thank you so much for your reply!! I really appreciate it. Was hoping this would be the case!

Thank you! This is good to know ☺️ they just make everything harder than it needs to be!

Hi. My PR card has my old name on it and my passport has new chosen names. I have changed my name legally in New Zealand and have been issued a new NZ passport with the new last and first name. I still have my old passport showing my birth names. New Zealand only issues you a new birth...

Hey, nope, not quite yet. Slow process. It seems I need to also change my name in BC. I am currently waiting for that to come through then I can apply for a new PR card with new name.

I didn’t think much of it but I am now needing to change my name on my PR card and it is asking for COPR. I never received this back when I received my PR card. Anyone else been in this situation? Are they sent direct to email or access through portal? Ircc super unhelpful and saying to apply...

I paid twice for biometrics, once on my temporary visa and then again a few years later for PR as they requested it. Has anyone been in a similar situation and successfully got a refund?

I recently legally changed both my first and last name in my home country. I applied for a new passport from home so that I would be able to change my name on my PR card . I was getting ready to apply for a new PR card But then I saw I need to send my COPR along with all the other documents. I...

Thank you so much!! This is incredibly helpful! I think I get confused by the fact there is no evidence to show I have implied status to an employer etc

I sent mine and it was received on August 18th 2020 and I haven't heard anything yet

I have for inland spousal PR back in August along with an open work permit. I haven't heard anything yet. My current visa (IEC) expires on the 20th of March 2021. I have a few questions and concerns surrounding my looming visa expiry I am wondering; do I automatically qualify for implied...

Just wanted to check in as I still haven't been able to connect and link my application online. I sent my PR Spousal application by mail and it was received on August 17th, 2020. Is it uncommon for me to still not be able to connect my account?? I sent it with a Bridging Open work permit...

Okay, thank you so much for responding! I read under eligibility that you have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more; you could be eligible? was basing it off of this being together for less than a year and getting married would this be under more scrutiny??

I am currently on an IEC visa with 7months left. I am living with my partner who is a Canadian citizen but we have only officially been living together since October 2020. I am unsure what my best option is to stay in Canada after my visa expires. Is an open work permit an option? I have been...

Hi do I send in my original copy of my police check? I have a hard copy UK one and a PDF for my New Zealand one

Thank you so much!! So helpful, I really appreciate it

It mentions it on IMM5556 under the documents checklist under passport. I visited in 2018 via the same border by land and they stamped it then so it seems odd. I am using a New Zealand passport. I'm applying for an open work permit at the same time as PR. Another question to do with that, if...

It mentions needing to have a photocopy showing "The stamp made by Canadian authorities on your most recent entry to Canada" I have my initial stamp in my passport when I arrived back in March 2019 but I went out of the country for a week holiday In August 2019 to Portland USA and I cant see a...

Thank you!

Hi Finishing up my PR application and a detail is making me anxious. I go by a different name to my legal name and in all the family/Friend letters i am referred to by my chosen name. On all the forms and ID it is my legal name. I did disclose the chosen name under the form when asked other...
