Too early. You should apply work permit extension application closer to 3 months of your expiration date . If you don't have employer restrictions on your nomination certificate, you can apply for BOWP .
My MP contacted the IRCC today - 3 months after the last time, as they instructed. And to no one's surprise: NOTHING has changed.
eligibility/medical - passed
security - not started
criminality - in process
How is it possible that Security has not yet started? What are they waiting for?
I'm one of most November 2024 applicants that haven't heard back from IRCC since receiving PAL in mid-to-late 2025. I understand that there are some stragglers here waiting since 2023, but they are the 1% exception - not the 99% rule. Looking at the November 2024 spreadsheet, it seems like 99% have not received FD, unless it's not up-to-date.
The agent also reminded us that "This case is non-routine which means no standard processing time is applicable", and then requested us to reach out again IN SIX MONTHS!
Oh, she also said that "You had put in a second request for notes from the IRCC agent on (Mar and May 2026). I just wanted to let you know that the more times you do this it will delay the processing time" - which we know is not true.
So here we are: this NON-EE PNP application has officially been promoted to plan B. My wife has been studying French for months, and we're confident she can get CLB 7 by the end of the year.

@Miss bee i got a final decision on Friday 26th June,2026. is it still possible for IRCC to request for additional documents at this point. secondly IRCC agent said my SVO has changed to Montreal, is that normal
Congrats!!
Did you get through email? And when did you submit your application which province?
Once a final decision has been made, the application is normally in its closing stage, and the next communication is usually the approval instructions (if approved) or a refusal letter (if refused). Although there are rare exceptions, such as correcting an administrative error, requests for additional documents after a final decision are uncommon. Regarding your Secondary Visa Office (SVO) changing to Montreal, that is also normal. IRCC routinely transfers files between offices for workload management, final processing, or administrative reasons, and a change in the SVO does not, by itself, indicate a problem or additional review.
