Hi everyone

I have re-submitted my OWP PAPER application through mail after being returned for insufficient fee. It was received on 23rd July. Today I have tried to link my OWP to my GCkey and it was successfully linked. However, in GCkey, the application type showed that it's "Online Application" but not OWP, but I didn't submit any application online. Is it the OWP that I applied for? Also, how long does it usually take for me to get OWP after linking it to my account?

The application number starts with letter "W". Thanks!

Yes, it is normal for it to say online application.

Processing time when you're sending directly to Vegreville is typically around 3 months (as opposed to 4 months when you send alongside your PR app).

Thanks for your info! That means I will get it one month later than it was supposed to be. :(

Hi @Hana Diabas !

Maybe I have to wait a little bit more or we need an OWP app number, in this case I think we need to call IRCC and ask for it....who knows :(

Hi there,
We've placed the application for spousal sponsorship - inland and OWP for my wife by the first week of August.
We have received an application number starting with 'F'.
We are waiting for AOR, so that we can't link our application to our account, and are not able to see the process.

My questions are:
1. Will there be another application number for OWP application or not?
2. A country-specific document needed to be renewed, just because the document itself dates a validity end day. We placed the application together with the expired document and noted that we will renew. And we could able to send renewed document almost 8 weeks after first placement of the application.
We are still waiting for AOR,
- 9 weeks after first placement of application or,
- 4 weeks after receiving the Application Number (starting with 'F') or,
- 1 week after sending the renewed document.
Based on the above when do you guys think that from when we should start counting the days for processing time?

Thanks for any reply...
