Hi @Miss bee, I have a question regarding address change. I recently got my Portal 1. I submitted all the requested information. But I might change my address before or after the ECOPR. Can I let IRCC know about the address change so I can receive my PR Card on new address? If I change my address before Portal 2 then how do I update my address? Thank you

Yes absolutely. You should include all jobs doesn't matter part or casual or full time.

Thank you so much for your reply. For concurrent jobs, I think it's quite confusing to reader/officer to read if the jobs are put together in the timeline-format portal ( I might be wrong if the data ends up being under different format at their end), so I am thinking maybe just put the regular job (to be consistent with previous Study Permit and WP applications) and include the casual one in the LOE. However, I am also worried that if they miss that part of the LOE, I will be be trouble. Looking forward to your opinion.

This morning, I received my eCOPR!

Thank you, @Miss bee, and thank you to everyone for sharing insights and answering questions.

The complete timeline is in my signature.

Yes he is inland but his spouse can't land first. He should have ECOPR before his spouse should land.

Ok. Thank you very much

Resume/CV for Non-Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Hello fellow members,
It seems that some applicants have received ADR (Additional Document Requests) related to their Resume/CV after submitting their application under the Non-Express Entry PNP stream. I'm trying to understand what exactly IRCC expects from the Resume/CV in this context.

Besides ensuring the timeline is accurate and consistent with other documents, should we format it like a typical job-market resume? For example:
– Is it acceptable to omit jobs that lasted less than six months?
– Can we describe our duties in our own words instead of copying them directly from the job description?
– Is a LinkedIn profile required or recommended?
_ Any other features you might think of.

I’d appreciate any insights or shared experiences. Thank you!

Hello @Miss bee!

Can I add my spouse to my BOWP application? She is on visitor visa currently and has been added in non express entry PNP application and we have got AOR as well. I got my nomination through OINP masters graduate stream and I have no restrictions on employment. Is she eligible for open work permit?

Also, if we apply for her open work permit, can she stay in Canada legally until decision is made on either PR application or work permit application?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I applied under non ee pnp alberta on January 2nd. My pgwp expires on September 28 and I haven't received my AOR. With November 9th applicants getting AOR right now it'll be very tight for me to recieve AOR before pgwp expiry.

My plan is to submit a BOWP application a few days before my pgwp expires so I can work under applied status, and then add the AOR to the application when I receive it. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks!

1. Schedule A Background Declaration (IMM5669)
It is acceptable to have overlapping dates in certain sections like education and internships, especially if the internship was part-time or part of your academic program. However, in the personal history section, the goal is to provide a continuous, non-overlapping timeline of what you were doing since age 18 or the past 10 years (whichever is more recent). IRCC uses this section to verify your background and check for gaps or inconsistencies. Your example
Jul 2021 - Aug 2021 - Unemployed - Philippines

• Sep 2021 - Dec 2023 - Studying - Canada
• Jan 2024 - Present - Working - Canada

…looks correct — there’s no gap, and the transitions are clear. That’s exactly what IRCC is looking for.

For fields like Memberships, Government positions, Military service, writing “None” is the correct approach if they don’t apply to you. Leaving it blank can sometimes be misinterpreted as “not answered,” so stating “None” provides clarity.
2. Employment Records
Unless the IRCC specifically asks for all employment records in the past 10 years, you typically only need to submit proof of employment related to your NOC code and the job offer supporting your OINP nomination. Since your NOC is 21232 (Software Developer), focus on providing:

• Reference letters with job title, duties (matching the NOC), salary, duration, and hours worked
• Pay stubs, T4s, and ROEs if available
• Include additional job records only if the IRCC explicitly requests “all” employment history; otherwise, unrelated jobs are not mandatory

3. Proof of Funds (POF)
You’re right — for OINP Employer Job Offer streams (non-Express Entry), POF is usually not required if you are currently residing in Canada with a valid work permit and a job offer. However, IRCC can sometimes request POF during PR processing as a general eligibility check.
Since TD Bank won’t give you a full POF letter (with account opening date and average balances), you can

• Combine official monthly statements for the past 6 months with a signed letter from the bank manager confirming account ownership and balances as of the current date
• Consider writing a short cover letter explaining that your bank doesn’t issue average balance/account opening date but you’re submitting statements to show consistent savings
• If you have other liquid assets (e.g. GICs, savings in other banks), include them as well

4. IMM5406 (Additional Family Information)
Even though you’re a single applicant with no spouse or children, the IMM5406 form also asks about your parents and siblings, not just your immediate family. It’s likely the original form was considered incomplete if those sections were blank.

• You should list your parents’ and siblings’ full names, dates of birth, marital status, and locations even if they aren’t accompanying you.
• For the spouse and children sections, writing “Not applicable” or “None” is better than leaving them blank

5. Signing Forms
Unless IRCC has specifically requested a digital signature, you should print, hand-sign the forms in ink, then scan and upload them. Typing your name into the signature field may be rejected unless the form has a built-in e-signature feature (some newer PDF forms do). Always check if the form allows for a digital signature — if not, do it the traditional way.

Thanks for this! Have sent in my updated forms last friday following these guidelines and have received updates that my medical passed today and received the pre-arrival services letter as well!!

Thanks again @Miss bee!! (and to @qa40870 for bumping up my questions)

According to my understanding:

• You cannot submit a BOWP application and “add” the AOR later. The AOR must be included at the time of submission.
• If your PGWP expires before you get the AOR, you’ll lose work authorization unless you’ve applied for another valid permit.

Thank you. What options do I have to continue my status as a worker if the permit expires before AOR? If the permit does expire, will my PR application become invalid?

No, you cannot submit a valid BOWP application without the AOR. IRCC requires proof that your PR application has been received and is eligible for processing, and the AOR is that proof.
Submitting a BOWP application without an AOR will result in a refusal
Even if you plan to upload the AOR later via a webform or GCKey update, this is not accepted practice — IRCC must have the AOR at the time of submission to process the BOWP.

Your only option is to apply for Closed work permit with help of your employer and with help of WPSL.
