P2 received on 6th Nov 2024
declared my presence in canada and updated photo and address on 7th November 2024
CEC inland.
Even my presence in canada has not been accepted by IRCC yet.

your presence in Canada will never be accepted, it will stay submitted to IRCC. IRCC agent will simply issue you ECOPR based on the Declaration submission but even after ECOPR it will remain submitted to IRCC, only your photo and address will be accepted although in my case they never accepted my photo only the address was accepted and then PR Card was issued.

The numbers for 2025 to 2027 were published last year, in October, when they reduced immigration levels. People have been talking about this quite a lot. IRCC announced nothing today, it isn't on their website. What might you be referring to?

Well, from what I heard, there has been adjustments in the numbers in the recent email communication by the press secretary to the immigration minister on Provincial nominee program. The numbers have been halved. Remember the immigration minister said last year that they were adjusting the number to focus more on people already in Canada. Read this from someone I follow who seem to have credible immigration news on a regular basis. For now, quota for NS, MB, NB, NFL, and NWT have all been cut by half. Source: Olu of Canada on X.

My closed work permit is set to expire at the end of April, and I’m currently waiting for my eCOPR. Can I start applying for a work permit extension now, or do I need to wait? The current processing time for an extension is 146 days, and I have 90 days remaining on my work permit.


Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

You can try to apply for the bridging open work permit. Just my two cents.

Hopefully there will be a change today.

Exactly! And I mentioned this last week that a few applicants' files have been re-opened (especially the LMIA ones) for final verification! But apparently, some people had issue with the harsh truth. There are still quite a few people whose files have been re-opened and their FD have been removed from GCkey along with the CoPR document number from their tracker as well.

I know this is not the forum for it. Just wondering if any of you had their SIN changed recently and their old SIN is now deactivated when login to CRA? I still can and got my new SIN last Tuesday.

Just opened my CRA account after updating SIN on 13th Jan and got below message

Best thing would be to call CRA and they can guide you properly in creating your new account.

My only concern is that are all the staff following the files? Or are the halting issuance of eCOPR based on the few cases that are being reviewed?

In my personal opinion, I don't think re-opening these suspicious files has anything to do with staffing shortage. With the new stricter and leaner immigration plans, IRCC has been working extensively in order to sniff out the frauds. The issue is however, the genuine LMIA candidates are falling under severe scrutiny because of some frauds who tried to game the already-broken system.

As long as your documentation is legit, then there's nothing to worry about. All the best!

I don't think that's the case. I think they do a reopening only if they have been tipped off or there is some credible reason for them to do it. If they do that for every application, its going to be a logistical nightmare.

It could even trickle down from an investigation on another applicant who was flagged; who may have had same employer or same immigration consultant, etc.

Biggest example of that is Tan v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) case where they revoked her citizenship after 10+ years once they found she had done fraud to get her PR. It all started from an investigation (related to another case) on the consultancy she had used.

This is also why we say, if you find anyone who has done fraud, even after PR you can report (as it should be) and there will be actions taken.

Absolutely! That case is a very good example! It's great that IRCC is taking extra measures now to investigate suspicious ones.
