Good day everyone!

Finally!! My Permanent residence application has been approved, and I am just waiting to pick up my passport in the mail. I just wanted to share a few words.
CanadaVisa is a true lifesaver. Words cannot explain how helpful folks on this forums are. I fear to imagine what my application process would have been like without the help of @ jes_ON. jes_ON!! you really helped me a lot. I feel like I should pay you a fee for it because I could have paid a lawyer for the same type of help. 98 percent of the consultants I met where not really helpful.

I also want to thank


1. @ Steph C
2. @ parker24
3. @ Konan1982
4. @ ahm2307
5. @ scylla
6. @ maniac2403
7. @ iamitguy

You guys are amazing and God bless you all!

Pointers for current and future applicants that may or may not be helpful

My application was a pretty unique situation

1. I applied about 9 months after my permit expired, I thought I was under implied status (I previously applied under common law but
cancelled my application to apply under CEC)
2. I didn't send my t4 for 2013 and I applied in 2014. I sent t4 for every other previous years (I never got an email demanding I send my 2013 t4 or anything else)
I Only sent t4 for the qualifying work experience years. I sent paystubs, ROE and all.
3. I sent a letter explaining why I remained in Canada after my work permit expired/explaining my T4 will be available upon request.

For new applicants! This process can be stressful but if you do the right thing and have your questions answered by the right people, you will be just fine!
Be mindful of the lawyers and consultants you choose. There are some misled and misleading consultants around. do proper research fater consultation. Good luck and I hope this helps someone somehow.
