    Did you receive the document that confirms your new status in the 'messages about your application' section? I received COPR on Oct 13 (email notification and showing in account) but have not received the actual document or any portal messages!

    Provincial Nominee - flagpoling / getting a work permit with BC-PNP support letter?

    My immigration consultant said that IRCC had told the designated representatives on a call in April that there is no way for provincial nominees in Canada to be issued with a work permit (even if approved online) without going to the border. Is this no longer the case?

    Provincial Nominee - flagpoling / getting a work permit with BC-PNP support letter?

    Hello, Hoping to gain some clarity on this unusual situation. I received a BC Provincial Nomination on March 25, 2020, including a work permit support letter.

    This exact situation happened to me. I submitted my application on May 4 (AOR May 5) and had no idea that the fees had changed - it was pure chance (and terrible timing) that I found out afterwards. I paid the difference the next morning and submitted the receipt via the webform with an LOE...
