what is your timeline?
Hi chinesecanadian87.

We have roughly the same timeline. I was just wondering how you were able to link your OWP to your account. I've tried several different ways now, but still no luck. (I'm anxious to know the status of my OWP.)

Sorry to bother everyone with this, but still can't link my OWP to my account. Here's what I'm doing:

Tell us about the application:
What program did you apply for?
Category: Temporary Residence
Sub-category: Work permit and extension
….
Details of intended work in Canada:
What type of work permit are you applying for? Open (initial application or extension)
....
Information about the applicant’s work in Canada:
....
Which situation applies to the applicant? Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada

Please let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong here. I've been trying to link the account for a while now, but no luck. Thanks.

I had to resubmit my OWP too :( CIC received it Oct 17th but I couldn’t link it until December 4th. Did you leave your city of birth blank?

I could not link OWP neither today! You are not the only one

When you click ok to everything, in the end, does the application number turns red? My experience was I used my UCI, filled up my family name, date of birth and country of birth and after that I click and see if I could link it but i somehow notice that the application number is in red and bold. Means no application number and days after I can’t link it I recieved back my owp due to insufficient funds. Resent it last week to vergiville.

Hi there,

Any news from June applicants in regards to med requests? From the whatsapp and inland google sheets it seems like the last request was sent towards the end of November. Ridiculous! It's almost been 7 months since I've sent the application!

By the way, is there a thread for June 2017 inland application? Couldn't find it

Hi guys,

I submitted a PR and OWP application for inland December 4th, received December 6th. No AOR yet.

However, I've been reading through this forum and I noticed that you have to pay $255 for the OWP and I completely missed that! I only paid the $100. I was wondering if there is any way to pay the rest before the application gets returned to me for incomplete funds. I tried linking the OWP account, but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You just resubmitted your OWP on December 8.. it takes ups to 8 weeks before you can link it to your account.. have to be patient..

cheers!

Yes. Again, it is up to your discretion but there were quite a few members here who had no problem getting in and out as long as you have those two.. I'm planning to leave in May and I should have my work permit by then so I'll let you know how that goes! :)
Thanks so much! I'd appreciate that, I hope it goes well for you :)

Loaded question

- if we were to cancel our application for PR due to possible plans to relocate back to Australia for personal reasons - how much refund would we get, if any? The application was submitted Sep 5, AOR Oct 31. We would still need the OWP for my husband, would that still go through if the PR app was cancelled?

- if once cancelled, would it be considered a "refused application"?

- how would I go about the process of withdrawing the PR application?

If they did not start processing yet, you'll get a refund. See below for more info

I very much doubt the OWP would be approved (or valid if all ready have it) if the Sponsorship App was cancelled.

is there another way to get any kind of work permit in the meantime?
