Experts - @tobs @cansha @legalfalcon

I am on a Closed ICT Work Permit which expires July 1st week and will complete 3 years on ICT WP in Canada...
My CEC AOR date is July 15th......8 months are already passed and current status is: Eligibility - Recommend Pass, Criminality - In Progress, Security - Not started
VO - CIO Sydney NV

My employer is asking me to raise another ICT WP extension anyhow by April 1st week....
My employer / manager is not aware that I have applied for PR, but my manager would support me as he have asked HR recently to initiate my PR..

Should I let my manager / HR know that I have applied for PR ? Should I apply for ICT WP extension while PR application in progress OR I have to apply for BOWP ?

Please advise...

Hey, though you apply for WP extension or BOWP, end of the day, you get closed work permit. It should not matter.

Yes...but i will have to inform my employer that i have applied for PR, since there is a question in excel sheet I need to submit on our company portal asking "whether you have applied for PR ?"
Just Not sure whether they will go ahead with my closed WP extension or ask me to raise a BOWP....

I suggest you to go with normal extension if there is an option. By this, you will have peace of mind to stay.

I see your status is BOWP Approved...So, your employer is aware of PR application ? Means, I am asking did you face similar situation like me ?

Let your employer take the decision, who ever applies, you end up getting Closed work permit at the end (that happend in old cases)

Hi All,
@tobs , @legalfalcon , @cansha .

Need your valuable inputs

Got update from our local MP that my application was approved on March 13th(haven't got any ghost updates). Don't see any PPR email till now.
Aware of any such cases. Wouldn't the approval trigger the PPR email?

I don't think approval triggers PPR email. There must be a different process to trigger PPR email. Many applicants in this forum waited for months to receive the PPR email after approval. In my case, the application was approved on 14-Dec-2018 and I received PPR email on 31-Jan-2019. My AOR was 25-Jul-2018.

@tobs /, @legalfalcon /, @cansha :- Please help me out with your views as for me its very confusing. i have raised a CSE and the reply was:-

Please be informed that your application is currently in queue for review by an officer. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with a date on which your file will be reviewed.

Please be assured that you will be contacted immediately should further information be required or regarding the next steps in your file.

We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum. My question is how long it will take to complete as i have already passed 6 months and im in IP2 since Dec. Please help me understand this. I also spoke to an agent and she told that eligibility is under review but all looks good with no notes and no red flags.

One more thing i want to know that still it could be the eligibility review required? if yes than is there any possibility that my application would be cleared by April month. or shall i need to wait more n more.BTW i have also ordered GCMS. Appreciate your views on this.

hey....I got a similar response the first time....I contacted them on feb 25 and they similarly told me to wait for a response for March 27...Is it their standard reply just to wait?

By the way, If I'm not wrong they told yu to wait till March 18....

No one can tell you for sure when you'll get it.
The CSE response is generic and it could be because of the eligibilty review required. Keep asking for updates and monitoring your application.
