Hi All! My first PR card is about to expire (became PR in Oct 2018) and I am filling out the renewal application. I have a lot of travel history between USA and Canada and have barely met the residency obligation (about 700 days since Oct 2018 with the rest before Oct this year). I am a little...

I have been a PR of Canada since May 2018. I have spent about a little more than 1 year total in Canada since then and today. I plan on returning in May this year. I am not sure about the how the residency requirement is supposed to work but at the time of arrival, do I need to prove that I will...

I am asking on behalf of a newly arrived couple. This couple crossed into Canada through the Windsor border in June 2018 as they had relatives in Canada. Their asylum application was successful and in Dec 2018 they were given protected person status. They applied for permanent residence and are...

Hi Folks, I am writing this update a bit late as I received my PPR and immigrant visa stamp in August! Just wanted to thank this forum and post my timeline and other app specs in case this information may help some other people with similar applications. Here are my details: Program: FSW -...

Is "Recommend passed" a good sign on GCMS notes? Does this mean that so far they are satisfied with my file?

I applied to the FSW-O stream. I am a foreign student in USA and my medicals passed about 2.5 months ago. I have been stuck in IP1 for a long time now and I am getting nervous. I have seen people breeze through the IP1 stage! Is it possible that my file is still being processed or is the length...

Are there any options for appeal for people who were able to successfully enter based in Safe Third Country Agreement but had their application refused?

Hi All, I know of a couple that recently arrived in USA but has not relative here and wants to cross into Canada through land border to apply for safe third country exception. The lady in this couple has a sister in canada who is a citizen so the third country treaty applies to her. The...

I got my AOR 2 months ago. I am still in IP1. I had some unexpected expenditures and my bank balance fell below about $1000 CAD of the required amount. My pay will increase soon and I expect to recover my balance in about 45 days and intend to keep it about $2000 above the minimum requirement...

My medicals were cleared yesterday but it is still showing online that my background and eligibility are being reviewed. I was under the impression that background and eligibility get passed as soon as medicals get passed. If they havent been passed, is that an issue? Is there a delay possible...

Hi all. I recently applied for EE - FSE outland and my e-APR was on march 10th. In my letter of explanation I mentioned for my proof of finances that I am attaching a letter from the bank aling with bank statements and I have a a credit card with an overall outstanding balance of $40. I did not...

Hi All. I have a weird situation. I am applying for the FSW program and I want to claim points for NOC 4012 ( Post-secondary teaching and research assistants). I was a Teaching assistant for 9 months, then a Research Assistant for 3 months and then a Teaching Assistant again for 7 months. This...

Hi All. I got an ITA as a graduate Research/Teaching assistant (NOC 4012). I was a Teaching assistant for 8 months, a Reasearch assistant for 3 months and then a teaching assistant for 7 months. NOC 4012 is for post secondary research/teaching assistants. Will the fact that I have 2 titles be an...

Hi All, I have trying to find the right answer to this question but am still confused. If I have a ITA and go for a medical check, can they call me for a follow up medical check even if I have not submitted the application? I am pretty sure that I will required to do additional testing for TB...

I know that it is unwise to do medicals before ITA, but given my circumstances time wise, I may have to do that. If I get the medicals done pre ITA, will I be told of any follow up medical checks also before the application submission? My main concern is time and I am sure that I will get a...

Hey guys. I will be applying soon and will be getting a medical exam. I am sure that I will be referred to a TB expert after my chest xray. I know they need to take the sputum test + xray after 3 months. I am currently in USA and will be moving back to my home country shortly after the...

I am applying under 1 full year of work as a teaching assistant/research assistant. Those were my official titles. They do not exactly match the titles listed on the NOC 4012 site. My employer letter will clearly state that I worked as an assistant as a PhD student. Will this be enough? Or does...

I recently received an ITA and apart from the USA PCC, I am all set to apply. I wanted to know if I can apply right now with an explanation that I have applied for PCC for USA and will upload when I get that. This way the ball can get rolling on the application and my app is not sitting idly...

I intend to apply by mid Feb 2018. My test scores expire in May 2018 and I will be leaving USA in May 2018 as well. I would have submitted the valid test scores and PCC by the time of the application. Would a change in my address or the expiration of my test scores result in issues if the...

I have been trying to find the right answer for this. I called the police stations near me and they seemed confused and unwilling to help. Can I just get the fingerprint card and fill it out myself? I will make sure that I carefully roll the prints.
