New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

[canwave]

OK good news for those who paid. The twitter account sent a link to a CIC page but when you click on the link "Some fees that you can pay here include fees for ... some online permanent residence application" you get this:

For some of our online permanent residence applications, you can’t pay within the application. Follow the steps on this on this page to pay.

When you finish paying

• save a copy of your payment receipt
• attach your receipt to your application using the instructions in the application.

Affected applications

• Temporary resident to permanent resident pathway (TR to PR pathway)

IMO they aren't withholding anything. IMO they are still trying to get their sh*t together and figure out how all of this is going to work.

For the fee payments, my guess is that it never occurred to them that people would prepay. So that's why they are only communicating out now that people should not prepay. That's the gamble applicants take with moving ahead with a step like this before the full details are published. Applicants who prepaid may be fine. Or they may have to pay a second time and then request a refund of the first payment. Impossible for any of us to say at this point.

They are withholding the application guide. If they are still getting their sh-t together then maybe they shouldn't have announced this plan so soon. They gave less than one month's notice to over 1.3 million potentially eligible applicants.

Oh man, they definitely set the start date of this program too soon. Didn't give themselves enough time to completely hammer out the details and prepare a guide for applicants and didn't coordinate with IELTS/CELPIP to increase availability of testing dates. The past few weeks have been a clown fiesta but not funny.

No, this is a different thing.

No, this is a different thing.

You may apply for permanent residence under the permit holder class if:

• You were considered inadmissible to Canada because of health issues, and
  • You have a valid temporary resident permit,
  • You have resided continuously in Canada as a permit holder for at least three (3) years,
  • You continue to be inadmissible for those health issues, and
  • You are not inadmissible for any other reason.
• You are inadmissible because you came to Canada with a family member who is inadmissible because of health issues, and
  • You or your family members have not become inadmissible for other reasons since you were issued the temporary resident permit(s).
• You were deemed inadmissible to Canada for other reasons, and
  • The reason for inadmissibility is not because of security reasons, human rights violations, serious criminality or organized crime,
  • You have a valid temporary resident permit,
  • You have resided continuously in Canada as a permit holder for at least five (5) years,
  • You continue to be inadmissible for the same reasons that existed when your temporary resident permit was issued, and
  • You or your family members have not become inadmissible on any other grounds since the issue of your temporary resident permit(s).

Nope. This is a different kind of permit.

As long as the letter states that you are currently employed, you should be fine and for support include 4 payslips and T4.

Hey, I just got my job today so in my case there is no T4 and pay slips and I am thinking to get a letter stating that he employed and on this date his employment started and this his work location.

What else should I get?

This is for inadmissible individuals who are under TRPs. It has nothing to do with the new pathways.

I swear that under normal circumstances I'm the most cold-headed person out there, but this whole lack of information and secrets is making me start to panic

Going into the portal blind is terrifying, especially since there are no R10 completeness checks. You could prepare all the documents that the IRCC could reasonably ask for but if they throw a curve ball, it'd all be for nothing.

so would you say we are good to go and make a payment for the TR to PR stream?

It should not be exactly the same, some changes and paraphrasing should be done
