Hi,

My current work permit and TRV is valid until 31-December-2021. For some unavoidable reasons I have to visit India in December, and I am planning to come back by 29th December 2021. Will it be a problem to re-enter Canada just 2 days before the expiry date of TRV?

PS: Recently, I applied for my OWP extension and expected to get approved by December. I cannot get TRV renewed before my expected travel date.

Has anyone actually messaged them via the web form about their application?
I did. I submitted additional documents that are not required by visa officers via webform and received generic response saying they will attach my documents to my profile soon. I wait for 2 months but didn’t see any file was added to my application so I call the help centre - turns out the documents were not attached so the agent wrote a note on my profile.

Is anyone from May still waiting?
jop, applied May 7th, still nothing
It’s PGWP with spouse, we already called twice and we sent an urgention request because we both work in essential services and now we can’t get our driving licence or health care extended.
Really frustrating

You are able to see the note? What does it say? The files were finally added to your file? I am in the same situation.

No I didn’t see the note. The document is a receipt that very important to my application. When I called the help centre the agent told me they didn’t see any additional documents so they ask me the reference code and search that in their system. I didn’t see what exactly they put on my profile but they said they wrote down the reference code and something like “payment has been verified by agent”

Can you share any of your friend's file number like the first 6 digits if possible? As I also applied on 31st of July but no updates yet.... I am hoping to get it by next week

Thank you

Applied on July 19th in BC, current status changed to "Profile updated" today. However, there is no new message or file to read, the application status page is exactly the same as before, and my current status has changed back to "submitted". Hopefully, some officer is working on my file and i can get a real update soon! Hope you guys get some updates soon as well!

I just checked again and the status has been changed to "Application/Profile Update". Guess who's not sleeping tonight.

Edit: back to "Submitted" again.
