sent a follow up email after a week of waiting for P2 and it showed up the next morning. I do believe it works every now and then but it is kind of hit or miss.

I'm going insane being stuck at the last step like this. Even had to cancel a family trip at the end of the month because we aren't allowed to travel. P1: Jan 3 2024 P2: Jan 12, 2024 (did not hear back from them after responding same day as P1 so we resent the responses on Jan 11 and got P2 the...

I found this thread because my wife has portal invite and I'm trying to figure out how long it will take. As for your situation, I'm sorry to hear this. You should get some professional advice, but be prepared to start the PR process over again. The cohabitating rule with common-law is actually...

Counterfoil generated on March 10. Any idea when the passport gets sent to Canada Post for delivery? We took a picture of the return envelope before sending the passport to Ottawa so we have the tracking number. Trying to buy plane tickets. Timeline: Applied Jan 21 PPR: Feb 24 Counterfoil: Mar 10

How do people know if counterfoil generated? Is it updated in GCKey?

Hi everyone. Just got TRV approved inside Canada. Submitted: Jan 21 2023 PPR: Feb 24 2023

I'm wondering if our applications are already approved but the officer hasn't sent PPR yet and they just sit there. People seem to indicate the office that prints the counterfoils is backed up. Maybe they don't want to request passports if the turnaround is too slow to prevent people for being...

I don’t know if this is correct. Applying for a visitor record may have changed status to visitor as it is the same form to change conditions

Is there a facebook group for this? It's good reading everyone's posts here to try to get idea of what is going on. Because IRCC's site keeps dropping the processing time from 21 days to 14 days to 13 days. Yet based on people's comments here, it looks like the wait time is getting longer (like...

Hi, here's mine. Wife applied for OWP under spousal sponsorship PR process inside Canada. Application submitted on: 19 August 2022 Submitted Inside or Outside Canada: Inland Work Permit Extension or New: New Got an answer? Yes, approved on 12 January 2023 to 11 January 2025

Lol. No. I'm American and I didn't. US Government doesn't care about citizens leaving unless you are a wanted person and they are trying to hold your passport. They only care about people coming in.

He isn’t a visitor anymore because he has a work permit. also, once he leaves Canada, any visitor status would reset. For people who require visitor visas, their visitor status resets upon entry but the visitor visa cannot be expired. For people who do not require visitor visas, you just show...

Just to make sure we are using the correct terminology -- Visitor visa or ETA: The document someone needs to ENTER Canada. The person must enter Canada before this expires. US citizens do not require visitor visas nor ETAs. Visitor status: the status given after being cleared by a CBSA officer...

You might be getting this mixed up with requirements for people from visa-required countries. US citizens do not require ETAs nor visitor visas so all he has to do is show up at the border with his US passport. The OWP isn't a travel document so this is why people say not to leave Canada without...

It's illegal to come in as a visitor without the intention of following through with visitor requirements however, under dual-intent laws, a person can have additional plans as long as they follow the rules of their current status. The reason I say it like this is because essentially what it...

No, not necesarily. A lot of people have to do it this way. For me, I applied as single but it took six years to get here under the Québec worker program. By the time I met my wife, I was in my final year of processing. As soon as I got COPR, we chose to get engaged as marriage and spousal...

The visitor record is still processing though so we don’t have an expiration date for the questionnaire in the online portal. If we give the original status expiry date, it keeps saying she is out of status and needs to restore

We want to apply for OWP now after having submitted online inland, but we already had to apply for a visitor record and that is still processing. Is it possible to apply for OWP now? There is an online screening questionnaire in the portal that asks when status expires. We don't have a new...

Hi, I'm in the same situation. I have received medical request but no AOR. The application number is written on the medical request. I'm debating applying for OWP using an LOE to list the application number and UCI while my consultant tries to ask IRCC to send AOR. Did you get OWP this way?

It wasn’t a problem because the moving company took care of it. They handed me their inventory list and the cargo control document and I took it to the CBSA office for shipment release. In the end, they stamped the inventory list I made, not the one the shippers created at pickup, so you need to...
