Hello,

I have received the rejection letter for EE - CEC on Sep. 6 - 2019. I am currently on bridge work permit which is expiring on May 14, 2020.

I am planning to travel to back home from Oct 10th - 27th. I have a valid TRV on my passport which expires on March 20, 2020.

Can I travel and come back to Canada? Can the Border authority stop me by entering Canada since my PR is rejected. My UCI number is same on the TRV, Work Permit and Express Entry CEC profile. At the airport when they will enter UCI number it will say that Express Entry application denied.

Please advise so that I can make the travel arrangements accordingly.

Thank you,

You should have no issues re-entering Canada with a valid TRV and BOWP.

Hello,
Hello I have one question. I am calculating my EE - CEC points. When I am entering my score for IELTS in the EE calculator tool it is asking that do you have any additional score in 5 (iii) TCF or TEF.

My Question is can I give TCS and TEF and use both the score i.e. IELTS and TCS or TEF to boost up my score. After entering IELTS score it is asking do any TCF or TEF score?

Please advise

Thanks

You can use IELTS + one french exam (either TCF or TEF). You can't combine TCF and TEF.

Hi ,

Help !

I applied for Bridge permit on May 27th 2019 and they are currently processing applications received on June 14th.
no update on my Bridge permit. It was LMIA exempt .

Does you know what they look for in PR file when they are working on WP extension ?
I applied for my PR jan 11 2019.

I am very worried about my Bridge permit. I applied for it first time in Feb and CIC reached out to me and said I should hv applied on paper and not online. (because I was a temp resident permit holder). Now its been 5 months since I applied again on paper and I havent heard back.

I have had issues with immigration processing my work permits in the past. My anxiety levels are maxed out right now :(

It's probably taking longer because you have a TRP. You aren't the usual BOWP applicant, you're more of a special case - you shouldn't compare yourself to people who aren't on a TRP.

You applied before your current work permit expired, right? In that case, you're on implied status and you shouldn't worry too much. The decision will come when it comes, but till then, you can keep working.

Why are you on a TRP?

Hey 21Goose,
Thanks for responding.

long story - I had applied for my PGWP in 2016 (did it by mslf, did something wrong, i got a wrong checklist in the end) without realizing my application was wrong i waited for response. Got a refusal the day my student status expired.
Reapplied Work permit and restoration of status - got refused again after 4 months... CIC said now i dont hv valid status so they cant give me WP. they asked me to leave the country at that point. no lawyer helped.

I went to MP.. he reviewed my case and agreed to help. after 6 more months (unemployed) , MP got me my workpermit with a TRP... (he said something like he had to give me a status first before CIC isssued me a WP)

thats how I got a TRP and a 2 year WP.....

I am scared to get into the same situation that i was in in 2016...

YES I applied for the Bridge permit extension before my current work permit expired. I am in implied status but iv had such a bad luck with WPs that im worried about this one.
Do u hv a guess what they look for in PR application when they are processing BOWP ?
