How can you be out of status and still be allowed to be in Canada? I was told that was very important not to be out of status. This is all so nerve wracking...#needemotionalsupportvodka

When I was a visitor I applied for a visitor extension, then when I had lived with my partner here for 1 year we became "common law" partners so then I could apply for PR status with him as my sponsor. I then applied and sent in my OWP application so I remained "in status" in Canada. That is very important to remain "in status" of some kind whether it be as a visitor, worker, student or implied status as you are in the process of your PR app.

Then you should have implied status. Good.

They actually never updated our BGC progress. I can't recall when it started, but I would assume after SA. We didn't get any updates on the progress bars on GCKey in general, even after AIP and getting the interview date. In fact, even as far as yesterday, it still said they were reviewing eligibility even though they had already sent us the AIP via email. After getting the COPR we decided to check again once we got home and the app simply said it was completed. I think in general ECAS is a lot more up to date than GCKey.
