    Question about a letter received from IRCC

    I wanted to confirm that my work permit was approved, despite the weird letter. Last week I got a new letter saying my application had been approved (and actually included my personal info and UCI; no blanks), and today my work permit came in the mail (for one year). My spouse's was included as...

    Question about a letter received from IRCC

    I'm on a PGWP and I applied for PR in June. I received my AoR and BIL, however, my PGWP (and my spouse's) expires in November, so I also applied for a BOWP. Today I got a letter with subject "WP-EXT only except PGWP" and the first paragraph says: So, two blanks where my WP number and a date...

    Should I pay biometrics fee a second time in my Bridging Open Work Permit application?

    I've received my AoR for my PR application and in that file, I paid for the biometric fees (and have my biometric letter--haven't been able to provide them due to covid). Now I'm filling out the BOWP and initially I answered 'No' to the question "Have you submitted biometrics in the last 10...

    Applied to PR, still haven't passed R10, work permit expiring

    Thanks, NewDestination! The stars aligned and I was able to talk to an immigration officer, who sent me some information by email (and you are correct!). Turns out that there's different wording on the website and on the email system: Here's a snippet from the email I got: Here's what's on...

    Applied to PR, still haven't passed R10, work permit expiring

    Thanks, NewDestination. I wanted to assume that, but right now, it still says "We are verifying your eligibility" or something like that, which, when I mouse over the ?, it says that the completeness check is part of that.

    Applied to PR, still haven't passed R10, work permit expiring

    I applied for PR (from inside Canada) at the end of June this year, and so far, my only two updates have been the Biometrics letter and that we passed the medical check. However, as I understand it, I can't apply for an extension/bridging work permit until I pass R10. My Post Grad Work Permit...

    For EE profile, should I list spouse's work history if I don't intend to claim points for her?

    Thanks, that makes sense. Should I explain this in the LoE, or is it the de facto standard?

    For EE profile, should I list spouse's work history if I don't intend to claim points for her?

    I'm creating an EE profile again, and I'm wondering if it's better to: List my spouse's work history in the EE profile, and then move it to personal history in the APR (we don't want to claim any points). Not list her work history in the EE profile, and simply add it to the personal history in...

    Permanent Residency/EE Profile Cancelled due to unneeded ECA

    Unfortunately the reply simply reiterated that my application had been cancelled due to being incomplete :(. The letter said that the information in my current Express Entry Profile would be available to re-enter the pool; however, when I click on that, it says "Locked and Transmitted." Is...

    Permanent Residency/EE Profile Cancelled due to unneeded ECA

    Hi @navinball : that's what I did in the APR (I removed her education history, listing it only in the personal history), I was not able to do it in the EE profile because it was already locked. Does that make a difference or not really?

    Permanent Residency/EE Profile Cancelled due to unneeded ECA

    Actually, I had one last question: the letter cites Section 10 and Sections 12.01 to justify the refusal. From my inexperienced perspective, the relevant article of Section 10 seems to be: and S12: Any advice to address these? Or should I create a new thread for this question?
