There are a few reasons why you may not be able to see your case status in the Client Application Status (CAS) tool.
## We haven’t started processing your application
Your status will only show once we start processing your application. There’s a delay between the date we receive your application and the date we open and process it.
## The tool doesn’t support your application type
The CAS tool can’t see all application types. You may need to check your status a different way.
For example, if you applied
* online, sign in to your account to check your status
* for an electronic travel authorization (eTA), check using the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) Status tool
* see also: What to do if you haven’t received any emails about your eTA
* on paper, you may be able to link your application to your online account
Find out how to check the status for your application by answering a few questions.
## We removed your application from the tool
After we make a decision, we eventually remove your application from the CAS tool. The length of time depends on the type of application.
* Permanent resident applications: 180 days after you arrive in Canada
* Permanent resident card applications: 30 days after you get your card
* Citizenship applications: 180 days after we make a decision
* Visa applications: 365 days after you were refused, you withdrew or your application expired
## You entered the wrong personal information
Make sure the information you enter matches your passport or identity documents.
## There is a temporary technical issue
You won’t be able to access online services if there’s system maintenance.
## You’re using a web browser we don’t support
Try using
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Safari
Chrome
## You’re not the sponsor or principal applicant on the application
For sponsorship applications, you can only check the application status for your part of the application.
The sponsor can only see the sponsorship part of the application
The person being sponsored can only see the permanent residence part of the application
If you’re a sponsor and want to check the status of the person you’re sponsoring, you must first request access to their information.
## The information was changed on your sponsorship application
If you were able to see the status of your sponsorship application but no longer can, find out why.
## You appealed a decision on your sponsorship application
Because the appeal process is complex, CAS doesn’t show the status of an appeal for a refused family class application. This is true whether the appeal was filed by the sponsor or by the person being sponsored. The sponsor will get a letter about the status of the appeal.

Most work terms run at least 15 weeks, or four months. They can be no shorter than 13 weeks. Some master’s students, as well as some science and engineering students, are available for 8 or 12 months’ work terms.
All jobs are reviewed by a CO-OP Program Coordinator, and only those providing students with work experience related to their professional development are approved. Administrative activities involved in a job should be less than 10% of the entire workload.
When you first contact SSC, you are assigned one of our Program Coordinators, depending on your discipline of interest. This person is your main contact in our office. As you move through the recruitment process, you also work with a representative from CO-OP Administrative Services, who assists with job posting and interview scheduling.
Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
