PR applicants from Iran

Hi all,

Did anyone get any ghost update or PPR these days?

Guys, I have a question about my education history in Iran.

I've got my master degree from a Canadian University. With 5 years of working experience in Iran, my point is 486 and I'm hoping that it would be enough for my name to be in the draw.

But since I mentioned somewhere in my profile that I was qualified to do those jobs in Iran since 2010 (the year that I received my bachelor degree in Iran), does it mean that I have to add my bachelor degree information in the list of my education history and also have it evaluated by WES?

Or since I've already got a Master degree from a Canadian university, there is no need to add my previous bachelor degree in Iran?

And if it is necessary to add the information for both my bachelor and master degrees in my profile, will I be awarded 120 more points for my bachelor degree too? (I got the points from this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...documents/education-assessed/read-report.html )

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, is there someone still waiting for PR or stuck in security? It is good to just review what is going on our applications here. I am still waiting for moving my security and a bit frustrated. Anyone else in the same situaton? What can we do? How long more should we wait? Can seniors share some input? Thanks so much, really appreciate your advice

Hi Amy! What is your AOR? Mine is Oct 3 and no news.

Hi everyone,
Do you guys have any clue about the reopening date of the VAC office in turkey?

My guess is they will open in July.

Hi all,
My AOR was 29th Sept 2019 and since 14 Feb 2020, I am under security screening and they asked for ADR: military, schedule A and travel history forms. After submitting those ADR, I got a ghoste update around 24th of Feb 2020. Is there any hope that my security is still going on during COVID-19 pandemic? I am very worried about the delays!

This is the case for me. I am also under security. I think because I had quite number of publications. How about you? I do not think the security was moving during covid at least for me.

Dear all,

I am applying for the extension of my work permit with the same employer and my AOR for PR is 29th Sept 2019. For my PR, I had the medical test in September 2019 and it was approved by CIC. However, now for the extension of my work permit, they still asked for medical test, even though in the questionnaire I mentioned that I have done medical test in the last 12 months and my immigration is in the process. My question is that should I do the medical again as they require? or I should do write a supporting letter to mention that I already had it 6 months ago for my PR? Your help is appreciated in advance. Thank you.

It seems that our case is very similar. Did you apply for your renewal of PGWP? I need to do this. If you have paper application, you probably do not need to go to another medical.

Dear all,
I received a ghost update & my ECAS changed to "decision made" on last Tuesday(10th of March).
Many thanks to @Mr_nobody for his helps.

Great to hear this, congratulation! How long did your secuirity take? I am still waiting and not sure how to deal with it. My security was started in March I think.

There are different opinions for this. If you include your bachelor, you need to ask for ECA for sure. If you just declare the Master for education section, you will get that point. But then will need to include both degree dates as your history in the history section later when you are invited.

Yes. I have got my work permit just in 3 weeks and currently I am under security. But I have lived in 7 countries since 18 years old and that is why it takes too long for me. I think it may take a year.

Hello guys,

I have two questions:

1. Can one with COPR land in a province other than her/his destination? I have a connecting flight via Montreal and Toronto is my destination. Will I go through landing interview with the immigration officer in Montreal or Toronto?
2. How long does the interview with the officer at the port of entry usually take?

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

1) The immigration formalities are supposed to be done on your first port of entry, so in your case, it should be Montreal. Then the Montreal to Toronto would count as a domestic flight.

2) It depends on how many people they have to process, the odds are that it won't take that long for you because these days there are not so much international travel. You need to have an address for PR card and 14 days of self-isolation.

Thanks @earlybird2019 for your quick response.
Another question,
We do not have any PNP but our destination is chosen as Ontario, Toronto on our COPR. Are we allowed to land in Monreal?
Thanks.

Yes, present your address for PR Card/self-isolation in Ontario, plan carefully to have time for your connecting flight to Toronto and you are good to go.

Thanks for your reply.
I will have about 2hour and 20 minutes layover in Montreal. Do you think that would be enough for going through landing formalities?
With covid19 limitations and restrictions, it's a bit worrying me because CIC website says after you land in Canada by air you have to go directly to your place of self isolation without any stop, preferably with your own vehicle (not any public transport). It's not mentioned anywhere what if one has a connecting flight inside Canada to their final destination.
