I know I’ve asked this before, but never got a clear answer so trying again: if an applicant started process while in Quebec (CSQ application prior to Bill 9), then received invitation to resubmit through arrima, but did so while in USA, got CSQ while in States, sent in PR application to Sydney...

Well.... the 31 fast approaches and it's radio silence about this. No new info. from MIFI. Not even a hint from IRCC. And I'm finding very little in the forums and immigration websites about this. Any news?

I love how snarky folks are on these forums....;) MIFI's announcement didn't say the IRCC will start thinking about this new permit on August 31. MIFI said that as of August 31, the policy will come into effect, thus enabling people to apply under new guidelines. (À la demande du Québec, le...

There’s still nothing about this on IRCC website…talked to an agent yesterday and she said she hadn’t heard anything about this program. She didn’t even know it was set to come into effect soon…not a great sign

Question: Do you think they will establish a system of authorizing applicants to start working immediately while waiting for a decision as is case with other work permit applications? Is it possible that this will be a straightforward application process or at least a streamlined one in which...

MIFI just announced an agreement between Ottawa and Quebec to issue Bridging Open Work Permits to "certain" CSQ holders with AORs. http://www.mifi.gouv.qc.ca/fr/presse/communiques/com20210806.html?fbclid=IwAR32raKVp8h4RDKfYGCN5AHT2bSXwxfqPikJyZgECt0UHAuaJKyYfPqM970 The announcement states this...

No entries under group name or number :( I submitted July 2020.

I ordered my ATIP notes and the first page says, RPRF and Cost Recovery "Outstanding." But in fact, I paid the Right to PR fee with the application when I sent for a total of $1,410.00. Any thoughts on what I should do, if anything? Also, I called and agent said criminlaity check in progress...

As soon as you submit your PGWP you can start working full-time (there are some conditions). Students who have completed their program of study Students who have completed their program of study are allowed to work (under paragraph 186(w) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations...

I submitted a change of address but didn’t get a confirmation or even automated response. Will they eventually email?

Will they send any kind of confirmation that they updated file with new address?

Ah I see. So you think university won’t let me register for “thesis evaluation” if I’m on a work permit? Technically I’ve reached time limitation and would only be able to register for thesis eval anyway...

Thanks for your response. Do you mean on a PGWP? IRCC says that if you have a CSQ you’re LMIA exempt and with a pending PR application and a job offer (during pandemic), you can apply for an open work permit, no?

Sorry, it looks like there’s some confusion. I wasn’t on leave from my studies. I was still enrolled. I was on leave from my teaching job (professional development leave) and I have been living and working in the US. I didn’t obtain a work permit as I was just offered the full time contract. I...

I was on leave so I didn’t actually work full time but I was offered the a full time contract at one point.

Apologies if a thread on this already exists... Context: I have a CSQ and pending PR application (QSWP) no AR yet. Currently in US on H1B. Grad student in Canada on a study permit but won't defend PhD diss. till late fall. Meanwhile, I have full-time job opportunity. Problem: it's not a new...

Alas I’ve spent thousands of dollars on lawyers in mtl over the years. Largely useless. They just read policy to you and most often we—the people affected— know it by heart already. They just want to charge huge amounts to fill out the forms for you. Beyond that they all tend to interpret policy...

Hi everyone, Hope to hear your thoughts on this situation. I'm in a real bind. I have a CSQ but no AR yet. I'm not eligible for any of the work permits (ANY!!! yes, just my luck) because applied for CSQ under old program when they were letting graduate students apply after completing their...

Hi Everyone. Hope to hear your thoughts on this situation: I took an approved leave of abscence from my PhD program after my first year. During that time I left Canada and returned to my country. I then resumed program a year later, have since renewed study permit twice with no problems. Now...

What makes an application Outland b inland? I applied for CSQ while in Montréal then submitted PR app with address in USA. Moving back to Montréal in July. If I update my address then to Quebec address will they treat it as inland? Any thoughts?
