My application was received on May 8 from outside. Till now, I have not received my fn. I paid for the fee by my credit card in advance. Many people who sent their applications to Cio later than me have received their fns. I forgot to add my studying period to Background declaration, which says that without this missing period, my application will be delayed. Could they return my application for such a lapse? I am realllly worried about it. Help me, guys. Thanks a lot! Undecided :o

if there is no payment issue (if you paid online then nothing to worry about) and have signed all necessary forms then you should expect EP in this week.

VictorPapa so we can conclude that CIO now giving direct AOR to Outland and XEP to inland applicant??

OR it's jut a messed up situation in CIO mixed everything up and sending XEP or EP in random basis without any future plan >:(

What do you think? :)

YES, at the moment I think CIO is sending XEP for Inland applications and direct EP for Outland applications! We can see CIO is trying to keep their 8 weeks time frame. If they finish one application within 8 weeks then they send direct EP (OUtland) and if they don't finish application within 8 weeks then they send XEP to say "Hey, we didn't forget you! We will finish your application soon!!!" and this situation happens for many of Inland applications. ;)

I think this is a very good decision CIC made to expedite Outland applicants because when you are already inside Canada and you are living there, receiving PR is not a big deal at all because it is only a change of status and you already living there and have your rules in Canada's economy but for Outland applicants it will be a new life with a lot of new opportunities so I think CIC is trying to help outland applicants enter Canada sooner to improve their economy but Inland applicants already have their rules in Canada's economy and with new PR situation there won't be any improvement for Canada at all! ;D

What do you think?

Maybe it is not a big deal for government and economy, but for inland applicants its a life important! Especially those ones who applied under employer driven stream. We cant change job, we cant choose city we want to live in, we have to work shifts we dont choose, and many others things we cant because we all tied to an employer and it feels very depressive to be not a free person in a free country. I know its our choice and nobody has forced us to come here but i had no other choice. I d rather wait pr at home if I had an option.


I again called today to ask what is XEP and why im not getting it and people who applied after me are getting it. It seems they have no clue about xep or ep. They keep replying "wait 18 weeks". Like robots.

It possibly could also be a reason- inland applicants backlog from Ottowa case processing unit still not eliminated completely. So they are taking sometime by delaying the AOR (giving XEP initially) so that they can eliminate the backlog completely and process newer application promptly.

Its actually much more stressful than waiting in your own country. As Anatalia said many are tied to one employer and the same position with that employer. My BF couldn't take a promotion if he wanted one without going through a big hassle of getting a new WP and letting PNP know.

Making any changes could slow down the process even more. Also for many people time is important if they are getting close to 4 years of being here on a WP then they may not be able to apply for an extension after that 4 years and if their nomination is based on their employment and can no longer work they can loose their nomination and thus be refused PR

Also any kind of travel outside of Canada while you are waiting for PR is not advisable. My BF is very home sick and would like to go home for a visit but can't because he is an inland applicant.

In land applicants are trapped while they wait (Trapped with their employer, trapped in Canada) and have the constant stress of not knowing if they will even get their next WP and be able to work while they wait. As well for some knowing if they don't get a WP that their entire PR application could be refused. Also the fear that if for some reason PR is not approved then it means that they have spent years away from their family in a job they didn't want to stay in for nothing.

Sometimes its very hard for my BF to feel settled because there is the fear that something won't go right. If he doesn't get PR by mid February then he needs to get another WP. Based on current rules he should be able to get a BOWP but we can't count on them not changing rules again. And just having to apply for another WP is stressful.

At least while you are at home in your own country you aren't dealing with the stresses of having to constantly get new work permits (my BF is on his 3rd already) in order to be able to work. You don't have to miss your family and friends. You can just live your life knowing all you have to do is wait and eventually it will happen and when it does you can start your life here freely.
