http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=189&top=17Finally, I reached agent this morning. She said everything is good and waiting for the final review and decision, it will be done in next two months.....WTF, next two months? Totally over 20months waiting? I lost my patience, hope my BOWP is coming soon, my full time company is still holding my last two weeks wages and they will deposit it for me until I update my SIN, even I told them my work status is "implied status" and it is legal!! I really want leave them and fly to see my grandma, she is gravely sick outside Canada, don't want to miss her since those stupid CIC officers..... Jan 12 app~~~
check this out bro, I have been through same situation. They can not hold your pay , you are legally allowed to work on the same SIN if you have applied for the extension before the expiry date and no body can hold your pay. If they are you are legally allowed to report this to the Service Canada, they can get in touch with the employer. hope this helps you. I wish for the speedy recovery and healthy life of your grandma. Prayers
