So I didn’t realize that my student visa just expired recently. I’m not enrolled in school right now but I did marry my spouse who is a Canadian citizen. What should I do?

I have been working in a financial services company. I have not submitted my PR application yet, and my open work permit will expire in a few months. If I don't do anything about it, will my employer know about this and terminate me when it expires?

1.I am planning on doing 1+1 course. Should I immediately start the second course after the first one ends or can I take a break to work in order to accumulate the fees for the second course?

2.Both courses are deemed as '1 academic year' with a duration of 8 months in my offer letter. Will this get me a 16 months PGWP or a 3 year one?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have worked for more than a year now as a pharmacy assistant and now that I wanna apply for my express entry I noticed there is a condition on my work permit that had to be taken off before working in that job which is restricted according to my work permit. I don’t know if I should submit this job to government and send them a letter of explanation.

Please say if you something

Hi all. A very unexpected story happened when I add files to my application. Yes as you have seen in the title it might have been added 6 times.

In total I just submitted 3 times, for the first twice it failed and it told me "your files are not uploaded". OK. So I tried a third time with a different browser. It worked.

Then, I opened my mailbox to check the confirm email, and I saw 6 confirm emails there... With 3 were in the exact same time, 2 in another later same time, and 1 the last.

Now I don't even know what to do. Another webform to explain? Maybe not? Well just a funny and maybe painful story I want to share with you.

I have uploaded a blank document for the Medical Exam as per IRCC instructions. How long should I expect for IRCC to send me the new instructions for the Medical Exam? TIA

I work at a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) company, and we also have a joint venture company. I applied for BC PNP Express Entry through the LLP, and the application is currently in process. Starting in January, my company will establish the joint venture as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and move all staff to it. Only the company name will change; everything else will remain the same.

In January, I plan to inform BC PNP about this change. However, if I receive the nomination before then, what should be the process? Will Express Entry reject my application because the company name will differ from what is in my profile? Can you please advise me on what to do?

Hello everyone! I hope somebody can enlighten me with regards to my situation. I got a news today that my work permit got denied, i am still waiting for the result of my LMIA.

I transferred to SFU in September 2024 but I didn’t update my DLI. I also applied for my study permit with a LOA from a private college that has partnership with SFU and because on the LOA, SFU is stated as being the second program, I received 4 years. Therefore, am I required to apply for a new study permit or can I just update my DLI like before? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have a question about my foreign experience.

I worked for a company from April 2020 back home, I started my postgraduate program in September 2021. My boss did not want me to quit and requested I worked on my own time.

From September 2021 to April 2022, I worked for the same company while I was a student here in Canada and also had a part time job as well.

When I put in my foreign work experience, can I account for the time I worked for the old company while in Canada? Please help… I’m nervous about my score and need everything to count but do not want to get rejected if they say I’m claiming points falsely.

Hello,

So I had applied for PR via the express entry route and also had Alberta PNP through which I applied. A month later my application came back as cancelled.

The reason being my UK Police certificate (I have emigrated from the UK) was made on 12th June 2024 and I left the UK on 22nd June 2024. Hence application Cancelled and (thankfully) fee refunded.

Advised that I cannot appeal or submit a more recent police certificate, have to apply via a new express entry profile number.

I contacted Alberta AAIP team and they stated the previous PNP was for that specific express entry profile and I will need to go back into the pool and see if I get nominated again. $1500 down the drain.

My question is, in the new profile do I select Yes or No to 'do I have an Alberta PNP?' I am guessing No because I do not have it for the new express entry profile. the PNP is still there on the profile but for the previous express entry profile not the new one.

Has someone else gone through this process? Do you get another PNP nomination after the first one has been used up unsuccessfully?

Thanks for any advice.

Is a parent's Canadian birth sufficient to make me Canadian, even though that parent was naturalized US before my birth outside Canada? Both my father and his father (my grandfather) were born in Canada, and both became naturalized US in 1915, a couple of months after my father's second birthday. I was born in New York in 1944. Am I Canadian? The website and Canadian Citizen Certificate application don't give clear answers. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I mean what else is there to say… The wait is … exhausting, trying to land a job is way more taxing

Hi everyone I am in the final steps of my PR decision. While I am very excited to finally be a PR, I also want to be cautious about finding a job in Canada. I am experienced professional based outside Canada and want to land with a job.

So my question is for people who managed to find jobs with COPR before landing, how long did it take? How was your experience?

If I already have a bachelor’s degree and applied to UBC and then got student permit after earning my masters can I switch my study permit to dual intent work permit and then work there and what are the chances of this happening especially that I specialized in tech? Or should I proceed academically and continue with PhD? I head something about PGWP what is this and what are its requirements?

Hello my passport is stuck in Canada post transit still awaiting its stamping for TRV. Since on the letter that I received with passport request stated that passports must be delivered within 30 days of request or the request will be rejected. What can I do to let IRCC know that my passport is stuck? Thank you so much!

Hi,

I am currently working and holding valid work permit which is about to expire on 20th February 2025. Also, I have a valid TRV until 20 Feb. 2025.

I have applied for a Spousal work permit extension for which I have got a “implied status letter”. The letter states that I can continue working till 20th April or a decision is made(whichever first).

l am planning to travel outside Canada and return to Canada before my current work permit or TRV expires. 18th Feb 25

I have following questions about this situation:

1. Am I considered "Implied status" as soon as I apply for the extension? or

considered "Implied status" only after the current work permit expiry? 2. When I return to Canada, can I still return as worker by showing the current non-expired work permit? (note I also have valid TRV) 3. Do I need to inform at the port of entry that I already applied for extension and get a new work permit issued in order to continue work legally?

I already checked the official IRCC website for the above, but I am confused with the following two answers given there: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5553-applying-change-conditions-extend-your-stay-canada-worker.html

a. Travelling outside Canada while your work permit is being processed: If we haven’t made a decision on your work permit, you may be allowed to come back to Canada as a visitor. If this is the case, you can’t work until you get your new work permit." b. May I leave, then re-enter Canada, if I still have a valid work permit? Yes. To return to Canada to work, you must have a valid travel document.

I would appreciate your answers, if you guys have the similar experience before.

Thanks

Hello

I applied for my citizenship last year and all was processed well.

Last week I received an invitation that my Oath ceremony is on Dec 3rd (tomorrow). However this morning I received an email (legit we checked it) asking me not to attend the ceremony bc my application needs further review.

Tracker still shows Oath ceremony on the 3rd of Dec. No changes at all.

Now I don't what I should do. Should I still go to the ceremony incase it's a scam email?

Anyone had this happen?

Thank u

I passed the citizenship test in November 2023, and I haven’t heard anything from IRCC since this April. Is it normal? I’ve followed up with IRCC a few times and I only received generic response from them that my application is still in progress. The current eta of citizenship grant on ircc website is 7 months.

Hello Everyone. I need some advice. I got P2 mail on 31st October 2024. I uploaded photo and address details on 1st Nov. Since then I am waiting for my CO-PR but no response yet.

My temporary VISA got expired on 27th November 2024 for which I have raised a TRV on Dec 2, 2024. I have to travel to India on Jan 2nd for some unavoidable reasons. Is there any way to reach out to someone to expedite the process? I already tried calling IRCC but they are saying CO-PR process is in progress and they can't do anything about this.

I need help.

So this happened, I am a student currently in my 3rd year , non co-op program, in my university there is a external co-op program for students who wish to do a co-op. It is weird, it is not binding like the co-op program, instead it says if you can complete a co-op you it will be mentioned on your degree, if you don't you will still have your 4 year degree. So this fall term I did manage to get a co-op, I uploaded my documents on the portal to register for the courses. I assumed everything would be taken care from there, fast forward end of term , i tried to contact my faculty why there was no (final test or why the course wasn't showing on my transcript) they said I never informed them about my co-op experience. I am in a dire pickle that means I did 120 days of unauthorized work , without even knowing , I took this co-op only for that , it was related to my degree, sufficed all conditions, and next term after my co-op I am returning full time student , I have a valid co-op work permit etc, Idk what to do , I have to apply for my study permit extension by 2025 september , i don't know if it will get approved. I am so broken i dont want to be punished for something I did not do willingly. Can anyone help me, or does anyone know of similar case? IT WAS MY mistake for getting complacent , I should Not have done that , now my life is ruined.

My wife is planning to move to Canada in 2025 once she gets an AOR/visa, and asked me how specific she has to be on the BSF186A when she comes over. Can a box of books just be "One box of books, estimated value C$50"? Or does she need to provide exact numbers, do a more thorough job of estimating the value of each individual item? Can her box of sex toys just be "Box of personal effects", or does she need to get specific? I'll be grateful for any general advice you can give us!
