FAQs

The processing time for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) application can vary based on several factors, including the specific province, the stream under which you are applying, and whether your nomination is linked to the Express Entry system. At Exposure Immigration, we help you understand and manage your application timeline, ensuring the process is as smooth as possible.

Typical Processing Times for PNPs

1. Non-Express Entry Streams
   • Nomination Processing: Most provinces take 2–3 months to process PNP applications.
   • Permanent Residency Application: After receiving your provincial nomination, you can apply for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The permanent residency processing time typically ranges from 12–18 months, depending on your specific case and the province involved.
2. Express Entry-Linked PNP Streams
   • Nomination Processing: For PNP streams linked to Express Entry, the nomination process is often faster. You can expect a provincial nomination decision in about 1–2 months.
   • Permanent Residency Application: Once nominated, you’ll receive additional points in the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Processing for PR through Express Entry is usually 6–8 months.
3. Business and Entrepreneur Streams
   • These streams tend to have longer processing times due to the more complex documentation required. Nomination processing can take 6–12 months, followed by a permanent residency application processing time of 12–24 months.
4. Factors That Impact Processing Time
   • Completeness of Your Application: Missing documents or incorrect information can delay processing.
   • Stream-Specific Requirements: Some streams, such as those for international graduates or workers with job offers, may have faster processing.
   • Provincial Backlogs: Some provinces may experience higher volumes of applications, which can slightly extend the processing time.

• We provide accurate, up-to-date information on processing times specific to your chosen province and stream.
• Our team ensures that all your documentation is complete and correctly submitted to minimize delays.
• We offer personalized support to track your application and keep you informed throughout the process.

Is a Temporary Work Permit Necessary?

If you are planning to work in a foreign country on a short-term basis, a temporary work permit is often a necessary requirement. A temporary work permit allows individuals to work legally for a specific employer and within a designated period, often tied to the conditions of the job offer. At Exposure Immigration, we guide you through the process to ensure you comply with the legal requirements for temporary employment in your desired destination.

1. Short-Term Employment
   • If you are offered employment for a temporary period (e.g., seasonal work, project-based work, or an internship), a work permit is typically required.
2. When Employer-Specific Requirements Apply
   • Some countries require foreign workers to apply for a work permit even for short-term, part-time, or contract work.
3. Specific Job Categories
   • In some cases, even skilled professionals or consultants may need a work permit for specific roles that require legal authorization to work.

Navigating the requirements for a temporary work permit can be complex, depending on the country, industry, and job type. At Exposure Immigration, we assist with:

• Determining if a work permit is required for your specific situation.
• Assisting with the work permit application process, including required documentation and employer support.
• Providing advice on how to meet all eligibility criteria.
• Guiding you through post-approval steps, including compliance with work permit conditions.

Yes, you can reapply for a visa after your application is rejected. At Exposure Immigration, we understand that visa rejections can be disappointing, but it’s important to remember that rejection does not mean the end of your immigration journey. In fact, many applicants successfully reapply after addressing the issues that led to their initial refusal.

Before reapplying, it is crucial to understand the reasons behind the rejection. Common reasons for visa rejection include:

• Incomplete or Incorrect Documentation
• Failure to Meet Eligibility Criteria
• Inadequate Financial Proof
• Failure to Satisfy the Purpose of Visit
• Inconsistencies in the Application
• Criminal or Medical Inadmissibility

Exposure Immigration can help you review your rejection notice to identify the specific issues that caused the denial. Understanding these reasons is the first step in improving your application for the next submission.

If your visa application is rejected, we can provide comprehensive support to help you reapply successfully. Here’s how we can assist:

1. Review and Address the Rejection Reasons
   • Our team will thoroughly review the reasons for rejection and help you address any deficiencies or concerns raised by the immigration authorities. This could involve providing additional documentation, improving your financial proof, or clarifying the purpose of your visit.
2. Prepare a Stronger Application
   • We assist you in strengthening your application, ensuring all required documents are in place and meet the requirements set by the immigration authorities. If necessary, we will guide you through obtaining updated documents or supporting evidence to improve your chances of success.
3. Reapply with Confidence
   • After reviewing your case and making any necessary adjustments, we will submit a well-prepared, complete application. Our consultants ensure that your reapplication complies with all the latest immigration laws and policies.
4. Explore Alternative Options

For example, if a study visa was rejected, we may consider applying for a work visa or a different program that could increase your chances of success.

Key Considerations for Reapplying

• Time Between Applications: It is essential to consider the timing before reapplying. In some cases, reapplying too soon may lead to another rejection if the issues from the first application are not properly addressed. It may be advisable to wait and resolve the underlying problems.
• Additional Documentation: If the rejection was due to insufficient evidence or documentation, providing additional supporting documents with your second application can make a significant difference.
• Appeal Process: In some cases, you may be eligible to appeal the decision before reapplying. However, appeals can be time-consuming and should only be pursued when you believe the rejection was made in error.

• Expert Advice: Our immigration consultants have years of experience in handling visa rejections and reapplications. We provide you with expert advice to improve your chances of success.
• Comprehensive Support: From reviewing your rejection notice to preparing a stronger application, we provide end-to-end support throughout the process.
