    Confirmation of PR

    Some inland applicants received PPR (short for passport request) which means they need to send their passport to Ottawa in order to get the landing letter (COPR). However, some received COPR directly. Due to Covid, their COPR announces "Congratulations! You are a PR of Canada!" without having to...

    Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

    Got COPR on May 5th. Still waiting for the card. They must be sleeping on photos. I mailed my photo to the Ottawa office as soon as I got COPR. Because I did not use a tracking number, I do not even know if they have received it. Just sent them a Web form asking about this.

    I am shocked by the tiny tiny market of Canada

    I would love to explain more about it. I hold a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design in my home country. Before coming to Canada, I worked as an industrial designer and a graphic designer. So yes I have a design background. For a person with a design background, UI design is supposed to be...

    Is it Fake? Or genuine?

    The website looks absolutely funny... Facebook, Linkedin and other socials are all linked to another web design entity, which apparently was the one this fake hospital entity hired to fake this website. What is funny is, the navigation only says, About us, Contact us, and Careers. Who visiting...

    I am shocked by the tiny tiny market of Canada

    When you apply online, you can see if employers have given your application a view. I think GTA is a competitive place with tons of graduates looking for work. They have more than enough resumes to pay for and check other than mine. Another reason can be I do not have connections there because I...

    I am shocked by the tiny tiny market of Canada

    Just keep trying. I am also Chinese and I do not even have a degree in Canada relevant to the job I want to find. All I have is a college certificate. I want to switch career to UI/UX, so I took 3 months to complete the college certificate. I started looking for work early this June. Without...

    Any news from Montreal VO recently?

    By DM do you mean the passport request? Outland applicants and some inland applicants get a passport request and they need to send their passport to Ottawa before receiving the COPR letter (if this is what you mean by pre-arrival letter). Before the passport request, or like in my case the COPR...

    Any news from Montreal VO recently?

    Congrats to you too! It seems your application has gone through a rather long battle. In my case, I received two GUs before receiving the landing interview DM, but the interview was later cancelled due to Covid. In early May I received COPR directly as an inland applicant, which announced the PR...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    Thank you for the reassurance. One problem is I was once told to have the landing interview, but have not received COPR. Applicants who have gone through the passport request and received COPR and their passport back, now can skip landing. For applicants like me, I am not sure we will skip...

    Confirmation of PR

    From another forum. It was for an applicant who has already received COPR and their passport back. But they do not have to send back their COPR or photos. They just wait to receive their PR card.

    Alright. Thank you for explaining.

    Confirmation of PR

    By trip, do you mean landing appointment for inland applicants? Why was it scheduled three months after your COPR? Usually it is scheduled a month after receiving COPR. Now it seems clear that cic is issuing such emails for inland applicants who have received COPR that they can skip the landing...

    Confirmation of PR

    Yesterday I saw someone posted an email from CIC saying 'Congradulations! You are a PR now!' and the landing process can be skipped. The person mailed their passport at the beginning of March and received COPR and their passport at the end of march, but their COPR is said to be invalid due to no...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    I wonder if they are really conducting phone interviews. They said giving phone interviews for quite a while and nobody to my knowledge has received one. I don't know how to contact my local visa office. Phone agents would say I had to wait (I heard today they reopened the call center) and web...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    It is because all landing appointments that were originally scheduled after Mar 15th now have been postponed until further notice. Inland applicants can't either get their COPR or go to the border to make the landing. They have to maintain their legal status to stay in Canada during this waiting...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    I answered a set of questions and the system should know about my background and based on that it recommends to me options. I am actually thinking that in my case, the system may make me qualify for an open work permit under the humanitarian situation when a student may qualify for an open work...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    Thank you for your reply! I also have a strong doubt whether I qualify. The system should not offer anything I do not qualify for :(

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    Hi Thank you for your reply. I am wondering about this because the system gives me two options, open work permit, and post-graduate work permit. The application process shows that the open work permit option lets me skip uploading my degree completion letter and the final transcript. I doubt if...

    Does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit as a student?

    I am a PR applicant of EE on a Study Permit hoping to extend my stay after graduation, can I apply for an open work permit instead of the Post-graduate work permit?

    >>>>>>>>June 2019 AOR<<<<<<<Join here

    sorry for the late reply. I was assigned to take the interview with the Ottawa VO as I am currently in Ottawa. But cic has announced the landing interview from now on will be replaced by a phone interview due to the outbreak of corona virus :/
