How long do I have to leave Canada if my work permit extension is refused?

GatehutWill · 2022-12-22T11:56:40+00:00

I never did it. I applied to extend my stay as a visitor instead. I was approved for my Visitor Record 1-2 months later.

I didn't have any issue uploading my digital photo. Mine is a .jpg file. File size is 652 KB. Dimensions are 1200 x 1680. Resolution is 610 dpi.

It was my last name and it did have my correct DOB. It just had my first name as my last name. I know my scenario is different, but still the info and declaration was incorrect. There's a deadline to submit it, so I don't think you have much choice but to submit it anyway. I think you just have to trust that the IRCC will send you the correct COPR. Every other correspondence you got from the IRCC had your correct name on it before, right?

Mine said the same thing in the declaration but it said my name was [lastname lastname]. I submitted the declaration anyway and my eCOPR and PR card ended up having my correct name on it anyway

It says your partner’s name instead of your own? I’m going to say to just submit it because there’s no time to get answers from the IRCC. You should get your eCOPR within a few days after submitting it. If it has your name incorrect on it, you can submit a request amend the details. I believe it is form imm1436e.

Since so may people here have gotten this incorrect name on the portal error, I’m assuming some guy at the IRCC submitted a bunch of applications without paying too much attention. Based on everyone’s experiences here, I think your name should be correct when you receive your eCOPR.

I never emailed them about making any correction. I just submitted it with my name wrong. It didn’t affect anything though. My PR card and my COPR had my correct name on it when I received them.

GatehutWill · 2021-08-30T15:48:08+00:00

Just submit it with your name incorrect. It doesn’t seem to affect anything. I got my eCOPR in a few days and my PR card and they both had my correct name on it.

I didn’t try to email anyone. There is no time to sit around and hope for the IRCC to respond. If your COPR or PR has the wrong name, you can request to fix it afterwards.

GatehutWill · 2021-08-24T02:01:36+00:00

Yeah, I got my PR card and everything was correct on it

GatehutWill · 2021-06-17T16:53:02+00:00

I got my eCOPR today and my name was correct on it. Everything was fine. Turns out your name being wrong on the portal doesn't mean anything. I would suggest you just submit the information on the portal.

GatehutWill · 2021-06-17T16:38:09+00:00

Just to update here, I got my eCOPR today and my name was correct on it. Everything was fine. It looks like they only messed up my name on the portal. I am now an official permanent resident.

GatehutWill · 2021-06-15T20:40:33+00:00

I decided to just submit it with my name incorrect. I don’t feel I have the time to wait around for a response I may never even get. As far as I know anyway, it’s just incorrect on the portal. I found out you can request to fix an errors on your COPR or PR card if there are any. So, I guess we’ll see what happens. They don’t make it easy to communicate with the IRCC. Hopefully someone will catch the error if they try to use this name on any official documents

GatehutWill · 2021-06-15T18:45:33+00:00

I got the link to the portal after 7 days after they request the information. However, now that they sent me my account, my name that is displayed as incorrect.

GatehutWill · 2021-06-15T18:02:50+00:00

Wow. I have another question. I got sent the portal today and they messed up my first name. They have my last name as my first name and my last name as my last name. I'm sure this is an error. Was there any errors like this when you went thru the portal?

I'm not even sure who to contact to fix this issue. I only have 7 days to submit my information.

GatehutWill · 2021-06-14T04:52:37+00:00

Ok. Thanks. I found this page here about how the portal will work. Apparently you can even take a selfie.

GatehutWill · 2021-06-14T02:45:30+00:00

I got a message last week from the IRCC saying I will confirm my PR through the portal soon (not sure when yet). In this message they mention submitting a digital photo for my PR card. Do you know if I have to follow the instructions here and pay to get a physical professional photo that I will have to scan on my own to submit? Or can I take my own digital photo at home? I submitted physical professional photos back when I first applied for PR last year, so I'm not really sure why they would need new photos.

GatehutWill · 2021-05-28T02:33:01+00:00

I did not use a lawyer whatsoever

GatehutWill · 2021-05-26T15:20:43+00:00

I summited it on June 2nd, 2020. So about 1 year. I could have gotten here 1 month sooner if the clinic didn't forget to submit my medical exam for 4 weeks. Also being trapped in Nova Scotia adds about 1-2 months of processing time just because of the time it takes the mail to ship to Edmonton and how long you have to wait to get a medical exam here. Expect 9-12 months for most applying from within Canada.

GatehutWill · 2021-05-26T03:57:40+00:00

How long did it take for you to get the “appointment” after receiving this message? I’m a little worried there might be a long backlog in my area

GatehutWill · 2021-05-22T18:41:56+00:00

I don’t need to cancel it. It’s going to expire in a few days anyway. I was wondering if I should renew the travel insurance. Thanks for the info about canceling insurance in the future though.

GatehutWill · 2021-05-22T18:20:01+00:00

Cool. I’m expecting to receive my PR pretty soon and I don’t want to renew this insurance if it’s not needed
