That's great news on the travel document timing. Did you go to Canadian embassey or consulate to request it?

Canadian embassy

The reason I'm asking is that where my wife is going, there is a canadian consulate but the embassy is in another country. So if my wife were to fall in same situation, can she apply at the consulate instead of embassy.

Good luck and congrats to boredhousewife on her landing today. I am sure it will go well for her.

Thanks mimence777 and those who gave my feedback on the updates on timesheets. The timesheets are never done until it reaches 100% PR completion.

Please continue to provide updates whenever you can when you get a chance. Much appreciated for everyone's contribution.

My PGWP expired last year in september and I had applied for an OWP with my spousal sponsorship before the expiry of my PGWP
and my lawyer said I am on implied status and I havent got my AIP yet and its almost a year since I have been working on implied status.

And also since I qualify for CEC .
I have applied for CEC as well in the meantime.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are illegally working right now. I had a PGWP that expired June 2013 and had to stop working because it expired and I didnt have AIP yet (which should come with an OWP that I submitted). PGWP's aren't extendable therefore you can't work on implied status while waiting for a different type of work permit.

If you had an OWP and it expired but you submitted a new one before it expired you could continue to work because your applying to extend the same work permit. PGWP and OWP are completely separate so you shouldn't be working because you don't have implied status right now.

Lawyers aren't always right when it comes to this stuff....maybe I'm wrong and maybe I can keep working, but I've been told on here before that I did the right thing by being terminated at my job. I'd hate for you to have to pay back all your wages earned illegally, or worse get denied permanent residency because of this...

Can anyone else comment on an expired PGWP and still working past the date because you submitted a different OWP with your PR application?

Hi Screech39, I am sorry I haven't updated the rest of my info with you, I come from Bulgaria, I live in Niagara Falls, I have applied to Vegreville office, hoping soon to get an AIP, the process is really draining, and I may be passing an opportunity for a promotion/new job very shortly too thanks to this long process. :'( How come they were moving so quickly at the beginning of the year and then they stopped (I know about the strike and all but...did every officer stopped working I wonder?!?)...just venting...I congratulate everyone on the DMs and AIPs and interviews and I wish for all of us that are still waiting a quicker process with less setbacks. Anyone who applied in November (16th) I will be waiting to see who gets their AIP first . Best of luck to everyone!

Hi,my application was received on the same day as yours....November 16th!!!!....

A foreign mission (which includes Consulates and Embassies, plus High Commissions and the odd business affairs office) with immigration services can issue a PR travel document. It does not need to be an Embassy.

They have changed the initial assessment to 10 months ..

Yeah, because they gave up insisting that Step1 took 6 months. But, 10 months is the right information. I hope that the date moves forward from 12th to something.

Blooming great my 10 months is the day after my medical runs out!!!

Hello everyone, I submitted my application in Dec 2012 and I received UCi in January 2013. I got CSQ in March, from then on, no news at all....This really drives me crazy .... :'(

Hi guys I received my pr card sometime towards the end of july, around the 20th. And for those of u wanting to travel before receiving their card, you have nothing to worry about. I travelled to my country in June and stayed for a little over 2 weeks, applied for pr travel document which was given to me within 2 days. I had no troubles entering Canada with that document.

Waoo that's great!! Thanks for the answer!!
May i ask what documents do you need to bring to the embassy to apply for the travel document?

 

[screech339]

A foreign mission (which includes Consulates and Embassies, plus High Commissions and the odd business affairs office) with immigration services can issue a PR travel document. It does not need to be an Embassy.

Thanks Computergeek on your answer. They have a 3rd party company called VFS Global company in Albania that is approved for visa/travel document processing however they charge $95 to use their service. It is hard to justify spending $95 for a $50 travel document paper. I would advise my wife to use the consulate first and only use the VFS Service as last resort.

Hello, Bonjour Esthersun,

You are like me. My application was received in Dec 2012, AOR was in January and CSQ was in March. Nothing has happened since then. I expected to get AIP in June, though. But, as you know, CIC has been busy for processing applications of October for a long time. I really understand your discouragement. This situation is not comfortable, but our day is coming! Try to be positive!

Hi guys. I came in Canada on November 1st 2012 as a visitor, then I started the whole process with the sponsorship and PR. ( my husband is my sponsor).
I applied on December 3,2012 at Vegreville,Ab.
On July 19,2013 I did my medical exam. I called yesterday at medical clinic and they told me that they send the medical results on July29,2013.
Now I am waiting for a sign from the immigration office.....I am not sure how much it's gonna take or... what's next?
In general the decision is made at interview ?

Hi anndreea,

Your situation is the same with most people in the timesheet. You should already received your AOR sometime in JAN. Your next step is the (approved in prinicple status) AIP. With the updated 10 month wait, you may not get AIP until october timeframe. So you are in the same boat as everyone waiting for their AIP stage. Just have to sit tight and wait patiently as much as possible before going crazy. Ha ha ha.

If you are interested in joining the list in the timesheet, please let me know and provide as much info as possible.

Regards,
