Yes. They do not want you to apply until the 4 months just before your current permit expires or if it has already expired. You must have applied for TR to PR Pathway and show your original confirmation of submission from way back when you first applied, which is useful for applicants whose files have not yet been linked or started processing. This is from IRCC website:
Public policy: Open work permits for applicants under the temporary resident to permanent resident pathway
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the department’s website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
Temporary public policies aiming to transition foreign nationals already living and working in Canada to permanent residence were announced on April 14, 2021 and launched on May 6, 2021.
To support these permanent resident public policies, the Temporary public policy to exempt certain permanent residence applicants from work permit requirements A temporary public policy has been issuedwas signed on July 4. 2021, to provide exemptions from certain requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) to facilitate the issuance of open work permits to eligible individuals in Canada. Eligible family members may also apply for an open work permit.
A new public policy on issuing open work permits was signed on April 21, 2022 to come into effect on June 6, 2022.
The new public policy will:
- allow the issuance of open work permits with a longer duration (until December 31, 2024) to avoid the need for renewals; and
- expand the eligibility criteria of the open work permit public policy to include eligible family members abroad to help speed up family reunification.
Many people sit in 'background check in progress' for awhile (like me, a month & a half & still waiting) so it may not be a problem.
Not all application steps are processed in the same order and the length of time spent at each step can vary significantly -- from weeks to months.
Next steps for you is patience and checking your emails & account for any new requests. Next steps for IRCC can vary because, depending on your agent & the changing work demands of their office, they can process steps in varying orders & over varying times. But congratulations, you are linked, your application is being processed and, so far, very few applicants have been rejected. I applied to same stream as you on June 9, 2021 -- still waiting.
Thanks for reply I just got their confirmation after a whole day.
Thanks for reply and yes it took them a day to confirm that documents have been received.
I tried before but I only received automatic responses and people said about application delay if you send webform.
