Anyone has suggestions: I have received invitation to apply under the Express Entry. My friends are getting their PRs with 4to6 months. My family sponsorship application is over a year now and no news. Anyone knows whether I can apply under the Express Entry or I have to withdraw my application first?

You cannot have two PR applications in progress. However, withdrawing when you are so close to the end seems silly to me, only to wait longer. I think if I was you, I would find out what stage your sponsorship is at. You may find that you are almost finished.
 
We've been having some pretty sugary Tuesdays, hopefully this is Another one of them! Good luck to everyone that is waiting... praying for great news for all!

I have read contradicting information regarding the implied status in relation to the application for a new type of work permit.

My understanding is that, because it's a different work permit, he would not have the implied status as a worker, so he would have to stop working when the PGWP expires until he gets the OWP. Implied status applies when you renew the same type of permit. However, he would have implied status as a visitor between the time the PGWP expires until receiving the OWP.

However, as you applied for the OWP on June 3, it's very likely that you will get the OWP before the PGWP expires.


Thank you very much! So there is no need to apply for visitor status in the interim?? I just want to ensure that he remains in status as that is a requirement for the OWP.

Applying for the OWP gives the implied status as a visitor (from the expiration of the current PGWP status until CIC makes a decision on the OWP), so no more steps are needed to keep him in legal status.
 
It looks like you have received the AIP. If you see Decision Made on both sides on ECAS then you`re waiting for your local immig. office to invite you for the landing. You do not need neither medical nor background check for the parents. Decision Made on both sides means usually you`re done. Don`t worry about SA or DM letter. I landed this week and never received AIP or DM letter, just my sponsor received SA. You are at the end of the road IMHO.

Thanks for your help and time. I got another email from cic yesterday:

Your final determination for permanent residence interview has been scheduled at the above address on: September 5, 2017 at 9:00am. Please be prepared to wait up to 2.5 hours as interviews are conducted in order of arrival.

Is this the landing interview? I am still having hard time believing it's done. It all happened so fast within a week's time. We received only the previous email before this one. Thanks to the forum for helping us all.

Thank you. I ordered for the notes. Nothing sustaintial. Background in process, eligibility not started, no SA, no AIP. I mean nothing going on. I think they use couple of days to do this.

congratulations! yes this is your landing. And some people have hard time to believe it, but it really can go fast once they work on a file and your case is another example of that. So for all those waiting, stay positive, your turn will come!
