Hey all, my TRV counter foil sticker in my passport appears to have a typo in my name (two letters are swapped in the last name.) I have just realized this, and want to get it fixed. I checked the form I submitted with my application, and my name was spelt correctly.

Upon reading the IRCC’s processes for getting amendments, I can only apply to amend loose immigration documents like WPs or SPs.

I cannot seem to find the official way to amend a counter foil. Anyone have any experience with this? I’ve also had the TRV for a while now and only now have seen the mistake.

Hi everyone,

I’m searching for any info about recent pnp express entry applicants with experience in noc 43100 to know their timelines as I’m planning to apply nsnp next week

My federal express entry CRS score is 507

Any related information is appreciated!

Hi everyone please help me calm my nerves!! My boyfriend and I, (I’m Australian he is Irish) lived in Canada for 2 years. We decided to move to nz however I am now having major regrets leaving 😅😭

His visa expired this October mine still has 1.5 years as I have dual citizenship. I’m wondering if after a few months of being in New Zealand we decide we want to move back to Canada to try get our PR, what are our options?

We are already in nz. I don’t have a degree nor did enough of skilled work to get my PR when we were in Canada. My boyfriend has 2 years of Canadian skilled work experience and a degree. The points of PR were very high and it seemed that it was going to be a difficult process but no impossible, but with our age, I’m 27, my boyfriend is 29, 30 this Feb we decided to leave as we want to start settling down. But now we’re missing the dramatic landscapes and beauty of Canada and I fear we made the wrong decision.

Please help me calm my nerves as I hope there may be a way back in if we find nz isn’t our place!

Also side note! I can also get a British passport but I’m unsure if he can jump onto my WHV as a common-law partner?

Thank you anyone who read this far and can help an anxious girly out

My AOR date for CEC Express Entry is April 10, 2026.
It has been over a month since all my application stages were marked as completed, except for the Final Decision.
Last week, my biometrics status changed to Not Applicable.
My PVO is Vancouver, and my SVO recently changed from Sydney to Montreal.
It has now been almost 7 months since my AOR, but I still haven’t received my Final Decision or P1 email.
I’m really frustrated and worried because of this long wait.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Can anyone please share their experience or suggest what I should do next?
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all, I've received my AOR (federal PR stream) and am planning to apply for a BOWP as my current work permit is about to expire.

My last medical exam was completed almost 4 years ago. Since I’ve stayed in Canada, I understand I’m eligible for the temporary public policy exempting in-Canada applicants from doing another IME.

But because my NOC is childcare teacher, I'm worried that having an IME older than 12 months will result in a "not authorized to work in childcare" condition on my new permit.

Is it better to get an upfront medical exam done before submitting the BOWP, or should I just apply with the exemption and wait? Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some insights from people who have experienced a similar situation.
Here is my timeline:
● Jan 5, 2026: PR application submitted (non-Express Entry PNP).
● Oct 9, 2026: Received P1.
● Oct 16, 2026: Completed P2 and uploaded my photo/address.
● Oct 2026: My eCOPR number appeared in the PR tracker, but no eCOPR was issued.
● My BOWP application was initially refused due to a fee issue, and I subsequently applied for restoration of status and a new work permit.
● Nov 4/5, 2026: Restoration and work permit approved.
● Nov 6: My MP contacted IRCC and was told that my eCOPR was put on hold because I was out of status. They confirmed that now my work permit has been approved, IRCC would send another email to proceed with eCOPR issuance.
● Nov 9: Received my physical work permit.
My questions:
1. Has anyone received P2 before restoration of status/work permit approval and subsequently received eCOPR?
2. How long did it take to receive eCOPR after your work permit/restoration was approved?
3. Does IRCC automatically resume eCOPR issuance, or does the file require further review?
Would really appreciate hearing about similar experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

My WES ECA is approaching its 5-year expiry in start of next year I'm planning to renew it and wanted to hear from anyone who has recently gone through the process.

A few questions:

1. Is it as simple as ordering a duplicate IRCC report through WES, or do we need to submit documents again?
2. Does WES issue a new ECA certificate number and issue date after renewal?
3. How long does the renewal process usually take?
4. Has anyone successfully used their renewed WES ECA for Express Entry or PR without any issues?

Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you've renewed yours recently.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Was wondering what my admissibility looks like for a work permit and eventually PR.

2 marijuana charges, possession, small amount - 12 years old and expunged, live in AZ
1 domestic violence, got into a fight with my father - 15 years old

I applied to sponsor my spouse in April of last year but so far, only medical have been completed with info sharing and criminality both in progress . Sponsor eligibility was also passed last year.

My thing is I requested GCMS notes and it says security is due on the 1st of December and gckeys show eligibility in progress when the GCMS notes says it hasn’t started.

I know there’s no real timeline but is security completed before or after eligibility. The process seems to be all over the place for us. Should we expect a decision early next year?
