CBsA won't return your passport, if it was seized, until you become PR and get COPR at least.

It starts when you apply but most of it falls on Stage 2 - after AIP.

Thank you dear @SweetQueen .

You will be PR like everyone else. You can travel wherever you want. It does not matter through which stream you became PR

Whose embassy?

My follow-up advice was referring to OP's application on HC grounds, which I presumed happened 3 years ago. If less than 12 months passed since HC application, follow-up is meaningless.

Personally we did not submit these with application but waited for Stage 2 until they requested PCCs but I see many people submit those from the beginning.

what do you mean by no invitation for 3 years? That you have not received acknowledgment of receipt? Or you mean you have not heard updates since then? You need to order GCMS notes and also try involve your MP to get your file moving - 3 years is a long time and the more you wait the more...

There is no magic number. The letter must have a good structure and flow; it should be succinct and tell your full immigration story from the day you landed and highlight your key HC arguments/proofs. My letters are 7 pages max because that's my writing style. Others write more. Note though that...

For AIP you need eligibility. Criminality passed is good but does not guarantee anything as it all depends on the strength of your HC arguments (=eligibility). This is the key for Stage 1. You will worry about criminality and security at Stage 2.

I don't think there is sample. You just write in your own words that you tried requesting PcCs but your embassy has delays and you attach screenshots of your correspondence with them. You are kindly requesting extension to the deadline. You send it by email to his Stage 2 office (Niagara I am...

Yes you have to seek extension for PCCs. You write a letter to IRcC explaining your situation with evidence and they will give you extra time. It happens a lot - nothing to worry about

Criminality is passed because you finished biometrics (and probably submitted police certificates with your file). This is the easiest check. Medical will be done at Stage 2. Everything else will stay in progress all the way until you get PR.

They are secondary office processing background checks. You do not need to worry about that. They will be dealing with other agencies to clear your background checks.

Call center standard response. For them, once they issue AOR your eligibility started. For GcMS, eligibility starts when your deciding officer starts reading your HC arguments.

I don't understand why did he surrender anything to IRCC office? IRCC do not normally seize any documents. It is only CBSA that can seize passport to prevent you from leaving country. Why and on what grounds did he surrender these documents? Do you mean that he voluntarily attached original...

Applying online is now the main way to apply for permanent residence. Other formats If you can’t apply online, and require accommodations, including for a disability, you can ask for the application in another format (paper, braille or large print)...

Thank you, my friend! I got citizenship in 2017 :)
