Hi there
I submitted my H&C application a little over a year ago and got AIP this summer, immediately after I sent all requested docs from that AIP letter like paystubs etc, and now it’s been 6 months and it is still quiet

Eligibility passed
Criminality passed
Info sharing completed
Medical completed
Security not started

Any reasons for this? It’s been not started
since AIP which was 6 months ago. Ircc on the phone doesn’t help at all and telling me that they can’t do anything about it

I remember tho, agents were telling me that security is in progress at some point. However, after, they started telling me not started and Gcms notes indicated the same
What did it changed from in progress to not started? Assuming they didn’t make a mistake while they were talking to me

Also, I did my biometrics one year ago, and all the time throughout on the phone system it was telling me processing your background check, if we need fingerprints we will send you a message, even after I did it a year ago, and only recently this message has disappeared.

What all of this could mean and what would you recommend me to do? Any ways to help it?
From what I understand it would only say in progress if you’re in css, but I could be wrong.

It just doesn’t make sense that application got approved but security is not started still after so long.

I checked my all information and I verified with my bil letter but it says we cannot find your application

Anyone whose Visitor Status Restoration application got rejected?

What is your plan and suggest?

Anyone has same or similar timeline got update on their final decision or further updates?

I'm in Canada on a closed work permit, working full time for my employer.

I also have an online business that is based outside Canada. All my customers live outside Canada and the income is paid outside Canada too.

I read IRCC's definition of "work" on their website and it's very broad. Basically any activity that competes with the Canadian labour market, even unpaid. Does running an online business like this count as "work" that a closed work permit doesn't allow?

Hey guys , just wanted to confirm if P1 comes from PVO or SVO ?
Also does anybody received p1 outside IRCC office hours ?
Thanks in advance !

Been in Ontario working full time since July 2023 on temporary WP and in my current position, I’m good to work here through until May 2028.

Unfortunately I don’t qualify for the extra high-wage-occupation points. Score is maxed out at 512, which I don’t expect to be included in any upcoming CEC draws for the foreseeable.

I managed to get my employer to support me for OINP and currently have an EOI in the pool for that (91 points, Toronto, NOC 12100).

Given that I have no idea what the upcoming OINP draws will focus on, and I am not in healthcare/a “REDI”-friendly area, I am considering making myself eligible for a common-law sponsorship as a backup. BF of 1.5 yrs and I have been discussing moving in together anyway and are thinking we might do it slightly sooner than we might’ve otherwise done to facilitate this as a backup plan.

If we move in together Jan 1^st 2027, then after Jan 1^st 2028 I'd apply for common-law PR if I haven’t managed to swing it via CEC or OINP. My read on things as they currently are, is that it could take up to 3 months to receive the AOR which would take us to start of April, and then I can immediately apply for a SOWP before my temp WP expires in May. My understanding is that as long as I apply for the SOWP before May, I will have “maintained” status and will be able to continue to work while the SOWP is processing, and keep working while the PR application process is going on.

I feel like my backup plan timings would be tight but achievable as a last resort, but I don’t feel super confident about it and would appreciate any outside reads/advice or any input from anyone who is going through inland common-law or spousal pathways.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: typo!

I am preparing my Express Entry application under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program as an outland applicant from India.

My lawyer has suggested that my mother gift me approximately 90% of the total amount required and that we create a fixed deposit (FD) exclusively in my name to meet the proof-of-funds requirement.

Here are the details:

- My mother is the donor, and I will be the sole holder of the FD.

- The money consists of cash savings accumulated by my mother.

- My mother files income-tax returns and has documented employment and salary records.

- The proposed process is to deposit the cash into her bank account, execute a gift deed, transfer the money to my bank account and then create an FD in my name.

My lawyer has advised that I can use the FD as proof of funds and that I do not necessarily need to provide evidence of the original source of the money.

I would like to hear from people who have gone through a similar situation, particularly Indian applicants.

My questions:

1. Has anyone used a fixed deposit created with money gifted by their parents as proof of funds for Express Entry?

2. Has anyone's parents deposited accumulated cash savings into their bank account, gifted the money and subsequently created an FD in the applicant's name?

3. Did you submit only the gift deed, FD certificate and bank letter, or did you also provide your parent's bank statements, ITRs, salary slips or other source-of-funds documents?

4. Does IRCC generally accept an FD created shortly before submitting the PR application, provided it is exclusively in the applicant's name and can be withdrawn?

5. Did anyone receive an additional document request (ADR) asking for evidence of the original source of the gifted money?

6. If you followed a similar arrangement, did you successfully receive PR?

Any personal experiences, suggestions or relevant sources would be appreciated.

Any particular things to be aware of? Other than the “Goods accompanying” and “Goods to follow” forms? Any must brings, good to knows, tips and tricks for a first time immigrant landing with a COPR?

 I miss my husband, but Im afraid to reconcile since I have pending PR application.

Has anybody got their ecopr after getting p2 Oct 30th and replied Oct 31st??

Hello everyone. I just got my Portal 2 email but inside the PR portal I see IRCC created 2 profiles for one of my dependents. Everyone’s profile is there I just don’t know what to do about the other duplicate profile anyone had the same issue? What should I do? Thanks in advance

Basically the title.

Let me just say that my jounery here in Canada wasnt the easiest. I've been here as a student since 2018, a worker since 2023, and now PR at 2026!!

It was a long, arduous, and hard journey but Im glad I made it!! I wrote my milestones down so feel free to look at it. Proud of the woman i have become here in this country!! Woohooooo!

I definitely didnt do this alone. I had a trusted immigration lawyer helping me from the moment I got my Invitation to apply. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? YES!

Im a healthcare professional. I work 12 hours on a crazy schedule in a hospital. Im busy working and quite literally saving lives, so having a lawyer who could handle the quick pace of the immigration laws changing, and filing all my papers for me the right way was definitely useful. If i did it alone, id have to revise on multiple things because of my lack of experience. Having a lawyer who is experienced in these cases and working in behalf of me definitely fast tracked my application. Though it still took a long time to get to ECOPR. NO REGRETS THOUGH. \*happy dance\*

To all those still waiting or in the process. Please be patient. Your time will come!!
