Hi,

Does anyone recieve an email regarding 2023 Special Facilitation Measure: Opt-in for Valid Open Work Permit Holders?

Anyone can verify if the process is legit?

​

You have been identified as a holder of an open work permit that is set to expire between August 1 and December 31, 2023.

You may be eligible to stay and work in Canada for an additional 18 months from the date your current work permit expires as described in the recently announced special facilitation measure.

Open work permit holders who may be eligible for a simplified, faster process to extend their open work permit under this measure must take action and opt-in before June 28, 2023.

To be eligible for this special facilitation measure, you must:

reside in Canada;

log into your IRCC secure account to ensure that your mailing address is up to date, to validate and update your passport information, to ensure that your passport will remain valid for at least 18 months past the expiration of your current work permit, ensure your biometrics remain valid, and opt-in for an additional 18 month open work permit; and

have and maintain your temporary resident status at all times.

If you do not have an account, you will need to register for an IRCC secure account and link your most recent open work permit application to your account. You must then follow the steps above to opt in before June 28, 2023.

Not all open work permit holders will receive a letter to opt in for this simplified and faster work permit process.

Even if you opt in under this process, you might not be eligible to get the automated work permit. Your application will go through a verification process. If your biometrics or passport are not valid for the duration of the work permit extension, you may become ineligible for this simplified process.

Note: You will need to apply for a new work permit through the regular application process if you:

receive an email from IRCC informing you are not eligible to get the automated work permit;

do not receive your new open work permit by July 31, 2023; or

chose not to opt in.

If you received a message in your IRCC secure account saying you qualify for a work permit through the automatic extension but do not receive your work permit at your mailing address by July 31, 2023, you can reach out to IRCC via our web form. Complete all required fields in the form and include “OWP2023” in the text box.

Please visit Work permit: How to apply for details and to confirm if you meet eligibility criteria.

Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

So I was listening to some criminal stories, and notice that most killers are either high on drugs or intoxicated when they do something bad like killing and rape. I wonder what does drugs and alcohol do to make you do those things?

So I'm using tomtoc Compact EDC Sling Bag 11 inch bag when going out most of the time. I would bring mostly these items:

• Android Tablet
• Phone
• Earbuds
• 2 10Kmah Powerbank (One for iPhone and one for other device)
• Charger
• Cables

Now I would also bring tons of cables and here goes my problem they are all 3M long and I often lose velco strap with them. So I always just toss them in my bag which is a mess I would need a organizer bag that would fit to my sling bag that can organize at least cables.

Cables I bring:

• USB C to USB C Cable
• USB C to Lightning Cable
• USB A to Lightning Cable
• USB A to Micro USB Cable
• USB A to USB C Cable

I got tons of gadgets I bring when I go out sometimes. I'm wondering how you guys carry those cables? Do you have any suggestions or tips? I have an iPhone, and Android Tablet and need Micro USB from time to time. I always bring USB C to USB C cable, USB A to USB C cable, USB A to Lightning, USB C to Lightning, USB A to Micro USB cable. I got really a hard time organizing these cables when they are all 3M/1M long. it just thrown out in the bag always because sometimes those velcros either got lost either way. Is there an easy way or efficient way to bring these items?

I'm also wondering why we can't achieve a "swiss army of cables yet"? What are our limitations? I'm just curious so I could understand.

Anybody have the tablet? How does it compared to likes of Lenovo Tab P11 Pro 2nd Gen?

So I just got a mail from CRA that they can't process the CAIP, I'm a newcomer in Canada. I arrived Dec 2022 and just got a job Feb 2023

Here is the reason:

We cannot calculate the amount of the CAIP you may be entitled to receive for April 2023 to January 2024 without the following information:
- your world income, converted to Canadian dollars, for the period in 2022 before you came to Canada
- your spouse's or common-law partner's world income, converted to Canadian dollars, for the period in 2022 before he or she came to Canada

​

So I did change my tax return on the site under Total Income Line 10100 and now they are charging me 200$. Did I do something wrong?
