    Yes, the organization should send it directly to immigration. My first ADR was asking them to resend it. So it's totally fine. Just ask them to send directly to IRCC.

    Nope, I'm still here in Canada. The renewal of the Visa is complicated. I will most likely have to find a job here if I want to stay.

    Not really, if you're not paid inland you can't renew. Pretty weird they don't have a better policy considering how the pandemic affected Start-Ups. We have revenue in Brazil mostly but in Canada things have been slow so I can't be paid in Canada yet but I am in Brazil.

    Nope, they recently started processing people from May-June 2020 so it's a mess.

    I noticed it depends on the Designated organization. Some are better seen by IRCC so they ask for fewer documents. Others ask a lot more.

    Hi everyone, So, I received my WP under the SUV program the last august. Now it's two months before it expires. I know the SUV WP was made to last the same time the application for the PR would be approved or not. With the pandemic, every change we are well aware of. Did IRCC say anything...

    I applied in January 2021 for my WP. Got it approved in March 2021 and delivered to me only on August 3rd! Mine was inland so that surely play a factor.

    Hi everyone, hope you are doing well these days. Any news on the AORs for people who applied in 2020/2021? Last time, I remember something about people who applied in May 2020 were receiving their AOR. How it's the situation now?

    I had to pay as the biometric they do in the airport is not the same. What my lawyer told me is that "The biometrics that you completed last February is for your temporary residence (TRV purpose only) in Canada. Everyone who's applying for permanent residence in Canada is required to complete a...

    Hi everyone, I had one idea to help track the timelines. I created a Google Form that collects information about the application and outputs it to a Google Spreadsheet. This way, we can see where others are and see updates. No information is collected other than your responses. I also added...

    Yes. I had to apply for an extension for my Visitor Visa to maintain status while inside Canada before my WP was approved. Also, the Work Permit is not a visa per se. You still need a Visitor Visa or eTA to travel to Canada. When you get your Work Permit your visa is also emitted. I don't see...
