    Super Visa - anyone applied as yet?

    Hi guys, I have a question regarding the insurance for Parents Supervisa. Has anyone had a successful experience of getting a refund after your parents left Canada to go back home? My parents are only planning to stay with us a month or two, but I still want to try and apply for a Supervisa...

    Super Visa - anyone applied as yet?

    Thanks for this link @Jets13 - it's the first time I'm seeing this page. This is what got me confused: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/parent-grandparent-super-visa/apply.html But I managed to get through to a CIC agent today and they told me...

    Super Visa - anyone applied as yet?

    @Jets13 yes it does except it doesn't work - I keep getting the "Temporary Visitor" option. Has anyone else here recently applied for a super visa online? Could you guys offer any insights into what could be a problem? We have all the documents ready and are now just sitting on them because...

    Super Visa - anyone applied as yet?

    @Midwest thank you very much for your answer! How long ago were you doing this? I didn't see the option of staying for "1-2 years". There is only "less than 6 months", "more than 6 months" and "permanently" - none of them seem to work for super visa... I'm wondering if I'm making a mistake elsewhere

    Super Visa - anyone applied as yet?

    Hi guys, Can anyone help and explain how to start a super visa application online for parents? (I am a PR). Can't seem to be able to receive the right configuration through "Come to Canada" tool. First I tried using my own CIC profile - didn't work very well since to get to the question of...

    ECAS first time trying to access, PR approved

    Hi, is anyone else experiencing problems accessing ECAS? At which point is it supposed to be active/available? I first tried to log in after I had already received my CoPR but before landing - it didn't work. Now that I have landed it's still not working.

    Rainbow Bridge PR Landing FAILED

    I landed in Sarnia on the weekend. It's a bit of a drive from Toronto, but glad it's done now. It was a bit weird on the US side because they actually made us leave the car with the keys in it (not sure whether they searched the car) and wait in line at the office. They seemed a bit confused by...

    URGENT: CBSA restriction on flagpoling

    Hey guys, In the light of CBSA restriction on flag-poling wanted to share my experience of an unsuccessful landing "attempt" last night. All 4 bridges in Niagara were turning people away last night. We ended up trying our luck at Queenston bridge and failed. We arrived there at 12:40-ish am...

    ECAS first time trying to access, PR approved

    Hi guys, I have just received my passport back with CoPR and am about to do my landing this coming weekend. I have never ever logged into ECAS - somehow that was never on my radar, always used myCIC before. Now I am trying to make sure CIC has my address up to date without any discrepancies...

    Thank you! Just to clarify - by AOR I mean the letter you get in your account within the next 24h after submitting e-APR. Still good?

    Hi again, I received my AOR email yesterday, but in order to get to the Open Work Permit application through the CIC questionnaire I had to actually answer YES to the following question: Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in...

    Changes to EE profile after recieving ITA

    I know about implied status and have already been on it once. How would you suggest I receive it in my current case? Paper-based work permit extension application?

    Changes to EE profile after recieving ITA

    Yes I am considering re-entering the pool right now. I would rather much be 100% safe. The only problem is that my current PGWP is expiring on March 7 and my employer could not and can not get an LMIA for me... So I was really counting on applying for BOWP. Now it's all up in the air...

    Changes to EE profile after recieving ITA

    ITA received - Jan.25 - lowest ranked score invited in that draw = 453 points Score upon invitation - 505 points My actual score (according to my calculations) 505 points - 13 points (that I got for mistakenly adding 1 more year or work experience) = 492 points Called CIC twice today - both...
