Hi @Miss bee

We received our Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) P1last March 11. We applied for one principal applicant and three dependents, but we only received COPR P1 for the principal applicant and two dependents. Should we submit a web form to address this issue, or should we wait for further updates?

Thank you!

Hi @Miss bee
Since I have an OINP PNP nomination under the International Student Stream with an employer job offer, and my PR is in process (non-Express Entry), my work permit expires in December. Should I apply for a closed work permit ( how to do that ) or a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP)?


Also MP said that - MY PR application is being processed in the Windsor office. The medical and criminality assessments have been completed and the eligibility assessments are in progress. The security assessments have not yet started. Does this mean background check is done?

In your situation, it’s best to submit a web form to notify IRCC about the missing COPR for one of the dependents. This will help ensure the issue is addressed promptly. When submitting the web form, provide details such as:

1. Your UCI and application number.
2. The names and UCIs of all applicants, including the missing dependent.
3. A brief explanation of the situation.
4. Any supporting documents (e.g., confirmation of the missing dependent’s inclusion in the application).
This proactive approach can help avoid unnecessary delays.

If you don't have any employer restrictions on your nomination certificate, you can apply for BOWP . If there is restrictions only option is to apply for closed work permit.

Okay I do have emp restriction mentioned. But my concern is that the wp support letter that i got along with PNP that has already expired since my PNP approval was from last year. I am already under pr processing ( currently bg check ongoing ). Can I still apply for closed work permit?

You need a valid WPSL . You should request new one from PNP office. You can use expired nomination certificate. Your employer need to submit valid job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees .
 
Hello @Miss bee
The company I currently work for which is the parent company is dissolving & they are moving all employees to one of their subsidiary companies. Will I need an updated nomination certificate and will I need to refill some of my IMM forms submitted to the government. My role or duties doesn't change. I also haven’t gotten AOR yet
Note: My PNP nomination certificate is employee tied. What can I do?

reach out to the province and get a new letter.
 
Hi @Miss bee ,

I really hope you can help me with my inquiry.

I am a full-time international PhD student in BC who just received a nomination through the BCPNP to apply for the PR (Non-EE Stream) Through the international post-graduate stream. I will submit my PR application within the next two weeks.

Last week, I received an offer letter from a big US company for a 3-month internship this summer. I will be working in person which means I will have to be away during this internship period. However, my address in BC will be sustained throughout this period as my spouse (will be included as an accompanying dependant. Will be attending grad school in BC starting in Sep 2025) and child (Canadian by birth). I will be doing this internship under the "industrial internship" course through my university, which means I will be also maintaining my full-time status as a graduate student. The internship is in WA and I plan to travel back to BC every other week to visit my family until my internship is finished then I will be back to resume my coursework and other degree requirements.

I have been studying since Sept 2021 (this is 3.5 years) where I earned my master's and then followed up with my current PhD studies, both in BC.

Question: Will this harm my PR application? Does this violate my declared intention to live in BC? Again, I am still a full-time graduate student and this internship is in coordination with my school, of course.

Thank you so much!
