I had a lawyer put my application together, yes. You can work if your work permit is still valid. Under PRRA, you can renew or apply for a work permit with no issues. If reporting to CBSA, it might be trickier. Maybe others in that situation can advise on that.

I was offered PRRA before applying for H&C which gave me status until I received AIP. Some people have a TRP, others are reporting to CBSA monthly. It depends on your situation.

Maybe the CEC stream if they have one year's Canadian work experience? I heard that's coming back this year.

The PGWP expired and the renewal application was rightly refused because the applicant has no status. There is nothing to review, the applicant would only be wasting consultation fees talking to a lawyer about JR for this. It's pretty clear cut. Unless they get their AIP, the WP application will...

Hi, How long after sending in the requested forms did you get the first portal email please?

EI won't be approved without a valid work permit.

It has no effect on processing times.

You can. Ask if any part of the background check is in progress: criminality, security or info sharing. Did she say if any of the other parts (biometrics, medical and eligibility) have started, is in progress or passed? They don't volunteer information, you have to ask very specific questions if...

Call the IRCC support center (18882422100) 8am local time. Any later and you won't be able to get through. Follow the prompts until the end and speak to an agent. Have your application number ready as well. Tell the agent you want to know what stages have been passed in your application ( the...

It doesn't hurt. Some people (myself included) like to submit as much as they can upfront in the hopes of speeding up processing. Ultimately the decision lies with you.

It's expired. The exemption policy is for 5 years.

You can travel to your home country and back. Can't guarantee an officer won't ask you questions but even if they do, it won't be an issue once they check and see you got your PR through H&C and you aren't a protected person.

I can only guess. If biometrics have been done and received, medicals received and passed, eligibility (stage one approval) might be next. Again, just going based on what I have read here and online. Only the officers know for sure.

Since you submitted the PCCs, it makes sense that they started info sharing before AIP. It might remain in progress until you get final approval. Because you still have to pass security and that info will also be shared, then decision made and final approval. Best of luck!

Not too sure about this one. Did you submit PCCs for these countries with your application? If the countries are part of The Five Eyes (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US and UK) it's possible they are still doing the checks because these countries share information with each other.

In cases where you have only been to your home country and Canada, info sharing can start before AIP. Especially if you included your PCC from home country in the application. If you have a travel history outside Canada and home country, they will likely start info sharing again after AIP and...

No, they have access to those decisions already.

I don't think so. Just because there are sanctuary provinces like Ontario where your kids can go to school without status. So they might argue that you have the choice of moving there. Just like they use IFA to reject refugee cases.

From reading through this thread, I believe you may request for priority processing under extenuating circumstances. Before submitting your application, cases with family violence or abuse can be indicated on the application envelope (paper application only. For online applications, maybe a...

Hoping we all get positive updates this new week.
