Hard to say. Definitely not a grey area as many go onto visitor status while waiting for other work permits/PR etc, thats probably one of the reasons why they allow 6 months for visa exempt nations. But yeah at this point with the speed they seem to be processing outland applicants it would likely delay the application if you were to fly there now.

Why would do you think it delay it?

Hi everyone, I am a CEC outland applicant.
AOR: October 2020
COR: India

Recently received my CBSA notes, and the case analyst has noted the following:
"LOE states client was employed from 2017-10-24 to 2018-09-12, which appears to fall short of one year of Canadian work experience. As a result, unable to confirm one year of Canadian work experience. Review required"

Dates mentioned in my express entry profile match the documents. I was still invited under CEC.

Will this be an outright reject, or will there still be chances of it going through during the officer's review?

@legalfalcon would appreciate your opinion as well.

I see a decent number of PPRs being issued to the CEC outland applicants in the last few weeks. I hope this trend continues and we all get PPRs soon. Most interestingly, VO Ottawa is getting active now

Hey guys,

Myself and common law partner
Outland CEC

CRS 275
ITA: Feb 15th
Application submitted: March 30th
AOR: 29th April
Medical passed: 30th April
1/2 biometrics passed (done in canada)
2/2 Partner biometrics request: 30th April


Good luck all!
Hey all. So after 6 weeks our GCMS notes came through. Edmonton office and 86 pages long - from what I can see not really much more information. Looks like our 260 CRS score has passed at least

Uploaded a few pages below. If anyone can give me some timeframes, or something to decipher in the GCMS, I'd appreciate it!

They're currently looking at one week prior to our AOR so fingers crossed!




Also found this below:
Does this mean we've passed eligibility? Even though it's blank above?

Anyone who has applied in 2021 and got landed? Are they issuing passport requests only to 2020 applicants?
My AOR was June 25th 2021 and I got my PPR on october 5th. I just got back my passport last week with my PPR visa stamped since my country is not visa excempt. I'll be landing in Canada in 3 weeks, so yep they are issuing passports request for 2021 applicants!

Hi everyone! I've also received a passport copy request (visa exempt). I've been seeing a lot of these, including FSW's 2019/2020, so it seems like they're working on that backlog and things are looking up for outlanders!
