same brother I applied in April and still didnt get the AOR , however I called service canada and they confirmed that they received the mail 3 days after I sent it, and he said that they are checking my documents if its signed or not and checking the photocopies.
I applied in December 2019 and haven’t heard back yet. Even it’s over 6 months now. I think the pandemic is delaying all processes. I called them and they said yes application received but nothing further.
Did they do background check for work permit? I applied work permit online as a protected person. They did not want me to upload medical document however, my application indicates that "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information. ". Is that normal process for protected person applying for work permit second time? When I applied first time, I was refugee claimant and they wanted me to upload medical document but they did not do background check.
That is ok but it doesn't mean they are working. During the pandemic the work permit section was working with more staff to insure that all work permits be issued in 12 days. The post was in this froum. The fast work permit issueing doesn't mean cic is working
Yes, it is normal. Same happened with me when i applied both as refugee claimant and protected person. I got my latest work permit in march 2020. I had applied in december 2019. Same steps of eligibility and background check everytime.....but i m confused why background check takes so long while processing PR applicstions of protected persons....but in case of work permits background check gets completed in one or two months.
I got my work permit in 1 week. I applied online on June 7th.
they are supporting economy during covid19. encourage to send people to work. well done IRCC
As have been said by the PM and other politicians Canada has an asylum system so that all asylum seekers are judged by the same process. Granting PR for asylum seekers without determining if an applicant was persecuted would be undermining the entire asylum system. Although Canadians should be thankful to all essential workers who have had to work during covid this shouldn’t mean automatic PR for those working as essential workers or approval for all asylum applicants. The request for automatic PR for all asylum seekers or asylum seekers who have worked as PSWs In Quebec creates a lot of issues. If PSWs in Quebec get automatic PR do Uber workers get automatic PR as well? What about delivery drivers? Grocery workers? What about in the rest of Canada’s essential workers would they get automatic PR? If an asylum seeker has been rejected and is appealing or has filed H&C do they also get automatic PR as well? Do other H&C applicants also get automatic PR?
So my background was in process but when the decision got made, it said it in front of background. (Background check was completed).
IRCC can speed up the process for frontline workers. It’s says on their website. They are helping Canada. Frontline workers include citizens, PR holders, temporary workers, protected persons and refugee claimants. Some these category people struggle by both immigration status and covid19
