Which kind of message did you choose? I chose 'Verification of Status or Replacement of an Immigration Document file '
There is no my record. Please give me some ideas.

Hoping someone can help me with an answer!

I'm in the UK waiting for my PR (UK citizen), but can I visit Canada on a tourist visa while I'm waiting? I haven't seen my girlfriend in over 7 months now, and God knows how much longer it's going to be.

I would obviously need to have return flights to satisfy the immigration person at the airport that I wasn't intending to remain without PR, but do you think it would be a problem other than that?

No problem at all! You can come for a visit!
I was in Canada twice while I was waiting to get my PR

Awesome! Did the immigration official ask you about your PR or why you were visiting? Did you have to prove you weren't planning on staying?

No questions asked!
Two trips was for 3 weeks.
Probably if your trip will be for 3 or 4 month they will start to ask questions

Guys I've had a roller coaster time with this whole PR thing.

I'll tell you my story since there is no other news happening right now.

I applied for PR in October 2014. CIC received my application on October 20th 2014 (Soooooooooooooo lucky). I received confirmation in Feb 19th 2015. I applied for BOWP in march as my work permit was finished in April 1st. June I received an email to say they rejected BOWP as my passport photo never attached online so they rejected it based on an incomplete application. (I could rant about this for hours but I won't bore you all). I went home to Ireland and came back to Canada in Jan 2016 as a visitor hoping I was only a few weeks from getting PR (luckily my job allows me to work anywhere in the world with just my laptop).

In March 2016 (The day of my birthday) I received an email from CIC telling me my application was rejected because I was a contractor for the majority of my experience here in Canada. The next day I went and got a lawyer to represent me. He told me I had nothing to worry about and that he will file an appeal with the DOJ.

(Even though your company say you are a contractor for tax purposes you can actually be legally deemed an employee due to the relationship between you and the employer. e.g if you work in their building, they set your tasks and time, you are using their equipment, and you are not allowed to subcontract out the work. All this means you are legally deemed an employee)

Anyway, He filed the appeal with the DOJ in which I had to sign an affidavit. May 3rd I received an email from the DOJ saying that CIC had agreed to re-review my case. May 23rd I received the RPRF email. I paid immediately! May 25th they emailed me again requesting to do RCMP police checks as my old ones had expired. I went and did them immediately.

Now its a waiting game for them to receive the results and hopefully next stop ppr

Haha Well I came to Canada with nice brown hair....... Its now grey!

So In total it cost me $4000 for the lawyer I got. He has an amazing reputation and also win rate on appeals.

The process was I went to his office explained absolutely everything (I made an error in not photocopying my application so everything was from memory). We then went through and he said there has been previous cases like this regarding contracting and employee relations so precedence has been set. I gave him all the evidence I physically had. I signed the affidavit and he submitted the appeal electronically.

I received an email from my lawyer with a fax from the DOJ stating that CIC has agreed to re-review it. nearly a month later I received my RPRF and have communicated with CIC only since.

Now this is just my case. There are other cases that go to court in order to have the decision over turned. So I got very lucky because that can take up to an extra year.
