It took me 2 years delayed because of that LMIA and covid. Yes, I understand that she doesn’t have to work the same employer. But my point is, why did she allow the ircc to prolong her PR for 2 years??? It should be 6 months only (if with 24 months). My sister got their PR after 6 months of application only.
I think they will prioritize you. Even if I submitted before you.
She received a bridge of open work permit. BOWP is what you apply for when you have a permanent residence application going on .
She said that she only submitted PR application on 2019, not OWP. She just applied BOWP this year maybe. My point again is, PR approval is only 6 months, why it took her 2 years? You cannot submit PR application only if you don’t have experience yet. So it means, her waiting for PR approval is crazy for someone who can only get it within 6 months.
PR is 6 months you are right but then don’t forget COVID-19 hit us hard too ....I also submitted application for PR in March 2020 but here I am with no AOR .. it’s 1 year and 2 months of waiting for PR to processed .
Oh wow, that’s a long wait for someone who already earned their way to PR. I’m sorry to hear that. I really think that they will give priority to all of you who completed 24 months. It will be your turn soon.
Yes, I’m sorry about that. I’m sad too. I would love to hear good news from applicants without experience yet (because I also have zero experience yet when I submitted my application last year). But as of now, it’s all inland applicants.No updates for outside applicants?.
Exactly what I thought too but here we are .I am inside and submitted with 24 months experience. & Amen .. It will be my turn soon and also your turn too .. We shall all get positive updates soon .
We don't know her full story. But some people inside Canada change status from work permit to visitor while waiting for new LMIA and apply for new WP thru border visit. That strategy can prolong their stay inside Canada.
I think, in my opinion, the reason why they issue open work permit to her is prolly she applied for it too. I mean you kinda have too especially if you're inside Canada with an expiring work permit so you'll be able to get the implied status. That's kinda what I had to do as well. I submitted my PR application Dec2019 and then 3 months before my work permit expire (they only recommend 30 days actually before expiry) I applied for BOWP and up until now I'm under implied status. That is very important especially if you choose to stay inside while waiting for PR approval. Also it gives you an advantage to work for whatever and how many jobs you want while waiting for PR approval. PR processing is dead long, I'm pretty sure after eligibility next would be medical then last one is interview...
She prolly submitted under Bridging open work permit. you can always do that as long as you submitted a PR application first and your current status inside is expiring
I applied 3 work permits (different employers) under the old caregiver program within 2 years. It’s a long story why it happened to me, but blame it on LMIA. One LMIA is equals to 6 months of waiting. So do the math why it took me 2 years. My second work permit is not used due to covid. I’m using my 3rd work permit now (which I got within 2 days only from the ircc. LMIA processing took me about 6 months). I don’t know about border visit without US visa.
Maybe, but 2 years of waiting for PR is totally insane. I don’t know anyone who waited that long.
Thank you for your encouraging words. But I’m not expecting it soon, because i only have few months of work experience and I submitted it last October only. I’m praying that they will prolong the deadline of the special pathway to PR for essential workers until January next year. I might shift to that pathway instead. Let’s see what will happen to my HCCP pilot application this year.
