Dear all,

I have applied for PR under FSW program in September 2019. My application was sent to security screening in February (ADR: CV + Student form) and then COVID-19 happened. I applied for PR while living in the US, and now my time of authorized stay in the country is coming to an end. I will have to leave the US one way or another (it's pretty complicated during COVID-19), and might as well happen to stay in an interim third country until my country of citizenship opens borders. I may also have a transfer from my current company to one of the European offices, but it's a big TBD.

A question now: how will this moving affect my PR application? How should I contact IRCC in this case? The FAQ on the website says "Contact the nearest visa office" in the country of residence, however, my file is currently in Ottawa.
Would I be required to re-submit any documents (new police certificates, for example) or re-apply? My financial proofs I've provided for application are also from a US bank.
Or should I stay in the US until my PR is approved? In this case I might incur unlawful presence though - how is it going to affect my entry to Canada?

Will be grateful for ANY good advice!
 
I am sure there are people here who ran out of their US OPTs or were denied H1B visas and had to leave the US for another country (home country).
so I would love to hear personal experiences and hopefully success stories.
