Hello

I called and spoke to agent. he did not give any deadline.

One guy in another post posted this:
dhairya78 said:
This what I got from CIC
15 April applicant
There is a backlog for PNP applications in the Sydney office of 4 to 12 weeks. Many PNP applications have been coming to Sydney recently, hence the backlog. They are trying their very best to clear the backlog.


We will not be able to get any information until the decision is made. I suggest that we should wait 12 weeks from August 2017, as we can hear anything in that time hopefully.

Hello Everyone,

I submitted PR application in July 2016 and I am still waiting for the medical exam request.
My application is showing in process and "Your Action Is Required" is still on the status.
Has anyone who applied at the same period of time like me received anything?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ellained,

Sorry to hear that u did not get MR yet.

So, I called CIC at around 6am SK time. Wait in queue about 20mins. Officer was very nice. He checked everything - "Your documents are all good. Just wait for a bit and you will be getting Passport Request anytime now. You just crossed 16months mark".

Ellained, my suggestion DO NOT CALL THEM unless you pass 16 months. I called them before getting medical request and got yelled - "You will get your medical request letter when it will be produced".

Regarding EE, it will be lots of headache + expenses:

Language test $300
Med exam $300
Application fee $550
Landing fee $490

Again, EE is like green card in USA - u are lucky and they invite you to apply. U have lower score and u sit in pool.

Nobody guarantees that u will get EE in 6 months.

The benefit of EE is that u can get Bridging Open Work Permit (if postgrad work permit expires)

Through PNP, it is way harder, u need to apply for closed work permit (if Postgrad work permit expires) and get letter from province and employer. this is harder.

I suggest to stay with PNP

Telephone: 1-888-242-2100 (in Canada only)
  • Automated telephone service (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week)
    If you have a touch-tone telephone, you can listen to pre-recorded information about our programs, and check the status of your application.
  • Client Support Centre agents - Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., your local time, except for statutory holidays. Services are available in French and English.
hey comeon dont spread rumors brother. people are already tensed. Who said you get closed WP post PNP. I Am oinp and got open work permit post my pgwp expired. EE is still better atleast you have one more application running at the background. I thought about the same thing in mAy but then In september I applied for EE, my medical is already passed there

Did you mention employment restricted PNP in your post. If you did, then probably i missed it. My PNP is Masters driven and does not have to be employment restricted
