My 3 year PGWP visa is expiring soon. I reside in Quebec. I have CSQ. I am working.

My question: To apply for close work permit, do I need to get Offer of Employment Number from my employer?

Someone here (inland from QC) who got DM before the pandemic has received COPR? Our application was approved by March, 13th and we have no news since then..

Employer has to create job offer on the employer portal, deposit compliance fees of $ 230 and provide you with a job offer ID for your A 75 application.

I noticed on the tracker that some people have received a pre arrival email and currently they are waiting for the medical request. (they applied in the same period as we I did)
I haven’t received the pre arrival email neither the MR !
is it possible to receive both emails together?!

I have the same question, I got MR but no pre-arrival until now. What does Pre-arrival letter mean??? Is there anyone got COPR without a pre-arrival letter? I noticed some people leave the "pre-arrival letter " box empty and they got COPR.

I m having the same timeline as yours and also waiting for the MR, as I received the pre-arrival letter in March-2020.
Did you start using the pre-arrival services, joining/signing them and telling them ur estimated landing date in Canada?
Have you find them effective, any thoughts.....
