Too early. You should apply work permit extension application closer to 3 months of your expiration date . If you don't have employer restrictions on your nomination certificate, you can apply for BOWP .
My MP contacted the IRCC today - 3 months after the last time, as they instructed. And to no one's surprise: NOTHING has changed.
eligibility/medical - passed
security - not started
criminality - in process
How is it possible that Security has not yet started? What are they waiting for?
I'm one of most November 2024 applicants that haven't heard back from IRCC since receiving PAL in mid-to-late 2025. I understand that there are some stragglers here waiting since 2023, but they are the 1% exception - not the 99% rule. Looking at the November 2024 spreadsheet, it seems like 99% have not received FD, unless it's not up-to-date.
The agent also reminded us that "This case is non-routine which means no standard processing time is applicable", and then requested us to reach out again IN SIX MONTHS!
Oh, she also said that "You had put in a second request for notes from the IRCC agent on (Mar and May 2026). I just wanted to let you know that the more times you do this it will delay the processing time" - which we know is not true.
So here we are: this NON-EE PNP application has officially been promoted to plan B. My wife has been studying French for months, and we're confident she can get CLB 7 by the end of the year.

@Miss bee i got a final decision on Friday 26th June,2026. is it still possible for IRCC to request for additional documents at this point. secondly IRCC agent said my SVO has changed to Montreal, is that normal
Congrats!!
Did you get through email? And when did you submit your application which province?
Once a final decision has been made, the application is normally in its closing stage, and the next communication is usually the approval instructions (if approved) or a refusal letter (if refused). Although there are rare exceptions, such as correcting an administrative error, requests for additional documents after a final decision are uncommon. Regarding your Secondary Visa Office (SVO) changing to Montreal, that is also normal. IRCC routinely transfers files between offices for workload management, final processing, or administrative reasons, and a change in the SVO does not, by itself, indicate a problem or additional review.
I’ve been wondering about this for few days, if ircc asks for ADR and the documents you provide don’t have the enough information or missing few points per their requirement/criteria, would they send your application for comprehensive security check?
The last ADR I got was Employment contract, letter and records. This was back in oct 2024 and looking at the documents I provided, I feel like it’s little rushed and could have added few more details.

Even if that's the case, They should be human enough to give a simple response instead of ruining people's life by just letting them wait for years.
We are applying for PR (provincial nominee) as common-law partners.
On our forms and our notarized Statutory Declaration (IMM 5409), we wrote the date we became a couple.
But IRCC wants the date we started living together, which was about 1.5 years later.
Our address history shows the real move-in date. So the two do not match.
We have lived together for years now, so we easily pass the 12-month rule.
This is only about the date, not about us qualifying.

- Did anyone else mix up "became a couple" with "moved in together"?
- Is a letter of explanation enough, or did you redo the declaration?
- Did it cause any problems with your officer?
I mean they obviously don’t care or/and follow certain rules. All we need to know is why our applications are under comprehensive check and that alone can relieve us a bit. It’s killing me seeing people get FD within 8-10 months.
Since you haven’t submitted your PR application yet, you should correct the error before applying.
In your case:
- The common-law date on the PR forms and IMM 5409 should be the date you started living together continuously, not the date you started your relationship.
- If you’ve already had IMM 5409 notarized with the wrong date, it’s best to complete a new IMM 5409 and have it notarized again with the correct cohabitation date.
- You generally wouldn’t need a Letter of Explanation if you correct everything before submission. An LOE is more useful when an application has already been submitted and you need to explain a mistake afterward.
No, an incomplete or less detailed ADR response by itself would not normally cause IRCC to send an application for comprehensive security screening. Security screening is triggered based on factors related to national security, such as a person’s background, travel history, military or government affiliations, certain types of employment, or other security-related indicators—not because an employment letter or contract lacked detail. If the documents submitted in response to an ADR are missing information or do not fully satisfy the officer, the more common outcome is that the officer assesses the application using the evidence available, requests another ADR for clarification if necessary, or, in some cases, refuses the application if the required evidence is not provided. Since your ADR in October 2024 requested employment contracts, letters, and records, it was most likely to verify your work history or eligibility rather than for security purposes. If IRCC continued processing your application after that and did not immediately request further clarification, it generally suggests they found your response sufficient to move forward.
