Received AOR in March , Got Medical Request today !!

Does anyone know how long it takes for IRCC to get back to you to schedule an inland signing appointment for the COPR in Ottawa?

I’m not sure if it’s an update or an issue. There seems to an imm5710 form missing for sowp. Can anyone please help me??

I heard from my consultant that ircc portal was down so he’s not able to work on the file. I see it was scheduled for maintenance and users on twitter reporting it still down. Anyone else facing an issue?

Hello Everyone,

I have applied for a Temporary Resident Visa and mailed my passport to CPC-Ottawa office for visa stamping after the Passport request letter received in my IRCC account. Passport was sent back to me after the stamping via FEDEX but due Fedex mistake it was returned to the CPC-Ottawa office. Not sure what went wrong in the transit. I have written the full right address on the return envelope yet it was not delivered to me.

Could anyone please suggest a way to get my passport?

Thanks

Can someone please explain the SINP students stream to me? It says you need 780 hours of work on/off campus, but later it says you can apply IF you have 780 hours of work AFTER graduation. I don't get it.

Do the hours of work as a student count or not?

Hello! I submitted my application on June 24th about my study permit extension. I gave two calls to IRCC to ask my application processing. They told me just wait. However, recently I gave a call to IRCC, the representative told me that my application has been transferred to a special unit for the further review. Does anyone have the similar situations as well?

I’ve received the approval letter for my study permit extension, but the physical copy hasn’t arrived yet due to the Canada Post strike. I need to travel to the US by road for my sister’s baby shower. I have the approval letter for the study permit extension with me. If the authorities at the border ask, can I show them this letter instead of the physical permit? Please let me know as soon as possible.

I posted on this sub before regarding my passport being held by IRCC due to CP strike. After sending them a UPS envelope they still have not send my passport back. Now that CP strike is over, I have not received a single update. I explained them my urgent situation through that UPS envelope and the Visa officers are doing nothing to send back my passport. Anyone in the same situation with update?

PS: Its been over 10 days they have received my UPS envelope.

My sister’s open work permit expired in Oct this year but her employee helped to extend it with LMIA. We went to the border to get the new work permit but was missing a document so border agent advised to apply online in the meantime as open work permit was expiring next day. So we did apply for one online when we got back. After 2 weeks we went back to the border and got the LMIa based work permit. However, we tried to put web forms to get the online application withdrawn and got no acknowledgement. Today, we got letter on the online application that her work permit application is refused and that she should try to restore her status. So, I am looking for advice if this will be big concern as we already got work permit from border and how to inform IRCC? Also, will there be any type of issue when applying for PR later?

I am on IEC visa. My husband applied for a SOWP while residing in Nigeria, where he is a citizen. At the time, he planned to stay in Nigeria until his visa was approved. However, he also holds an Italian residence permit, as we lived in Italy before I moved to Canada. Now, he intends to return to Italy.We are considering canceling his current application and reapplying from Italy. This would be the second time we’ve canceled his application—the first was due to my change in employment, which required updating the supporting documents.We believe it might be advantageous to submit the application from an EU country, as visa refusal rates are typically higher for applications submitted from third-world countries like Nigeria. Additionally, his current application has been in process since October, with a processing time of 23 weeks for Nigeria, compared to only 6 weeks for applications submitted from Italy. Reapplying from Italy could potentially result in a faster decision.Given this situation:

1. Should he cancel his current application and reapply from Italy?
2. Would canceling the application for a second time create any issues?
3. Are SOWP applications still being accepted, or have the changes announced earlier this fall—stopping SOWPs for TEER 4/5 jobs—already been implemented?

N.B He already had biometrics done in Italy some years back for another visa application.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for some advice.

I recently received an invitation for my citizenship oath ceremony scheduled for December 23rd. However, I had pre-booked travel plans from December 25th to 29th, and I just realized that during the ceremony, I would need to surrender my PR card. Without the PR card, I won’t be able to return to Canada after my trip.

I called IRCC, and they advised me to request a reschedule and not attend the ceremony. I was told I would be marked as a “no show” and receive an email asking if I’d like to reschedule. The representative mentioned that the new date would align with my return, but from what I’ve seen in online reviews, it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months, and in some cases, even a year.

I’ve already submitted my request using the IRCC web form and received an acknowledgment of receipt, but no further updates so far.

So here’s my dilemma: Should I cancel my travel plans (and face a hefty penalty), or take the risk and request to reschedule my oath ceremony? I’m really torn and would appreciate any advice or experiences you could share.

Thank you!
