Our mailed in Application was received on July 3rd and we haven't been able to link it to our online account yet. I am Canadian sponsoring my American husband and we included the open work permit. I will update when we hear back from them and give a final timeline.

Is it quicker depending on the situation? Inland vs Outland or The country the person applying is a citizen of? Like America vs a country overseas?

6-8 weeks is just for AOR. Yes there is some variability in processing times. More straightforward applications where background checks may be faster could be processed quicker.

Hi Kimberley,

Did your husband received open work permit? If so, could you please advise, how long it took? I applied for Intra company transfer, my wife's open work permit & my child TRV online from USA on 8/3 and I got my approval but their petitions are still pending. I was wondering how long does it take for open work permit to get processed. Please advise.

Thank you.
Venkat

Hi!

I will be applying for a PR (sponsoring my husband) and together with this application we would like to apply for a OWP for my husband. Is this possible if we are outside of Canada?

My question is mainly regarding the OWP since I've read different answers. Thanks!
