After how long after it showed pass

i saw it on the same week after passing the medicals so i would assume a couple of days.

 

[Trinh]

Yes except it also says in process under the PR app status. This changed from "application received" the other day.

Oh got it! Thanks! I will check it out a lot to see when my status changes.

Hello, Is it required to have a valid passport for the landing interview? or do they ask you to renew your passport before the end of the process?

yes, you must have a valid passport . I think if you're approved, they will send you a passport request letter

The number of "out-of-status" questions... I'm appalled. Treat renewing your immigration documents with the highest priority....

There are a lot of people who are out of status because their applications for extension were refused and possibly also their applications for a different category. The funny thing is (not really), I was out of status for a few months because the CIC agent told me that I don't have to apply for a permit extension because we already applied for spousal sponsorship so I will be on implied status when my permit expires but then, our application was returned. Luckily I still had enough time to apply for restoration. So, not really surprising.

Hi, my new passport just arrived at the Philippine Consulate.
Will my OWP still be valid even if I get a new passport?

Also, how can I update my CIC account with the new passport information?

Thanks!

I sent it through webform.

how did you renew your passport? I mean , I applied for inland spousal sponsorship but my passport expired, and I cant renew my Philippine passport for I don't have legal status here. I'm on the stage where my medical is received, and I'm worried coz it says you need a valid passport for COPR. Thanks hope you can help me

I talked to the consulate before. Similar situation. They told me to bring the latest copy of my permit even if it was expired and the letter from CIC stating the Pr processing is on going (AOR). I ended up not doing it since I got approved for restoration of status before I could apply for the passport renewal but that was what consulate told me to do.

My husband had to renew his expired passport (they sent us an email requesting a valid passport, see below

still showing application received on the application side and in process for sponsor side.... hasnt changed since the application was submitted .... i think agent hasnt updated it to show in process but they update the CIC status regularly i have passed the medical and background check is in progress and i am august 17. Like i said earlier every situation is different and my background check may be lengthy as i lived in Australia and the UK.

I’m June 2017 and my Ecas still has sponsor in process and applicant as app received-so frustrating waiting for it to change

Sharing the pain. Hopefully it'll all just go to approved without the eligibility changing. As much as I'm happy to see things moving for people from Jul/Aug/Sep/Oct, I can't help but feel that it seems unfair.
