Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[Miss bee]

Hi everyone, I submitted my non-express entry pnp on 1 November, and have not yet received AOR/BIL. I have to travel abroad for 1 month and 15 days from 1 July. My question is that if I receive BIL during that time, what should I do? and how long I will have time to do biometric? Thank you.

If you receive your Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL) while you’re abroad, don’t worry—here’s what you can do:

1. Time to Complete Biometrics: You typically have 30 days from the date of the BIL to complete your biometrics.
2. Options While Abroad:
   • Do Biometrics Abroad: If you’re in a country that has a VAC (Visa Application Centre) or an Application Support Center (ASC) that offers biometrics services, you can do them there. Check the IRCC website for a list of VACs.
   • Request an Extension: If you cannot do the biometrics in the country you’re visiting (or it’s not possible within the 30-day timeframe), you can request an extension. Contact IRCC via a webform explaining your situation (mention your travel dates and why you cannot complete them during the trip)

Hi @Miss bee , I have a question regarding my situation. I have applied for non ee Pnp PR application in late November and my PGWP is expiring in July 26. With the current pace it is unlikely that I will receive AOR before my expiry date. Therefore, I would like to apply for a lmia-exempt closed work permit with a support letter. I have recently requested and received the letter from province. However, I have concern that my nomination has already expired. I have applied for PR before its expiration date but I am waiting for AOR more that 6 months. Do you think that an expired nomination can be a reason of rejection of the closed work permit or is it considered valid because I submitted PR before it expired.

Thank you!

Even if your nomination has already expired, it is considered valid for the purpose of applying for a closed LMIA-exempt work permit under R204(c) (provincial nominee class) . Make sure your WPSL is less than 6 months old . You need valid work permit support letter but you can use expired nomination certificate. Your employer have to submit job offer in employer portal.

Do not give partial details. please add about compliance fees(around$240): which must be paid by your employer. Inform your employer that he/she take screenshot of compliance fees receipt. which is important in IMM5710e form.

Common sense. Google it . When you apply it give you checklist for documents.

I know about the complience fee that employer has to pay. I was more worried about the expired nomination. Thank you very much for your explanation. @Miss bee

@Miss bee
I received the P1 email today. I replied to it but I missed certain columns of the information.
I sent an updated email immediately with all correction information to the same email address.
Will it affect my application? Thanks.

hello - just asking for some advice. i lodged my non EE application last aug 2024 and i see that most applicants in august tracker has received their medical/pal updates. I haven't received mine.. should i request for gcms notes now? or should i wait for several more days? any advice is appreciated. thanks!

You are still within the same processing period so ordering GCMS notes is unlikely to provide anymore information.

I got PAL first and then medical request the next day.

Hello everyone,


I've received a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination under the health authority stream and am preparing to apply for Permanent Residence (PR) through the non-Express Entry route.


Personal Details:

• I currently reside in Canada; my wife lives in India.
• We do not have any children.

Medical Examinations:

• I underwent a medical exam in May 2022.
• My wife had her medical in March 2023.
  
  • She previously came to Canada on a Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP) but did not work and returned to India.
  • She has visited Canada three times as a visitor since then.

Questions:

1. Medical Exams: Given the dates of our previous medical exams, will we both need to undergo new medical examinations for the PR application?
2. Birth Certificate: My wife does not possess a birth certificate. What alternative documents can we provide to meet the PR application requirements?

Any insights or guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Medical exams are typically valid for 12 months for immigration purposes. However there is temporary policy that if you ever done medical exam before for any visas, they will still consider that exam even it's expired.

Birth Certificate
IRCC prefers a birth certificate to confirm date and place of birth, but if your wife doesn’t have one, here’s what you can provide:
Alternative documents:
School records (school leaving certificate / transfer certificate showing date of birth).

• Baptismal certificate (if applicable).
• Affidavit of birth (notarized, stating her date and place of birth, and explaining why a birth certificate is unavailable).
• Government-issued documents (passport, Aadhaar card, etc., showing date of birth).

Recommended: Provide as much alternative documentation as possible (preferably government-issued records). Also, include a Letter of Explanation detailing why the birth certificate is unavailable and what documents you’re providing instead.
