    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    I think it's primarily meant to be written proof of maintained status (formerly known as implied status) so you can do things like renew provincial healthcare and so on. That said I've heard of folks with understanding employers who were willing to take the risk to hire someone with a WP-EXT...

    New Budget and PR processing

    If you check out footnote 9 here, https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/corporate-initiatives/levels/supplementary-immigration-levels-2026-2028.html#fnpr9 it's referenced that Quebec only maintains a separate queue for economic immigrants. The accord...

    Renew refugee travel document

    Ouch. Reminds us of our visit to the local police station in Canada to report a lost passport - got the same sort of thing - "I'd never send my passport in the mail" despite this being the legal requirement at the time. Granted police officers probably would be expected to know most about e.g...

    Study Permit and Work Permit - Protected Person

    Did the school say outright that you were out of compliance previous or something? If not - how do you know you needed a study permit back then? You probably had a work permit applied for in 2022 or early 2023 - before June 7 specifically, and thus you were eligible under this public policy to...

    Study Permit and Work Permit - Protected Person

    This is exactly right. While for other situations, https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=934&top=25 explains that IEC work permits - which allow full time working - can be held with study permits at the same time. Furthermore...

    Please I need help with work permit

    See https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/protected-person-open-work-permit-renewal.873488/page-3#post-11108153 - TLDR you probably have a medical exam from two years ago which - despite looking expired - you can submit for this requirement (thanks to a temporary...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Interesting, we're similar. I took citizenship test first and then later got FP request. Last I checked LPP was still in progress.

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    As the very first post of this thread states, you can do this. OP did this the first time when applying. This is for a PGWP which is different from the open work permit that you are applying for as a protected person. That said, from...

    DUI Charge PGWP

    Not sure what you mean by 'cope' - both OPs got experienced lawyers involved to resolve their situation, and no one who went w/o this seems to have posted a success case. So if you want to resolve your situation successfully you'd be well advised to do the same. If you already have that and...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Thanks, this worked perfectly for me! Only I had to go further back and change the date to Nov 10 (I tried on Nov 14). Alas, same here.

    Refugee Travel Document or Certificate of Identity after getting PR? (My previous Refugee Travel Document expired)

    What kind? Is it an already signed eCoPR or the old fashioned paper one? Remember that unless and until signed by an immigration officer, a CoPR isn't proof of anything - you don't have PR, you haven't landed yet. Once signed, you're landed and a PR. Why? Is there any way you can delay this...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    Considering that it's 227 days for work permit processing according to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html I'd say that it's too soon to have received a new work permit yet. You've still got some time to go.

    Please I need help with work permit

    You can... if you need to. There's a public policy that extends the expiry date to five years, so one from 2022 would not be considered expired yet. Seem to depend on the country. See...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    Yes, comments like this (where the OP forgot to include the notice of decision) https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/refugee-travel-document-or-certificate-of-identity-after-getting-pr-my-previous-refugee-travel-document-expired.875050/#post-11104189 and this...

    Actually they remain on a rotating strike, you can see which places will have it today in https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/canada-post-rotating-strikes/article_1b3c670f-5a8f-5534-97cc-f4dc40575866.html

    No, showing as in progress on all elements still. Alas in my case the US gov't likely has fingers in all three, so, no real surprises there for the delay...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Argh! You're probably right actually. Not technically (IRCC obvs. didn't shutdown because the US gov't shutdown) but rather - for those of us who have recent US travel prior to submitting the app, IRCC probably asked CBSA for records, and CBSA asked CBA. If it came in post-shutdown, CBA...

    Residency obligations for PR renewal

    Thank you again for the insightful comments @dpenabill Edit - in particular when you call out that folks like jurists and aren't necessarily or automatically equipped to better understand the instructions better than the rest of us. I consider what you wrote here, to be equivalent to what I...
