I just talked to a CIC agent, and he confirmed that there is no implied status for PR applicants. They should have a legal status in canada while doing flagpoling, means they have to apply for permit extension before doing the flagpoling.

He said that implied status will be considered only if the applicant have applied for the extension of their stay and its in processing(no decision made yet for permit extension), but in the mean time the applicant receives PR. Then only border will consider that as an implied status.

In all other cases, the applicant needs to have a legal status.

100% correct you don't have to call CIC to confirm that. I have spoken to 4 different border guys and all of them said the same thing as long as you are in Canada and have applied for a extension you can continue to work and do you normal day to day stuff except you cannot leave cannot until and unless a decision is made. As soon as you do that your implied status will then be revoked and you cannot enter Canada back. Besides if you guys have already submitted your file for the PR got the nomination and are just waiting for them to process your file. What harm is it going to do to apply for a work permit extension or even a new work permit. Better safe than sorry

Was there any record in her police certificate?

You may want to find the other keywords like: adverse, criminality decision on hold, additional info required, or so...
Since it's brought forwarded anyway, the case will be reviewed in security stage again if you have any problem.

In my case, I had one, which deemed to be rehab. I attached court records.
I also know a case that the PA got requested to go through rehab process, which took another 6 months. As soon as he got approved rehab, his decision was made.

She does not have any record on her police certificates. Here is a text from her GCMS-notes:

Criminality. PA............Spouse/Common Law : - Police certificates: - Ukraine: POTENTIAL ADVERSE INFORMATION. - Denmark: No reportable trace. - USA: No reportable trace. Police certificates on file. Criminality decision on hold - Additional information required.

My guess is next one, Police certificate from her home country - UKRAINE was issued in March and she came to Canada on July. So maybe, CIC wants to be make sure that she did not do anything bad in period of time from March to July. The police certificate was issued on Ukrainian language and it was translated on English in Ukraine. Maybe CIC does not trust to the company and notary who did a translation. They did not ask me to provide any new certificate or information. But I see that additional information is required. Probably they do their own investigation.

Do you think this means that my application could be delayed through this thing?

The question is how will you do flagpoling, if you have no status in canada when the PR comes, shouldn't you need to have a legal status in canada to do the flagpoling??

My best friend just did landind 1 week ago by land she went to coutts.
They just ask her for passports anf obce she was inside office they requested the Confrimation of Permanent Residence and all the past expire and last valid (if the case) of work permits as gov will kept them and destroy.

Actually she wadnt ask for status...they seem not to care abt that.

Is this written somewhere on the cic website?? coz i'm skeptical that we can flagpole with no status in canada. Also my permit expires in april 2017 and I'm planning to renew it next month. PR is still in processing and expecting MR by next month.

So as per you are saying i don't need to extend the permit??

If im you i will extend wp...dont take the risk.
Is better to spent lil extra money than loose other things...
Plus u need a ep to keep working that is for sure and that is written in cic webpage somewhere!

My friend just did flagpolling she was just asked for passport conf of permanent residence and all the past wp so they can keep them and destroy...but seems they didnt care abt having a status.

All notes are in system...IRCC office write notes on our files...u can see that if u request gscms notes.

Thank you.

Still Oct, Nov, Dec applicants are waiting for PPR and they slowed down again. For now I am waiting 3months after medical and even my background is still not needed. I would say probably around 4-5 months.
