Hey guys,

I applied July 4th, they asked a transcript and a proof of completion of studies in October 23rd. I uploaded all the documents in October 24th. Review of eligibility 28th and today, October 29th I saw the status was updated to approved. Yay, BUT I got the work permit only until April 22, 2020 which is when my passport expires. I have a new one from my country, but I was only able to apply for a new passport, after I applied for my visa so the old one is attached to my application. The old one is still what I use, I have to travel back to my home country to get the new passport.
There is no messages yet or anything in my account. I'm pretty sure I got this little time on my visa because of the passport expiry. I was expecting/hoping to get 3 years, because I finished a BA Honours degree in 4 years of university, and all the other paperwork was absolutely fine.

What would you recommend doing? I have some minor and complicated ideas myself, but was wondering if anyone was in a similar situation, or has any advice how to move forward.

It's simple, When you get your new passport and before the work permit expires put in a new application for another work permit and you will get the rest of your work permit.

I have apply July 10.
Today I got a message requesting the transcripts from all the studies done prior July 2019. I did an English course with a language academy when I just came to Canada, the course was for 2 months and after that, I started the college from which I had to extend my study permit and change it since I was about to start a post secondary course. My question is if I have to provide transcripts from the language school since the letter is saying "All the studies done prior July 2019". I don't know if that is an standard message or if it is actually very specific.

Submit both if you can.

Applied July 12 and they are reviewing eligibility today

 

[Richieeboy01]

How do you know that they are reviewing your eligibility? Does it move from "Application in process" to "Reviewing eligibility"? Do you get an email for that?

Yes it changes to reviewing if you meet eligibility, and not email .

Strange case of mine:

Just one year permit, could be affected by passport expiry.
Didn't submit a transcript, didn't require one either.
Good luck everyone.
