Hi Guys,

I am in stress because I am not getting authenticated information for ETA and to re-enter in Canada and need valid and authenticated information from someone who has an ETA and has faced situation something like me :
Here is my scenario:

Q1- I came in Canada on ETA as a Visitor for 6 months after 2 months I applied my inland application for PR (Spouse inland application) with OWP . I still did not receive AOR yet for my PR application further no update for OWP now I have to leave canada as I have valid green card that's why I do not need TRV and need ETA to re-enter in Canada.
My Questions are:
Q1- Can I leave Canada while my OWP application is being processed because CIC agent told me If I leave canada my OWP application will be cancelled out , Is this correct?

Q2- If I leave Canada and will get my OWP during my absence so my wife could send to US via mail or I could show border officer at port of Entry?

Q3- Will I receive new ETA as a worker ? or my ETA will be same as my current ETA will expire in 2019 ? If I need new ETA so I have to apply (myself) just like i did in past and book flight to return to canada after getting new ETA? or ETA will be automatically issued with OWP and it will be same ETA , nothing would be changed from CIC and issuing new ETA will be responsibility of CIC? If this is a case how would I get new ETA ? with OWP via mail or email (separately)? without new ETA could I re-eneter to canada or not as I still have valid ETA by 2019 .

Can someone please provide me answers of my question with this please explain entire situation of ETA after getting Work permit.

I will really and highly appreciate.

Best Regards,

I am a happy number nerd tonight. They must send out the AOR emails by batch late at night (or CIC works some very late hours)!

I got AOR early November and my husband didnt receive any AOR yet. Is it normal?
My wife (PA) got AOR1 early October, I still never got any email....so I guess is a normal "glitch", some say the Sponsor never receives any kind of AOR. When I check ECAS on the sponsor side it seems OK with "application received" on both sides.

CIC sometimes messes around with the email address that they have on file. I suggest you call the helpline and verify the email address to make sure that they have the right one. I had this issue where they had a wrong email address on my file.

Hello,

We submitted my husbands application yesterday along with open work permit application. We just realized that we never wrote his name and date of birth on one of the passport photos that had to be attached....will this be a cause of getting the application rejected and sent back??

And secondly. If his application is sent back do you only lose implied status if something with the open work permit is wrong and sent back or do you also lose it if something from the spouse application is sent back too??

thanks!
I highly recommend you to do the pictures again and put name and date of birth because the whole app can be returned because of that. Since you sent everything yesterday then you have time to send the picture with name and date today, write an explanation letter saying that you forgot to include, make sure you put your name and date of birth in the letter as well so they can connect with your app. Same thing happened to me with another document, but I did the same thing and they got it. Do it as soon as possible so they can get both at the same time.

@TayWilson How exactly do I do that? We sent yesterday afternoon via fedex...do I just send the new photos and an explanation letter to the same place we mailed the application to?
