I am a Feb 14 applicant. No news of OWP. I wonder if the recent slowdown in processing is due to summer vacation approaching. Fingers crossed that we will hear soon.

Hello, sorry I posted this earlier already but... since it's now 10 weeks and I haven't heard anything from CIC (my application was received on March 13), I kinda getting panicking. My husband checks his mail box regularly too and see nothing. Should I contact them now? I mean, if my application is not complete, it should be sent back by now as well right?
Thank you!

have you tried ECAS?

Does anyone know whether OWP can take more than 4 months to be approved, assuming all documents are in order?

Yes, several December applicants received their OWP later than 4 months.

I sent my PR & OPW first, then applied my extension as well. Now my extension about to get it.
