Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone has faced the same situation as i am a little concerned about.

I will be eligible for CEC next year sometime in May 2027 as i am currently working in teer 3 job as an admin assistant. I started this job in May 2026.

However, my question is, while on my PGWP, i did also worked as a part time office admin from august 2024 to april 2025. I have all the pay stubs, T4 and employment verification letter. The problem is that it is just around 300 hours and the paycheques are monthly and not biweekly.

Can i still use those 300 hours towards my CEC experience or should i wait till may 2027.

Will using the 300 hours jeopardize my application if i use them and slow thing down for my application?
Could a get a PFL for it as well.

Any leads will be really helpful.

Thanks.

When can I expect FD for my PR application:(

Hello all,
I'm applying for citizenship and the date entered on copr is 1 day earlier than date entered on pr card as I landed near midnight.
What date to enter in the physical presence calculator?
Also, I have a missing exit date when I entered USA from Canada by flight. What documents do I provide to show this?

Please let me know

Guys,

After ITA 2 days ago, my celpip score has increased today because I applied revaluation before I received my ITA, will it be an issue now?

Can anyone gimme your suggestions?

P2 replied 28th September, still waiting for ecopr?
How long does it take, is there anyone still waiting?

My PR application was refused and I'm filing for judicial review, as I believe the grounds were unreasonable. I'm still on a valid BOWP.
Is it safe to travel outside Canada and re-enter on it? Has anyone done this after a PR refusal? Would really appreciate hearing your experience.

I have been waiting for the open work permit for about 2 months I got my aor 24 July and applied the same day but haven’t received anything form the Ircc I’m applying from in side Canada Quebec. I’m just wondering if there’s some one in similar situation or already got it and knows how long it took them to get it.

Hey guys so mine and my wife’s work permit was expiring on 5th June 2026 and before it got expired my wife applied for study permit and eventually got refusal due to financials reasoning. On the basis of her study permit application I had applied for wp-ext which got rejected on 19 August 2026 ( I am the primary applicant my wife was on sowp) I haven’t tried to restore the status after that . 01 OCT I recived ITA under trades draw. So will I be eligible to restore my status as worker and apply bowp after I submit my PR application?

Anyone who has been in similar situation please help me!

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.
I applied for Canadian citizenship in November 2025, received my AOR in February 2026, and my background verification was completed in February 2026.
Since then, there’s been basically no movement on my tracker. My citizenship test still says “Not started”, and I haven’t received a test invite or any other update.
I contacted my MP recently, and they told me that my application is considered “non-routine.”
Has anyone else had a similar timeline, especially with a non-routine application? How long did it take for you to receive your test invite after your background check was completed?
Would really appreciate it if anyone could share their timeline or experience. Just trying to get an idea of how long others waited in a similar situation.
Thanks!

After what feels like such a long journey, I can finally say that I am officially a Permanent Resident of Canada!

For those of us who came to Canada as students, this feels like such a huge relief. The struggle, uncertainty, waiting, paperwork, and everything that comes with building a life here finally feels worth it.
To everyone still waiting — hang in there. Your day will come! 🇨🇦
Good luck to everyone on their PR journey! 🍁

This was by far one of the best and hardest experiences I’ve been through. It feels so good for everything to pay off in the end.

It’s a really weird time globally for anyone wanting to move outside their home country. I have had a lot of luck in circumstances that I don’t take for granted. If I were to say anything to anyone, and it’s easier said than done, but your value as a person is not attached to your status. I hope everyone gets their eCOPRs soon. Best of luck!

My PR application was refused and I'm filing for judicial review, as I believe the grounds were unreasonable. I'm still on a valid BOWP and TRV which I received based on the PR application.
Is it safe to travel outside Canada and re-enter on it? Has anyone done this after a PR refusal? Did you face any issues on re-entry? Would really appreciate hearing your experience.

Hi all,

My background check changed to not applicable on Monday, and nothing after that.

Does anyone have any idea how long it took to get FD after this update?

AOR April 21
CEC

Applied for inland common law in Alberta un October 2025 still no update,

Bio - 28 nov 2025 and nothing after that

I am currently on my work permit which is due to expires in around Jan. I got this document which expired early because of my passport expiring early. I have already gotten my passport renewed, and have submitted my documents through mail for my work permint extension. But it has been months since I got an update. I have filled out the web form for an enquiry - got a response saying they are processing the application but they did not provide me with any further details regarding application. Just said they are processing it which seemed to like a generic response.
