@legalfalcon
I was on Work Permit in Toronto from March2018 to July 2018. I am now back in India and recently got an invite from Ontario for EE.
My AOR is 16nov and current status shows to be Medical Passed or IP1 as they say.
So my question here is that I do not work for that employer anymore but I have a valid work permit and Temporary residence visa in my passport valid until Nov 2019.
Can I travel to Toronto in March as I need to attend my friend's wedding. Would it affect my PR process in any way ?

Your reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you do not have an open work permit, you can enter Canada on a work permit only if you are working for the employer. If not, then you will have to take a visitor's visa. If you already have a TRV, you can enter canada.

Travelling to Canada or any other country, with a valid visa has no impact on the processing of your PR application.

Thank you for the timely response and pieces of advice. I really appreciate it.
Please I need further clarification on the bolded. Indeed it's not his application and I do not have any intention to support his application for sibling points in the future. But just to be sure, are you saying we could have birthdays at 3 months apart as siblings and no questions asked by IRCC?



I would love above anything else to get the record straight, however, as in this instance, the VO disregarded a genuine legal documents obtained with false information (adopted parents who obtained an authentic birth certificate showing they are biological parents). Would my certificates, transcripts and passport fair any better?
What you are referring to is a sponsorship application, which is different from your PR application. If you have a genuine issue, you should truthfully mention it. As long as you have it explained, you are all good. Also, if you do mention your DOB and your sibling's which may be within 6 months, IRCC will not ask questions, because it is your application, and IRCC has no business to find it you or your sibling were adopted etc.

It is your application with your documents.

Hi again,

@legalfalcon

Thanks for the reply. There was one charge that was not prosecuted and therefore no conviction so I am hesitant about that one. As such, if criminality and security is passed does that indicate that any criminal inadmissibility issues have been overcome?

Thanks.
If you were never prosecuted, then there is no question or criminal inadmissibility.

Hi @legalfalcon ,
My previous employer , just gave a general reliving letter without roles and responsibilities. I sent them email asking for the same, but they replied that they don't provide such information. Could you please let me know, if I can get my colleague to write the same on plain paper and get it notarized. would that work?
Yes, you can do that and it will work. However, you will have to include a LoE stating that your employer refused to provide a letter with the job duties. Also, you will be better off if you provide additional supporting documents with your work reference letters, such as offer letter, IT returns etc.

Sir @legalfalcon I am Indian citizen and my pic dated Oct 2018. Should I get latest one now? My score is 466 and put my file in pool on 12 Jan 2019.thanku in advance
The picture that you submit should be a recent one, and with recent, should not be more than 3 months old.

Good day @legalfalcon ,
I would highly appreciate it if you could shade some light on the average waiting time between remed and ppr issuance
SS started in May, 2018.
Remed request in Dec 17, 2018 based on phone call and an email received from the VO. The calling officer clearly said that once the remed is cleared we will call you to bring passport and photo to get your visa.
Remed done the next day
Remed passed Dec 21, 2018, I'm still waiting for the golden mail.
The remed request email stated that remed must be done withing 30 days after receiving the notice.
Thank you in advance,
Usually 2-6 weeks.

@legalfalcon and all,
Please we need your help. We received the above from Accra VO some days ago for interview convocation. What we noticed from the above is that the principal applicant is the only one required to attend the interview (Though we plan going together) with no instruction for accompanying spouse. In our recent GCMS notes, it stated that Client has Accompanying Spouse as No(Which should be Yes). I hope they are trying to separate my family. Please, what do you think about this and what do suggest we do. We are FSW applicant.

Thanks in advance.
The family can go, however, this interview is to determine eligibility and not your marriage. Even if the family is permitted, you may be interviewed separately.

Extensive travel history

Hello folks, first, good luck to everyone still waiting for your PPR. I have a question specifically for those of you that had extensive travel histories to find out whether your PPR was affected or delayed in any way.

I had roughly 100 international trips in the last 10 years, which I meticulously reported in the Travel History section of my application. The distribution of my travel by geography is 50% in the Schengen area, 15% to the US, about 25% to Asia (incl. China), and the final 10% to Mexico, South America, Africa and the Middle East. The distribution by purpose of travel is 75% for work, and 25% for tourism. I was only required to produce upfront PCCs for the UK and India, which I did.

1. Should I preemptively apply for a US PCC? (Not requested upfront, but I did live in the US for 8 years up to Sept 2007.)

2. I am floating a theory (for which I'm trying to find proof): The broader your travel the richer your file is in terms of data points and international info sharing, which adds confidence to your profile, I suppose?

Hi @legalfalcon

Just wanted to get your opinion on sth. My application has crossed 9 months already. And till date my application shows "We are reviewing your eligibility." Also says we havent started background check yet.

And having written to CIC they asked to get in touch local visa office in my country of residence. And having written to the local visa office (High Commission), they have confirmed that application is being processed in my country of residence in queue for officers review.

The fact that the application has reached the visa office here-is that any sign of progress?

I have already ordered GCMS notes once, and it doesnt really reveal any red flags or major issues with application, nor does it confirm that eligibility etc met

Any suggestions or idea?

Hi LegalFalcon,
  • Can you please advise if AIPP is the best route for somone not able to secure points for EE or PNP?
  • If yes, any suggestion on how to proceed with AIPP ?
  • How can one get a job from the designated employer listed in the AIPP?
  • Do you provide any professional/paid services for someone planning for AIPP?
Regards..

1. You only need the PCCs where you no longer reside, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant stayed in that country for 6 months or more in a row. If you want to get a US PCC, you can do so, but is not required unless specifically requested by IRCC.

2. Your theory is baseless and this is not how BGCs are done.

I got an ITA on 19th december and am in process of collecting all the documents. I will most probably submit all my doucments by next week as everything is in the final stage of getting uploaded.

I am currently in melbourne australia on student visa and as a part of PCC requirement of australia I also have to submit full traffic history report. I got the same on 21st december and also the pcc from AFP.

Unfortunately I was yesterday flashed at a red light and am prettt sure I will get a fine in my mail in next few weeks. I will pay the fine as and when it comes and am planning to update the cic about it once it comes and I have paid for it through webform. I will also provide new traffic history report to be on safe side in background check.

I just wanted to understand if this is the correct approach and I am covering everything and not misrepresenting myself. Also does a red light infringement notice make you inadmissible to canada? Please guide
