Hi all,
I'm currently in the a bit of an annoying situation.
I've applied on June 2nd, IP2 July 10th.
I just called CIC. A nice lady informed me that my background check is still in progress, but my eligibility is passed.
Important to know: Currently I'm under the young professional visa, expiring November 20th. I'm also planning a trip to Mexico on December 22nd.
Now, if I understand it correctly, once my PR application is completed, I'll get an invite for a landing for my local office (I assume Calgary since I live there). Then I take my documents & 2 pictures, and I "land" there.
This would need to happen before October 15 (2 months and a bit for PR card to arrive before my trip).
Alternatively, I can apply for a BOWP, but then I would have to land when I come back from Mexico.
Third option: I wait for PR (assuming I get it before November 20, when my current visa expires), and then get a PRTD.
First of all: Any advice in this case? I feel like applying for the BOWP would be the safest bet. In that case, can I reschedule the appointment (until my COPR expires?) or do I have to go to the appointment? Also, if that's the case, how do I provide my pictures etc. when I land on my return from Mexico?
Sorry if I've been unclear!
