation about permit expiration. They suppose to let you do landing before it or give the other instructions. At least it is said at the official portal. Just raise the web form and follow the instructions.
And I would wait till the last day of permit. You can apply for extension 24 hours before it will expire. Why to be in a hurry?
I did it, I sent them a web form and they answer me that it is important to keep my temporary status while I am not PR (a generic answer, sadly they don't have time to analyze every web form). Then I sent a demand to renew my work permit las week, I feel more secure like that because if I don't get to become PR until june at least I have a demand in process to renew my work permit so I can stay working (implicit status).
you were right to renew it. ircc has no obligation to get it back to anyone before temp status expires. you have the obligation to not go out of status. you likely wont hear back about extension before getting passport back but applying was the right thing. even if you get visa/copr back tomorrow, with everything going on, the chances of you landing/officially becoming pr by June 3 are low. sorry you had to spend the extra $.
I also think that was the best option. I should have done the same.
Unfortunately, I had to renew my passport before sending it to Ottawa and didn't scan it before sending it. I don't even have my passport information now to apply for my visa extension or an ETA. I will have to cross my fingers and hope that my passport will be back before May 25th. or I don't know what I will do.
No Change. Mine was received by SCI Schuiteboer on 13th March. I guess due to COVID19 IRCC is working with a very very low workforce and prioritizing applications with more emergency/critical circumstances (example: people whose passport/work permit is about to expire or other similar situations).
