Hello LegalFalcon,
Apprecaite if you could help on these :
I received PNP nomination in Dec 2016, ITA in Dec 2016 and completed eAPR in March 2017 as PNP outland.
in parallel, I searched for job in same province and the employer got LMIA (Dec 2016) and now has filed for Work Permit (April 2017). In Work Permit application, I have mentioned about already filed PR application and also past UCI number (from another Work Permit).
1. Do I need to provide Work Permit application details to CIC on my PR application? PR application was submitted before Work Permit application.
There is no obligation to provide IRCC with the details of the Work Permit Application. However, if you send a CSE, it will become easier for them so that they are aware of it since they will anyway check in their system. And when they find it, they may be confused and unnecessarily delay your PR application.
2. Is this a good idea to have two application run in parallel or should I ask employer to withdraw WP application.
There is no limit on how many application for different programs you have, as long as IRCC is made aware of it and they know your current status. This is because if the applications are together on the system, it becomes easier, as when you get the PR, your work permit will have to be terminated, as you will no longer need it.
On my PR application
3. In my Express Entry profile one of my NOC was wrong (inadvertently clicked on 2174 instead in 2171). Since the profile got locked after ITA , I provided right NOC in eAPR application before submitting.Experience letter relates my work to NOC 2171.Should I provide a LOE with CSE now?
Not required, you can change your NOC post ITA.
4. I work in USA. I have provided passport scanned copies (the USA Visa has expired) but did not send the proof of legal stay ( I received approved I797 and I 94). Should I send that now with CSE?
YES, immediately. IRCC asks for your status in your country of residence. If you were waiting for your new papers when you filed your application, you should have sent a LoE, however, if you did not send those documents now. It will not affect your application, but will save the agents time who will have to check the US system to see if your are in violation of any immigration laws.
5. Credit Card Statements : I have provided Bank Statements for POFs but did not include credit card statements. Should I send them now ?
Not required.
6. PNP certificate expires in next few weeks while the PR application is still with ORCC / CIC. Do I need to reach out to province to get that extended?
Thanks so much.
The PNP certificate would be valid on the date you file your application. There is no need to seek any extension from the province or IRCC.
