Hi , i've got the following doubt, hope somebody can give some feedback:
If I got my PR visa stamped on passport but for any reason I'm not able to travel to Canada before the expire date of this visa, Must I make the whole process again? Take part in CIC draw , receive ITA again,............, etc?
Yes
Can I explain to CIC that I need more time and ask for an extension? (I suppose i shall have to do medical exams again and renew passport)
No. They won't listen.
I'm confident I will get IELTS score in the coming months and thus ITA but I won't be able to do landing in Canada until November 2019 as I need to close some issues in my current country of residence
If you get ITA in Jul, you can delay submission of your application for 60 days..which means you can submit your forms by Sep'18.
If you get your medical in Sep then after all the processing, you will be given time on your visa till Aug 2019. Best case scenario Sep 2019.
If you are confident that you will get good IELTS then get CLB 9 or more and see your score. If your score is 440 or more then there is no prob in waiting couple of months and then entering the EE pool.
I would not advise entering the pool, then getting ITA and then not going to Canada.
Thank you for replies andsorry about long entry
