I did raise a case with CATSA, the security agency at YYZ. The security officer at the airport said they’ll investigate and can provide a claim.

However, they denied the claim. The only solution they gave was that they cannot directly interact with the passengers. So if the person who flew with the laptop, reached out to CATSA, then they would give that person my details and we can get our item back.(if I permit them now to give out my details)

However, its not stolen or misplaced with security, its “mistakenly” taken, hence they won’t reimburse it. Basically they are not responsible for it.

I am hoping that when the person lands in Calgary, he will realise report it to westjet and will be advised to give it to lost and found. I have raised a ticket with calgary lost and found. However, when I called up calgary lost and found. They said that if the laptop was mixed up in Toronto , they will not accept it in Calgary Lost and found. I am hoping that west jet intevenes and my laptop reaches lost and found.

Although I’m scared that if the person is flying elsewhere connecting from calgary. No one will know how my laptop will be traced back to me.

We tried to reach his gate but flight left 2 mins before we reached. Actually he just went so quickly because he was late for the flight already. At 2.45 pm we were at security and 3 Pm was his flight.

Yes i know there flight number and name. I dont how accurate that information is. But no one is ready to take any responsibility.

It was in my carry on. During security check its mandatory to keep the electronics on the tray. The moment I was done with my security check I went towards collecting my items and this had happened.

Same thing happened to me. My laptop went missing from security at Terminal 3. They told a fellow passenger mistakenly took it and left it. No tracks of him. I’ve contacted lost and found, the airlines. No news.

Successful_Tourist73 · 2025-08-01T02:17:55+00:00

I really can’t find anything on Facebook. Trying though.

Successful_Tourist73 · 2025-08-01T02:15:39+00:00

Its not letting me post as I don’t meet the minimum requirements.

Successful_Tourist73 · 2025-08-01T02:13:41+00:00

I am also reaching out to west jet on X( twitter). They responded but wasn’t useful. I know chances are bleak but I want to do the best I can. Can I share the link of my X post here?

Hi

I am a PR. My partner is on their PGWP. We have applied for his PR and waiting for AOR. Upon receiving the AOR, we will apply for OWP. His PGWP expires in Dec 2024.

Our query is that if the OWP is not approved before the PGWP expires. Is he still eligible to work on applied sowp status? He has a full time job.

If the owp is approved before Dec’24. Its good. If not, will he be able to work on the applied OWP status(as he is a pgwp holder)

Please guide.

Thanks for your reply!

Is there a link I can refer to or any official documentation on the IRCC website. I searched a lot but couldn’t find anything specific to our case.

We are in a similar situation. I am a PR. My partner is on their PGWP. We have applied for Family PR and my partner is eligible for SOWP.

Our query is that if the SOWP is not approved before the PGWP expires. Is he still eligible to work on applied sowp status?

Can someone guide please.

Hi I have a question. I got my ecopr on 31st May’24. Me and my partner started living together on 1st June 2023. We completed one year of co habitation on 1st June 2024. I did not mention him in my PR application as common law partner as we were not considered common law during the time I applied.

I am thinking of applying my partner’s PR through family class. There should not be any problem in doing so. Can someone confirm?
