I have a weird situation regarding my OWP.

I applied for PR/OWP back in July but had to withdraw both. Resubmitted both PR/OWP in October.

When I link my current OWP application online, it's saying that it was *received* June 30th, 2017 (an impossible date since I submitted the one that is now withdrawn in July 2017). It also notes my application status as "withdrawn", but under the "Details" pane on the previous page, it appears as "Submitted" rather than withdrawn. Again, I submitted the OWP app originally in July 2017 and withdrew it in August 2017, then resubmitted a new one in October 2017.

I contacted IRCC about it and they responded with links to technical difficulty troubleshooting that don't apply to this problem. Anyone have a similar issue? I'm confused that when I linked my OWP online, it seemed to link me to the app that was withdrawn back in August...

Did you enter canada on June 30th?

This happened to me- the owp showed date submitted as the day I entered canada, not my application for pr date. Owp still came throigh as normal.

Can't answer your second query sorry.

Hello!
Our timelines are almost similar.
My husband has sponsored me as he already has PR
Application Received by CIC on Sep 01 2017
OWP Returned for same reason (missing $155) and resubmitted around mid November 2017
PCC and SheduleA submitted in Dec. 03, 2017
After this, there is no communication for either PR or OWP application. Do you have any update on yours? Also, CIC haven't asked for my medical exams. What about you?
No communications since Background.

Nope, entered Canada as a visitor December 2015 and have been extending visitor status since. Thanks for the insight regardless!

Had an update to my wifes Mycic account this morning (or yesterday sometime),

Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

We are August applicants, Schedule A sent around 12th October. Good to see some movement, what to expect next the medical request?
To add to this I just checked Ecas on my side and we now have "in process" under Sponsorship Application Status.

This means they have started the checks on me? (sorry if a dumb question)

Nice to see things moving a bit anyway!

Trying to link my OWP to my account ("Link an existing application to this account) but can't seem to get it to work. Am I entering the same UCI number as my application? I've tried to enter the same UCI number and my family name, as well as my just my full family details but so far no luck. Any ideas?
September 6th applicant.

Hello all, I need your help, I hope someone has a similar case.

I applied for PR/OWP extension on Sept 19. AOR arrived Nov 20, also they requested background check which I submitted.
Today I received an email saying my OWP extension was approved. The problem is that I submitted it using my previous passport, which expires April 23, 2018 (hoping that the new one would arrive during these 4 months so I could update this info and the OWP extension would have the new expiry date). Long story short, my new passport will arrive this week, which means I need to apply for the OWP again since my Sept application is finished.

But my question is, how to do that? Because I need to re-submit all the forms etc online, but it's not linked to the PR anymore. Please if someone can help me I would really appreciate it, I am really frustrated because dealing with documents from my country of origin is a nightmare.

thanks

Hi! I am in a similar situation. My passport renewal took too long and I had to send my docs in. CI issued my OWP based on my old passport even though I submitted my new passport within 3 weeks of me applying for PR.

I just sent in my OWP extension last week, so I hope I get it soon. Just send the OWP application again with your new passport a month before your current OWP expires, also make sure you pay $255. I paid it again to avoid them sending the application back to me.

Thanks so much!
What documents did you include?
I was thinking of attaching a letter from my embassy explaining that it took until this week to get the new passport, and also a letter from me explaining what happened. Did you have include a new statutory declaration of common law again??
