Oh wow, I mean, I know this is true, but I am not sure if I am that brave lol. Like, it is the kind of law that no 1 knows, what if the officer at the border tries to screw with me?
This is not an advice, but I forgot to mention it last time on my TRV/study permit, and nothing happened, I was approved
Flagpoling is legal !Oh wow, I mean, I know this is true, but I am not sure if I am that brave lol. Like, it is the kind of law that no 1 knows, what if the officer at the border tries to screw with me?
Why are you worried ?
CBSA officers follow guidelines they won't screw with you !
I'm curious to know if I have an expired TRV and study permit can I still come back to Canada after visiting USA based on the implied status of applying for PGWP and that I'll be TRV exempt. (I can either fly back into Canada or use a bridge land crossing)
Based on this article: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/implied-status-extending-stay.html?fbclid=IwAR2-KNWoCpKVUQIV1OMr8_eXve7C1rkBYkjv9IF7bBVY73r8ax2SKyWjwfA
In this article, it says I can enter back as long as I'm in my approved stay period. Does implied count as my study permit is already expired.

I'm confused as to what is approved stay as its deemed by the officer: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/visa-validity-expiry-dates.html
Lastly, If I don't have PGWP in hand as I'm out of the country and is mailed to me in Canada can I enter without having it?

Hey guys so I applied in May 30th and I got approved yesterday on September 23rd I had been paranoid seeing that people who applied June had started seeing theirs but I’m glad mine came through so for others who applied May and are still waiting for theirs have faith yours will come out too. Also does anyone know when I get the hard copy cause I need to apply for my TRV
Hey guys, thx for sharing the info so let me know what's the actual processing time for the ircc.
Just wondering if anyone applied on June 8th received any updates? I'm applying for Coop work permit but it's under the same category as PGWP. Appreciate your info

Hey guys, so I had an impression that normally it would take about a week to receive the physical copy of your work permit according to some people's posts. However, my application got approved on September 5th and I still haven't received my permit yet to my mailing address.. I'm just worried how long it's taking to get delivered. Is it normal to take this long? It's already been 2 weeks and a half of waiting so far. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
Hi guys,
