you currently have valid status so technically you are not on implied status. i strongly believe you will have owp before august but let's just say you won't have it by then, you will be under implied status while waiting for your owp. you don't need to extend your visitor status if cic received your application before it expired.
Thank you so much for the quick and very helpful answer! Yay- one from less to fill out!!!!!

Hi there,

I am in the same boat as you, I submitted my Schedule A and PCC via webform on like the 29th May and they were due 8th June... and havent heard anything about whether or not they have received it and nothing has changed in my CIC account.... stills says background check and next to it 'not applicable'
I have heard of people sending the stuff in the mail and then it updates however there is still some people that have done that and no changes.... It's so confusing ugh!
Hi!
I sent my Schedule A an PCC via web on April 10, I received an email confirming they received it on May 19 and my Background check "in progress" on June 15

Good luck!!

congratulations @novitakrnawn when is your landing interview scheduled? i'm guessing you're one of the lucky ones whose apps are so straight forward that they gave you dm right away! wow! you must be psyched!
Thank you! My original landing date is July 12 but i rescheduled it cause of vacation to July 27. I was so surprised we got it so early because me and husband, we're not that couple that already got married for a long time and has tons of relationship proofs. At one point i was so sure they're going to ask for more proofs but i guess i was wrong lol

that's what i feel now.. me and my husband have been together since 2013, we were having a LDR, 2015 i came to canada and we were common-law, 2016 we got married. only officially married for a year this sunday actually. we didn't submit a lot of proof. i'm waiting for a request of more proof. lol. well apparently, you're wrong! be early on your landing! i heard it just takes 5-10 minutes and the earlier you are, the sooner you're outta there!

Small update:

Yesterday when I'd linked our Application to the system I had a message waiting with the letter requesting the Schedule A and PCC. I just uploaded both to the system and submitted them, so now the waiting game resumes.

For what it was worth I tried linking the OWP App. today (which may have been a bit optimistic of me one day after the AOR lol). Of course it didn't work, so I'll give it a few days and try again.

We have similar relationship time actually. Me and husband got married at church and had reception on july 2016. I moved to canada on sept and legally married on october. So we were just married for 2 months when we sent the application lol happy early anniversary! Hopefully their process your application faster.

happy anniversary to both of you too! i got my non-accompanying son who will yet do a medical exam (which i'm still waiting for a request btw) so i'm not banking on having your luck. but yeah, i'm happy for you! one less application means a lot of us will be following soon.

i have a random question. does anybody here have a non-accompanying dependant? did his/her name appear in the applicant table under applicant summary in mycic? because i only see my name there. i had an upfront medical exam for myself and it already reflected as passed in mycic but i haven't had a medical request for my son yet. i'm just figuring out if i should send an angry mob at the ircc office :p:D:rolleyes: just kidding.

... although I doubt I'll have an OWP by August - processing times for work permits are apparently 16 weeks at the moment... So I just wish to have one to be able to go visit my family over Christmas this all ;-)

hey you'll never know, most of us got our owp within 2 months. they only put 16 weeks to keep people off their backs. only a few really wait that long. think positive thoughts! but keep in mind, the owp is not a travel visa. it doesn't grant you re-entry to canada if you're going out of the country.

Hi Guys

Just yesterday someone's application was returned for missing photographs, although the photographs were there in the application! They were just hidden in an envelope. I recommend you skip the envelope. Put both photos on the IMM 008 form with a paper clip so that the photo is clearly visible when they go through the application in super fast speed.
