Did you change the file name when you saved it?

Our application was processed all via email through Ottawa. Passports not requested, it went straight to CPR. I think it depends on how you're being processed. If your contact has been by post then you will probably receive a request for copies of passports, before CPR. I have a friend who applied before us, and her contact has been by post and she had to send a copy. I wouldn't send anything unless you have received a specific request. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks Jim - the problem is yesterday everytime I clicked on my application it went back to the start. Today it just sends me back to the eligibility - this is when I have signed in using GC Key. There seems no where where it says continue with your application. This is a hair pulling exercise and I might just start the whole thing again.

Yes - me thinks that too! Thanks, I have seen the Bridging Permit Option, but the link goes straight to where you would normally apply for a TWP extension in any case, and any mention of the Bridging Permit seems to disappear from there on.
Finally, as an aside I semi completed the forms online last week, uploaded and saved for further completion this week. Even checked - just to make sure they had been saved, however, this week every time I click my application I just go round in circles and it just seems to want me to apply again. Even though it is counting down the days until application expires.
Anyone else gone through this pain?

Anyways after you are nominated, it have to get bridging work permit. And you have to apply 3 month BEFORE it expires. If you are applying after expiry, you have to check with CIC if you can continue to work as 'implied status'. Please get a letter from your provincial nominee office. In this letter your provincial nominee program will request CIC to extend the permit. And send the letter along with application.

Yep ... they must use the copies. I think it may have said somewhere! COPR is COPR ... that's what they call it on their letter, so I decided to hook up with their new term 
Do you mean COPR? CPR is a 1st aid term, lol.
As you include a copy of your passport pages when you apply I wonder if that is all that is necessary now.

At least you are lucky you can go through your online application. I tried doing online after few days their site was down for about 3 weeks. So I sent paper application and the processing time was awfully long. We are talking about CIC here, how efficient you think can they be?

I heard recently of a guy receiving his letter only one week after the decision made status.

A letter only one week after? Oh god that makes me feel sick. We are exactly 11 weeks now and I'm freaking out. Now they won't answer my emails either.

I am unable to understand why they can't send such an important document via courier or signed-for mail. I'd quite happily pay for it.
Do I need anything else when I go to the border? GTF list I know (Although I have no goods) but photos for PR card etc?
