Hi All....

Just want to share my experience and frustration with CIC.

As you all probably know, CIC does not transfer files to other consulates, in case you had to move back to your home country in the middle of your application process. And unfortunately, you are also not allowed to mail your passport across country borders according to Indian law. Your only option is to send it through an authorized representative and have it stamped.

I was reading somewhere about open work permits and decided to email CIC and ask them if I am eligible to apply for one. An open work permit does not require a job offer or a LMO, and is usually given to spouses of people who are already working in Canada. I explained to CIC about the status of my application, and they said I was eligible to apply.

So, I sent in my application, along with the email confirming eligibility. After 10 days, they sent back my passport back saying that I was misinformed. Unless, I have a job offer I cannot apply for a work permit.

So much for their information. Lost $150/- on the application, and a waste of time and energy. With the PR process being delayed, the emotional roller coaster is really getting to me.

Sorry, I know this is not the place, but had to just share my frustration.

Hi
I guess you got an email for this? Was that from LA office or from Buffalo?
Best of luck; you're hopefully in the home run!

Hello,

My file has been also transferred to LA office California.I did not get any E-mail .but i was checking my E-CAS it was written there That they has transferred my file on 26th oct.

Don't know how long it's going to take now.

I sent my all pcc ,Fbi original with my application .it may happen LA office can ask again, bz it takes too much time to get fbi report .

What is the LA office E-mail id so that i can add in my contact list so that it will not go in spam folder.


Thanks
