Jealous. I applied on 8 March and some of you got your AORs before me but even though you applied after! All good, we know IRCC Is a lottery system right now.
 
hi folks, wondering based on the BCPNP work permit support letter, how long (duration of work permit) will be granted by IRCC?

Depends on officer, sometimes they issue 1 or 2 years depending on anticipated processing times of applications and when your current permit expires. Some people get 1, others get 2.
 
Hi, i have submitted my application in 8 Feb 2022. Now I still wait for AOR :) anyone know how long it takes to receive AOR?

Most recent one got the AOR in 5 months. So, the timeline is going down. I guess it depends on what stream you are applying for and what IRCC is prioritizing. Look at the document below to see the timelines. Scroll down for the most recent ones:

I just can't for the life of me get my head around why some people in March are now getting processed, but online applicants as far back as April last year and more recently in January 2021 don't have AORs.

Does anyone have a theory on why IRCC doesn't operate on a "first come, first serve" basis?

other than incompetency, I think the equally or even more incompetent Non-EE PNP online application system, more specifically the file transfer/upload system is largely responsible for this manmade joke/humanitarian crisis. The actual file process staff cannot stop waiting for the failed-upload files to be uploaded to the GCMS by manual(*which is btw short of resources) or mechanical(*which is btw again, incompetent) means, they have to keep going, and there come those lucky guys with a later AR who had their files uploaded successfully, so theirs got processed. lol so much for the so called "technological aid".

Hello everyone, can anyone provide me with the process for extending my work permit?
While searching around, I cannot find exactly how to do it. Would someone with the same status be able to show me how to do it?
As an international student, I applied through the oinp-international student stream. In April 2022, I applied online for the non-express entry program (PNP)
An offer of employment number and a copy of the job offer are attached to the support letter valid for a period of six months from the end of March.
On the CIC portal, I tried to create an application. However, this is what I see

Since I don't see anywhere to put the support letter or the employment offer number, I'm not sure if that is correct.
Does anyone have any experience with doing that at the border Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and getting it in one day? Would you mind sharing your experience? Can I do that at the Cornwall CBSA since I live in Ottawa? If yes do I need to prepare something?
In addition, I asked the OINP about the expiration of the support letter. They said we can get it renewed if we are still employed and provide 2 recent payslips (information for someone's needs).
 
Hi everyone,

I've done some research online, but haven't found the answers so far. I'm applying under OINP Masters Stream.

Personal Background:
  • What if I went to school and worked at the same time/had multiple jobs? For now, I only put the main activities in so that there is no overlap, and I will also provide a separate document with all jobs I have had in the past 10 years plus all education/unemployment. Is that correct?
  • Do I really need to put in all my travels in there too? Even if it was just a few days?
  • I saw a video that said I need to provide old immigration documents (so if I studied in the US, I need to upload all my visa)?
 
Hello everyone
I have applied in October 2021, (BC PNP- Skilled worker) still waiting for AOR..
Does anyone know if I am outside Canada and receive AOR, should I come back right away?
I’m not sure about next steps after AOR, I think I will need to give biometrics and medical exam, can I do it outside Canada?
Any recommendations are more than welcome.
