    HELP!!! Out-of-valid-status while living in Canada on the physical presence calculator

    Thank you for the input but I was not unlawfully present because I had applied for a PR that gave me the legal authorization to stay in Canada while waiting for my PR approval or denial. It's just that none of the provided 5 choices on the physical presence calculator apply in my case. Also...

    HELP!!! Out-of-valid-status while living in Canada on the physical presence calculator

    I was an international student for 4 years but became out-of-status while living in Canada for 214 days before getting my PR. I still have more than 365 full days (730 half-days) credit to count towards my physical presence in Canada prior to becoming a PR (with 1100 full days in total) so the...

    Help needed with physical presence calculator

    Still no reply from IRCC but the fun fact atm is my address history on the application says I was in Canada for the duration but my physical presence calculator doesn't. I wonder if I could submit it as is :confused: and do not get questioned or flagged especially considering the 183 days police...

    June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    Highly doubt it'll happen soon with so many applicants who are still super behind unless what @MericaEh said happens and we skip the line, which is unfortunate and unfair to others.

    Help needed with physical presence calculator

    I ended up submitting an inquiry through IRCC Webform yesterday in hopes to get a written reply instead of calling and being on hold for hours. Anyone have anything else in mind or had a similar problem? *bump*

    June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    So I came across the IRCC application status link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html and found a few good-to-know estimated processing times as shown below as of May 24, 2021: So currently it is taking about 6 weeks for AOR, and 2...

    Hello everyone, I am sure there a lot of folks like me who are preparing to submit their citizenship application in June.

    Help needed with physical presence calculator

    I did apply for a work permit at the same time I applied for a PR but it somehow was transferred to a secondary office and didn't get processed in time so I ended up cancelling it after becoming a PR as I received my permanent SIN with it that allows me to work. I guess I'll just leave a gap as...

    Open Work Permit (OWP) - How to link on MyCIC and timeline - 2018

    Yeah unfortunately they do make mistakes at times like everyone else, and if they deny your application because of it, you can appeal the decision through your local MP. Look up your local MP from here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members and have her or him contact IRCC. I've...

    Open Work Permit (OWP) - How to link on MyCIC and timeline - 2018

    Excellent question guys! Being able to link your application online means that your application is complete and you are now able to receive communications from IRCC. However, it doesn't guarantee your approval. The end result is still up in the air and it could be either positive, negative or...

    Open Work Permit (OWP) - How to link on MyCIC and timeline - 2018

    Gotcha! Then you’ll be fine as your OWP application was received before the expiry of your temporary resident status. You are probably looking to hear the good news in the last 2 weeks of October and can start working as soon as you activate your SIN number. My suggestion to you: start looking...

    Open Work Permit (OWP) - How to link on MyCIC and timeline - 2018

    The day CIC received it, and in most cases, it will say "received" 7 days before they actually received it. For example, in your case, it may say received on the 5th or the 12th of July. Not sure why CIC does it this way but it's a good thing, I guess... o_O Did you also submit a PR application...
