Hi Guys!
today 7 of April my PR application under EE has been approved! I jut got the email asking my passport.

My ECAS still shows:
1. Application received on Jan 02
2. We stared processing your app on March 13
3. Medical exam received.

My CIC account still show: all in progress exepet for medical exam: passed.

As Amit experienced, after the approval letter they will change the ECAS status and only after one week or so they will change My CIC status.

I checked all the time more tan 10 times per day, but I have to say it doesn't make sense... after you ECAS has the same status above.. soon or later you will wake up a morning with the good news.. in your inbox email..

good luck guys!!

Congratulations!!! How long did you wait after the status changed to in progress? And when did CIC ask you for you canada criminal background check? THank uuuuu!

I have 30 days to submit my passport..

please note.. if you need a visa to travel in Canada they want the original passport, otherwise just need a paper copy of your passport.

mine is an Italian passport, so it's enough sending the copy of all the pages.. that' want the passport request email says...

Hey Andrew,

Firstly, Congratulations. Glad to see that CIC is keeping their word and applications are being processed within 6 months. When CIC emailed you for your passport, did they mention any cut-off time? Any other information mentioned on the "submission for passport" letter?

Thank you.

again my suggestions is checking the ECAS, if your ecas shows ...We started to processing your app and medical result received.. you should get the passport email any time.... "My cic" account is relative as it will show in progress until they send your passport back!! (except for medical exam which was actually the only thing that changed to passed)

Congratulations!!! How long did you wait after the status changed to in progress? And when did CIC ask you for you canada criminal background check? THank uuuuu!

Oh Thanks man! I have a 2 years masters degree from Canada. So dont need ECA. DO i need to take one for my undergraduate degree?

Birth Certificate isn't part of your document checklist. But some people uploaded it as part of Letter of Explanation.
IELTS scan copy is not requested at all. I think they are picking up the scores from the reference number you give as part of online forms.

Hello all friends,

Need your urgent help/suggestions
I have a serious issue that is of great concern to me and might be critical for PR application
I didn't end my job on a good note with my last employer back home as I resigned and they haven't accepted it yet due to some settlement issues. So technically I am still their employee. But for my experience I want to show that I have resigned since I have done masters after leaving the company and thus it would be against logic that I would still be working. But I am afraid it might be considered misrepresentation if CIC calls and asks for employment record.
Should I just write the timelines from my joining to date left or should I write an explanation letter with my application and inform CIC abt this which might harm my chances.
Good thing is that I have a senior in the company who can provide me with reference letter so that won't be an issue but what if CIC conducts background check with HR?
Please help

Regards,

If u have submitted a resignation letter, then that can be used as a valid job termination letter.
In your address it is required to indicate where all you have spend time and also the reason, so I think it would be safer to indicate your work experience.

To avoid complication, add a visiting/business card of your senior so that CIC can do reference check, attach old pay slip/advice if you have, also inform in your explanation letter that your previous employer will not issue you experience letter.

Hope this helps.

Hi Andrew can you please tell me your ecas time line when you got changed application received to in process becoz mine changed to in process on April 1st. Before I have only application received.

I called CIC to book an appointment and they said we need COPR to book one. Because they need the expiry date from it to book an appointment. The waiting time for the appointment here in my city is 6-8 weeks so I am planning to go to Coutts or Carway.
