Hello, Anyone out there have any trouble getting a refund for an OWP? Submitted it along my PR app last year. PR was approved but I never received the permit and from what I understand, this entitles me to a refund. I've been refunded $100 from an initial payment of $255. Tried using the web...

Ahhh, interesting! So, I’m in Toronto and am planning a trip to New York. Unfortunately I don’t drive but there are coach/train travel options that would get me to NY from Toronto. That might be my best option. Also, I’m British. Thanks

Hello All! Firstly apologies if this has already been answered somewhere already. My PR was approved last week and I’m currently waiting for my card to arrive. I have a short trip to the US planned in early October and understand that I will need a PR travel document in order to return to...

Thanks! VO is Etobicoke I think…& I applied via mail from Toronto.

Ok, so I got my pre-arrival letter yesterday and then PR approved letter today! Best of luck to everyone <3

Hello all! Looking for some insight/reassurance.. Timeline is as follows; App sent (+OWP) - November 29th 2021 AOR - December 29th 2021 Biometrics Reminder - February 16th 2022 Biometric fee paid - February 17th 2022 Biometric Instruction - March 31st 2022 Biometrics Completed - April 4th 2022...

Hello, I was on implied status whilst my PR app was being processed. Ultimately the PR app got rejected and I lost my implied status on the 10th of August. I have just recently applied to restore my status as a visitor, though based on the information on the government’s website this could take...

Ok, thanks, it has already expired. The confusing aspect of IMM5708e is it only gives me the option to restore my status as a visitor, but since I've never held a visitor visa before, I don't see how that's an appropriate choice. As I'm technically out of status right now, would I not need to...

Hi, Quick question regarding visitor visa/status restoration.. I had a two year open work permit then went on to implied status whilst my PR app was being processed. The PR app was ultimately rejected so I now need to get a visitor visa. My question is, do I need to restore my status OR just...

Thanks! Do we need to be living together for the basic in-Canada class sponsorship, or is that just for the OWP aspect?

Hello all! I am originally from the UK and held a two year open work permit. I then applied for PR but the application got rejected as it was considered incomplete. I am now currently on a visitor visa. I recently married my Canadian girlfriend but we are not yet living together. Would this be...

Hi, I have an education related question. The ECA that I received from WES gave me ‘Secondary school diploma from a university-preparatory program with undergraduate credit’. However, when selecting my education for my EE profile there is no option to select this. There is 'Secondary diploma...

I received a PCC in 2017 and submitted it as part of my application for a two year work visa through IEC. However, I didn’t leave my home country (UK) until 2018, so there was a gap of a year. I gave the same PCC to my immigration lawyer who submitted it as part of my PR application this year.

Yeah, that’s exactly the situation. I feared the LMIA job offer route would be my only remaining option..

The whole situation has been a total nightmare.. I applied for permanent residency under CEC in May of this year via an immigration lawyer. I found out today that my application was rejected due to my police background check not covering the entire length of the time I was in my home country. I...

Hello All! I’ve been on implied status for the past few months whilst I wait for my PR app to be processed. Unfortunately it was rejected and I’m currently trying to appeal the rejection, obviously this means I no longer have status but does anyone now if there is any kind of work around that...

Many thanks for your advice! It’s certainly been better than my correspondence with IRCC... Last time I checked I would have around 500 points, thats with high scoring IELTS results. The earliest bookable date for IELTS looks to be the 9th of September (though this could very well change given...

I haven’t had an ITA yet. I’ve not managed to get any further than creating an EE profile but if I try and submit it without any IELTS results it seems like it just gets automatically rejected cause I don’t meet the basic criteria. Hence the need for an LoE as to why I cannot include them.

Hello, I’m having quite a bit of trouble submitting a Permanent Residency application under EE (CEC is what I’m aiming for). I’ve been in Canada for 20 months on a working holiday visa (originally from the UK) and have 14 months of full time work experience under NOC code 5225 which falls into...
