Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[Miss bee]

Hi there,
I applied for SINP non express entry PR. I am on PGWP and I’m thinking about the BOWP work permit extension, cause it will expire next year. I understand that it requires NO employer restrictions on the SNP nomination letter, but mine has ‘Yes’ under employer restriction. In that case, if I need to extend my work permit , how could I proceed?

I just wanted to know what the possible options are for extending the work permit.

Thanks in advance !

Unfortunately if you have employer restrictions on your nomination certificate, only option is closed work permit. For that your employer need to submit job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees . You have to request new WPSL if previous one is 6 months old . Once you have closed work permit, you can't work another job .

Hi there,

Thanks in advance !

Since your nomination is employer-specific, you can apply for a closed work permit using:

• Your SINP Nomination Certificate, and
• A valid Job Offer Letter from the employer listed on the nomination, and
• A work permit support letter from SINP (valid for 6 months from date of issue).

Hi @Miss bee i hope you are having a good weekend. I hope you can answer this question if you dont mind- is it normal to receive pal but not medical ( blank on GC ) how long does it take for it to be updated? and also would you happen to know why the BCG shows as not applicable. Thanks!

Yes, it’s not uncommon in some cases to receive a Pre-Arrival Letter (PAL) before your medical information appears in the GCMS notes or your online portal. Sometimes, even though the medical has been completed and passed internally, the system takes time to reflect that in the client portal or GCMS due to processing lags or staggered data updates. Regarding the BCG (Background Check) section showing as “Not Applicable,” that usually means the specific type of background verification (like enhanced security or criminality checks) hasn’t been initiated or is not required in your specific case, at least at that stage. It doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem—it can just reflect how your file is being routed or processed based on risk level, stream, or office handling it. If your medical has already been completed and sufficient time has passed, you can also try confirming its status via the IRCC webform or through GCMS notes if you haven’t done so recently.

@Miss bee Good afternoon from Dubai. My AOR under PNP-NE was done on March 15, 2025, and nothing so far. All my status shows not required if it changes, we will notify to you. How long I need to wait for changes in my application?

My application was submitted on September 25, 2024.

My application was submitted on September 25, 2024.

Note processing time is almost 1.5-2 years. There is no certain timeline to receive any updates. I can happen in few months or can come in few weeks . Outland applications are taking more time than inland applications .

Thanks a lot for your response @Miss bee. Is there any way to escalate it?

@Miss bee
I received PPR mail for my name with families but I and my spouse are inside Canada and my dependent younger son is in home country. So, my dependent younger son submitted his Passport and one letter mentioned that I and my spouse are inside Canada. Then after two days, I received two portal 1 mails.
One has attachment for my name and second one has attachment of my spouse name.
So, I replied first mail with details of mine and my spouse. and I replied second mail with details of only my spouse. I did not mention the details of my dependent younger son and my non dependent elder son( age-25 , inside Canada on PGWP). Is it OK ?
Or I have to reply again with both son's detail ?
Or I have to reply again with detail of only one dependent younger son ?
I have two sons. One is 18 which is dependent on me and included in my PR application and he is in India.
Second one is 25 and He is not included in my PR application and he is in Canada on PGWP.
Please, guide me, as I am confused ?

Based on what you’ve described, it sounds like you handled the Portal 1 emails correctly for yourself and your spouse, since both of you are currently inside Canada and are included in the PR application. You’ve already submitted the necessary details for both of you in response to the portal emails.
As for your younger son, who is 18, dependent, and outside Canada, it’s also appropriate that he did not receive a Portal 1 email—he should instead go through the passport submission (PPR) and visa stamping process at the visa office in his home country. Since the outland process is different from the in-Canada eCOPR process, his information does not need to be included in your Portal 1 replies. So you do not need to resend anything or reply again with his details.
Regarding your elder son, who is 25 years old, on a PGWP in Canada, and not included in your PR application—there is no need to mention him at all. Since he is not part of the PR application, his details are not required in the portal process.
In summary, you do not need to send any additional replies. Your responses are fine as they are. Just ensure your younger son completes the passport submission process outside Canada, and you and your spouse follow the instructions through the PR confirmation portal to receive your eCOPRs.
