Absolutely great news :):)

You can expect passport request soon
Hello Bryanna, I will really appreciate if my question can be looked into as I am really confused right now. My spouse applied for an open work permit in October 2018 with the help of an immigration lawyer and got PFL in Nov 2018, because he innocently didn't declare that he was refused a US visa, the same lawyer responded to the PFL. It's more than 5 months now, and we haven't heard any response from the immigration officer. We asked the lawyer and he said we have to keep waiting. Presently, I'm also expecting and we are really confused on what to do. Can my spouse conduct a CSE about the application? Can he state/ include evidence that I'm expecting, may be it can expidite the response? Or should he pay the lawyer to conduct case specific enquiry? I'm very sorry for coming under someond else's trend. I hope I get a response from any one that has useful information on cases like this. Thank you.

When did you actually stop working? Submitting multiple letters that say different end dates will make things worse, especially if you did not work until June 2018.

You should request your case notes yourself to see where things stand with the application. Don't rely on the lawyer.

A pregnancy won't expedite the application. If anything, it may make it more difficult to get an approval.

Thank you for your prompt response. I don't mean to ask a stupid question, but I don't want to make more mistakes, what should the content of the note look like if you don't mind please?

Or do you think I don't need to write a brief letter to support my enquiry? And does it do any harm than good if I enquire?

The content varies from applicant to applicant. Once you receive the notes, you should copy and paste them here (with any personal information removed) and we'll be able to tell you exactly what the status of your application is. These notes will tell you if your application is still being reviewed and what the status is. If a decision has been made, the notes will also make it clear if a misrepresentation ban has been given.

No letter is required. That's not how it works. You simply submit a form requesting your notes.

Okay, is it the same thing as Case Specific Enquiry? Or can you share the link of the form with me please???

Because the lawyer said he can make a case specific enquiry for my spouse, adding the pregnancy informations and request for urgent processing and of course we are going to pay him for that service.

A case specific inquiry is you sending IRCC a message. Requesting GCMS notes is you filing an Access to Information Act request to get the visa officer's notes on your file.

Okay, thank you. So which one is the best in my situation? Or can I use either of the 2 means to enquire?
