Did you get a TRP before a study permit?

Just wanted to know would you suggest we wait for another year before she applies for a study permit or PR through express entry? Also, how long does a criminal rehab application take to get processed or does it come down to which visa office is handling the application?

Right, thank you so much for your time!

Hi BAAS, Did you find any answers?

So my friend is flying from HK on a HK passport and wants to apply for OWP under the public policy which expires in Feb, 2023. She was charged with wounding and received 3 months. Her sentence was spent last December 2021, and this December it'll be 4 years. So she was wondering if she should go...

Do you happen to know anything about it yourself?

Hi Dave, How can we get an immigration officer to asses our case? Do you have any contact details that you could provide? Because I want to see if a spent conviction will be treated as a spent conviction or should I wait for a period of 5 years and then apply for rehabilitation?

Hi, did they refuse your application but asked you to apply for rehabilitation or did they simply put a hold on your application and instructed you to apply for rehabilitation application and will process your file once the results of the rehab application are through? Or will you be applying...

How do you think Canada treats a foreign spent conviction? Will it be treated in the same way UK's spent convictions are?

Hi Ted, Did you manage to get this sorted? My friend is applying for OWP and her conviction only becomes spent in December 2022 for assault. Was your visa approved?

Was the conviction spent in the UK or Canadian law? A friend of mine is applying for OWP and here the conviction becomes spent after 3 years meaning her conviction will be spent later this year but not in Canada. Do you think she'll be able to get a visa sorted?

Hi, I applied for an OWP in February and have received no reply or request for biometrics or otherwise. I am told that my visa office is most likely HK as that’s where I applied from.I don’t know what is up with HKVO.

@tang2022 Hi Tang, where did you submit your application? Were you in HK at the time or elsewhere?

How long did it take you to get the biometrics request? I applied for the work permit in late February 2022 but received no response except a confirmation of submission. I raised a webform but received a very generic response a few hours later. I have also not been instructed to do any...

Hi, what's your update on the application? I still have not received any biometrics or any other request from IRCC. No progress at all on our applications.
