Hi to all! I sent my application last oct 24 and cic received it on the 27th. When are they going to open it. I overlook the expiration of my documents (work permit and trv) while waiting for the final stage of approval for my pr application. And its over 42 months since since i lost status. I called cic last week and said they are on background check already. My question is, how long does it take for my renewal and restoration of status be granted? Thank you very much for any insights that you can give regarding this matter. I applied pr on apr 5, 2011.
