Hi all,
I am a Turkish national with a valid PGWP. I finished my Bachelor's degree in Vancouver and found a full-time job right after. I left for vacation in Korea this December but since I didn't apply for a TRV before leaving Canada I wasn't able to board my plane to Vancouver (I explained this situation via webform). It was poor planning on my part and I'm hoping to get my re-entry visa soon. I applied for a TRV as a returning worker on December 24th with the documents below:
- Complete IMM5257E and IMM5257B forms
- Copy of my work permit (it goes until 06/2021)
- Digital photograph (taken within the past 6 months)
- A single PDF that includes a scanned biopage from my current passport, entry stamps for Canada within the past 5 years (they were in my old passport), a valid non-immigrant US visa (B1/B2), entry stamp for US dated for October 2018, entry stamp for US dated for June 2010 (sent via webform), entry stamp for Korea (sent via webform)
- Explanation of the situation and documents including a letter from my employer with my income and role, pay stubs for the past 3 months, softcopy of a lease for my apartment in Vancouver
Manila office is processing the application and it says that 17-18 days are required for the processing. I sent separate emails explaining my situation to the Manila office.
Since December 24, there have not been any updates for my application. I only saw 'Application/profile updated' after a day or two but since then there is absolutely nothing. I saw Bryanna's comment about ghost updates and I was hoping to get an update soon but there is absolutely nothing. I asked Manila office if they would consider processing my application under CAN+ program. I'm stuck in Korea and even though my current employer in Canada allows me to work remotely I just don't know when I'll be able to get my visa. I can only stay here until March 3rd and if my visa doesn't come until then I have no idea about what to do. Anyone who had been in a similar situation before? Please help.
