TRV From Inside Canada - Normal Processing Time Has Passed

[Em_999]

Online application for TRV from inside Canada
This is my girlfriend's application (she's currently on a PGWP) (I'm a Canadian Citizen)

Timeline:
- Date received : January 23rd 2021.
- Left Canada for China at the end of August 2021 to visit her family/friends.
- She sent multiple webforms/emails in November saying she needs to comeback around January 2022 and she still doesn't have her TRV.
- I emailed my MP multiple times at the end of November / beginning of December and they contacted IRCC with an explicative letter she wrote, her work permit, her job offer, her vaccination proof, her lease in Montreal, and her CSQ.
- Background check changed from "Not applicable" to "We are processing your background check" around December 8th.
- Review of Eligibility started around December 14th.

1) My question is did something like this ever happen to some of you or do you know someone who went through something similar ?
2) How quickly was the final decision made once it entered the eligibility review stage ?
3) And is it normal for inland TRV application to process background check ?
4) And does eligibility review normally starts after background check has passed ?

I am a bit confused and anxious about the situation...
And she's been waiting for almost 1 year...

It is also worth noting that I recently discovered that she still has her S-1 Visa from when she was a student and it expires on June 11th 2022.
Technically it is a valid TRV so we think she'd be able to enter Canada.

0) Does submitting an application for a TRV extention under a PGWP automatically cancel her current S-1 Visa ?
1) Is entering Canada with a S-1 Visa and a PGWP a common thing ?
2) And would CBSA or boarding the plane will give her a hard time ?
(She has her Canadian vaccination proof + a job offer + her Montreal lease + a proof she applied for a TRV renewal back in January)

Good day,



We have received your enquiry and can confirm that a review of your application remains in process. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be in touch with you when a final decision is made or if more information is required. To obtain more information, please fill out the IRCC Web form in order for it to be sent to the responsible Canadian visa office directly.



Due to the ongoing situation, IRCC offices are experiencing processing delays. Rest assured that they are making all the necessary efforts to process requests as soon as possible; however, having to respond to status updates on applications will affect the processing times.



Also note that during the review of your file, you are not considered to hold a valid Travel document. As such, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada until you are advised.



We thank you for your patience in this difficult time,



Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada

Did they check your background??

Applied on Aug:3rd (no update until Dec 3rd)
Dec 3rd: PPR

My TRV journey has been very stressing & long. So here it goes.
Date of First Application from inside Canada : September 6, 2021
Date of Travel to India due to family emergency : September 12, 2021
PPR : October 5, 2021
IRCC confirmation on passport submission in India : October 8, 2021
Transfer to NDVO : October 18, 2021 (on reaching IRCC)
Status changed from ‘approved’ to ‘in progress’
Passport returned without stamp : November 12, 2021

Sent numerous emails to NDVO and raised webforms but no answer. In the meantime I was on the verge of losing my job, my kids were losing out on their education and my husband was under a lot of stress due to being alone in Canada.
Got in touch with another person who went through the same turmoil and was stuck here here even longer. He advised me to reapply.

Date of second Application from India : November 24, 2021
PPR : December 2, 2021
First application withdrawn on same day
Sent passport : December 8, 2021
Passport Received with Stamp: December 21, 2021
For all those who think you can get your passports stamped in India even if your application is initiated in Canada, I would suggest please do not take a risk. It totally depends on case to case. I came across similar posts on this forum for stamping and travelled to India without a TRV. I was lucky enough to come across a person who helped me through this.
All the best to everyone.

This is going to be me very soon - I applied for TRV (second application) on Oct 14th and planning to travel end of Dec due to an emergency. Did your friend inform IRCC about travelling? Do you know if his file has been transferred to India for processing?

Hi all, need few clarifications regarding TRV extension. I'm inside Canada and have work permit till 2023, but my TRV is expiring in Feb 2022

1. When can I initiate TRV extension. Is it has to be within last 30days before expiry?
2. What is the processing times nowadays?
3. Does it require medicals?
