PNP - PR - Jan-Feb-March 2015 Applicants!

[BadshahIqbal]

As I mentioned before, I'm not an immigration lawyer so no matter what I say you'd better consult with a lawyer.

If it says "No Restriction on Employment" then you should be good with BOWP.

However, to me, this is a kind of grey area and it's ultimately the officer's decision. So, if you could get the employer pay the"Complience Fee" then it's safer to go with LMIA Exempt Work Permit. If not then BOWP should work.

Is this is a new rule??

I dont know why they are rejecting...Me and 3 of my three friends. All Alberta nominees got BOWP just with the nomination certificate in feb 2015.

Did they change the rule?

[PR Candidate]

Hi guys,

I would like to share my timeline:

Nomination received (AINP – no restriction) – December, 2014
Application sent to CIC – February, 2015
XEP – April, 2015
EP – June, 2015
Medical request – September, 2015
Additional docs request + RPRF – September, 2015
Medical received – October, 2015
“In Process” – October, 2015
Post-grad work permit (3 years) expired – November, 2015
Bridging open work permit issued for 1 year – November, 2015
DM – waiting

 

[PR Candidate]

Guys, I need advice.

I got Bridging Work Permit for 1 year. Since CIC updated their processing times to 15 months now, it looks like I will be getting Passport Request in May, 2016 if everything goes the same pace for CIC as it is right now (which is unlikely, but let’s assume).

I was thinking of applying for Express Entry meanwhile. Can I apply for it with Bridging Work Permit? Are two different applications for PR acceptable in Canada, having my PNP application at “In Process” stage? I phoned CIC and asked the same questions, but they cannot help in this case.

My worry is, it is basically my last year in Canada as a Worker since you are allowed to work here for 4 years maximum on WP (3 years PGWP + 1 year BOWP). If “In Process” gets delayed for more than May 2016, I’m gonna have to apply for Visitor Visa and stay here waiting for PR without the job after my BOWP expires.

If anyone here is in the same situation, please share your thoughts.

Thanks

Hey there

I am sure there is no issue in having multiple PR applications. My friend had 2 applications - one in Express Entry and one in Provincial nominee. But he got his PPR before, so just withdrew his Provincial application.

Wish you all the best.

Guys,

Where did you do your RCMP criminal record check? I have learnt that usually, they do it through Commissionaires. Just wanted to know from you all.

Cheers.

Hi,

Was your friends PNP application at CIC when he withdrew it? Do you know his time line roughly?

Yes it was at CIC when he withdrew. Not sure about the timeline bud.

Hi,

One case sample discussed earlier was:
2014 end fsw and pnp: Both went through cic stage together and got intimation from province asking to withdraw one because the destination at fsw was to different province.
So if the destination is different then its an issue. If not i dont see an issue.

Guys,

I need your input.

I completed my medicals on Sept 10,2015. My case was submitted to CIC thru e-medical on Oct29.

In november, I received correspondence from CIC to either submit proof of completion or complete the exam. Based on this, I sent them a correspondence through mail. I submitted the information sheet that is obtained from the Physician which shows the medical was completed and submitted to CIC. This was later received at CIC.

Today, jan 5th, i received another automated email from 'Centralized-Intake-Office@cic.gc.ca' (I think the ID is automated can someone confirm?)
They have requested me to do the medical exam or to submit proof of completion again.

I dont know whats going on.. my doctor suggested to contact them as everything has been submitted. Maybe its a glitch in their system? Also, CIC asked to use the case specific inquiry system for further inquiry.. is this to submit documents? whats the purpose of this?

thanks!!

Ask the doctor to send the same results using this IME number which vo has sent.
Yes that email id is a general one but we received general email (for pcc, new passport, rprf) on 30 Dec but not for MR. In this email they said that we need to do MR if we have not done based on MR email.
We received MR through the email Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca on 23rd Dec.
