    Just quick clarification required on this: Do I need to provide a Canadian Police Certificate for the police check, since the requirements state that you have to provide a police certificate from the country you have been residing in for the previous six months? I was under the impression this...

    Hello. I just received an initial email from CIC, informing me of my application number and unique client identifier (I sent in my application about a month ago). The message then asked me to create an online account and link my application to that account within 7 days. I created the account...

    Hello All, I am completing the open work permit form, which will accompany my main application. Do the question on "Duration of Expected Employment" (page 3) I am actually currently on a work permit, so I assume I request the start date for the open work permit to commence on the day after the...

    I am intending to submit my application next week. My status in Canada is currently covered by a work permit that expires in February 2019. Having said that, would it still be in my best interest to apply for an Open Work Permit with my application, in case the processing time for PR runs...

    Thanks for the reply. So, would I be right in saying that would be: Country: Canada Status: Worker Start date: February 2016 (that was the date the Post-Graduate Work Permit began; I had been in Canada continuously since January 2014, firstly as a student)

    Graduate Work Permit Query

    Just a quick update. I got through to CIC. They said that as far as they are concerned there shouldn't be an issue re-entering the country, as long as I return within the 90-day period after I receive my letter of completion. However, at the end of the day it is up to the immigration officer I...

    Graduate Work Permit Query

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It seems to me that this plays into the old "immigration officer's discretion" argument, and that if I left I probably would have little problem reentering the country in February. However, in a small number of cases the individual immigration official dealing with...

    Does this apply even though I am not on implied status? My student permit is valid until 31st March 2016, and I still have to come back for graduation.
