Hi everyone, Just called CIC call centre and they said they are still processing pictures from July 27. I had to resend my photo in August (picture arrived on August 17) so they said to call them back in 3-4 weeks....

Perfect - thank you :)

So Expedia/delta considered my situation was a special case and changed the flight to end in Buffalo. What a relief for me - but just wanted to check with the experts - when I cross border in private vehicle from Buffalo to Niagara, do I just need to bring my passport and COPR? Is there any...

I called them and they said it would take another month to process as they are currently processing the photos from June 22. If you sent back your photo in August, it will take quite sometime again to receive update.

I was just considering different alternatives but I think that will probably be the route i will take. It was hoping that i didnt have to book another flight (as it's quite pricey to fly from Japan to Toronto) but seems like an only "promised" option. Thanks again for all your help!

I wish this was an option but there is no Canadian Embassy in Japan. Everything is processed in Manila, and I have been advised that the process will take from 10 days to 1 months.

Thank you so much.. I have contacted the airline and they said the same thing re: boarding from Japan to Detroit. Seems like PRTD is the only hope for me - I will check with Visa Office. Jus curious - what did you end up doing?

Hello Legal Falcon! I finally received my PPR today - i am inland CEC applicant and they've asked me to "submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you". Could you please tell me what are the "pages containing amendments of the passport" for...

Hi all, I called CIC call centre and they advised me that my background is "in progress" (with some parts completed but one of them needed to be completed). They asked me to fill out the web form to inquire further about Not applicable status. I think it'd be helpful for you to check with the...

Hi everyone - quick question on BOWP... Can someone confirm that I cannot submit BOWP application until 4 months before your work permit expires? I just submitted my Permanent Residency application; however, my PGWP is valid till July and im not sure if i could apply for BOWP now or have to wait...

Hi Legalfalcon, Thank you for your explanation - very helpful! What I am concerned is that I have listed all of my work experience (including non qualifying jobs) under Work History during Express Entry... Now that I have received ITA, should I keep these non-qualifying jobs under Work History...

Hello Legalfalcon, Apologies to be a pain! I have another question I'd like to ask re: Work History. During "pre" ITA period, I have mentioned all work history I have had in Canada under Work History section, although only my current job qualifies for PR application. Now that I've received...

Thank you!!
