Hi all. My IEC expired November 7th, luckily same day my bridging visa was approved. Hurrah. However I stopped working as I kind of assumed my SIN expired and therefore working on it would be illegal asnits not valid, and I know I would need the physical permit to renew the SIN. However it's...

Hi all, After copious amount of research and speaking to CBSA immigration officers at YVR airport, I have come to the final conclusion of that you do have to stop working after expiry of IEC, even if a BOWP/PR application is in process (despite what CIC hotline agents tell you, as well as some...

@lisajane6884 Sorry to bump this, but did you have to wait for the permit in the mail or was the email in the account enough to renew? Thanks

I got the same answer when i called too. And an email from the agent that states: ------- Implied status - IEC If you are a participant in the International Experience Canada (IEC) program and you apply for: A subsequent work permit (WP) under one of the IEC eligible categories, you cannot...

Apologies on bumping this one, but @youknowluke , I will be in the same position as you in a couple of weeks and wondering what you did? I've had different immigration consultants tell me different things, people on different forums tell me different things, and it's still a fully grey area for me.

What's the number for the IRCC helpline? I just get an automated response from the number I call and can't seem to get through to an agent at all, ever. This all seems to be a huge grey area. A BOWP seems to generally be considered a renewal of an open work permit, and therefore I can work on...

Thanks for the link, but here is my query with this. Does Express Entry count as a work permit?Technically it is a different type of work permit, and not an extension of my work permit (As IEC cannot be extended), so don't know if I fall in to that second category of not being able to work. All...

1Today at 2:39 PM Hello, Posted this in the wrong forum, so reposting here. My IEC Visa expires early November. I have applied for CEC Express Entry and also BOWP, current awaiting R10 on my Express Entry so the bridging Visa can be processed. Likely the bridging Visa won't be approved til...

Hello, My IEC Visa expires early November. I have applied for CEC and also BOWP, current awaiting R10 on my CEC so the bridging Visa can be processed. Likely the bridging Visa won't be approved til December earliest based on waiting times mentioned on these forums. I was always under the...

I'm just going to fill it out and submit it and hope for the best, and explain in letter of explanation my confusion with it all and hope that suffices.

Cheers mate

Yeh i got the full refund

I've been told different things by different people and also seen different wording on CIC's websites for this, so just wondering if cancelled is the same as a refusal. My first PR application got cancelled as i forgot to upload a specific document. For context. Thanks

Shortened for title character limit purposes, but basically I have submitted my PR and now applying for a bridging Open Work Permit. On my document uploads, under Optional, I am getting a Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada (IM5257). Now, I am in...

You're a legend, thanks!

I have the two year working holiday visa. I got this job after coming to Canada. Am in a permanent position and have been at this job for over a year now.

Hi there, So I am at the stage of Express Entry where I am uploading my required documents and am absolutely baffled by this. I have been working in my job in Canada now for over a year, NOC B Level job. It's a permanent position. I have been asked to upload an Offer of Employment, a Letter...

Awesome, this is what I thought. I was going to renew one of them as I had been there for a couple of weeks last year, but really didn't want to thave to renew the other two if I didn't have to. Many thanks for the response!

Hi all, Long winded question, but there are 3 countries in which I would require a police certificate for Express Entry. Two of which I have not been back to since I last got the police certificate for my original working holiday visa to Canada. I am now applying for Express Entry and am...
