Hi everyone
I have an inquiry about my situation. I appreciate the help from anyone that went through the same or can provide any information
- My applications (Inland & OWP) were received on November 9, 2017 ( I was on a visitor status that was going to expire on December 17, 2017).
- Schedule A and Police check were requested on January 3, 2018. Both were uploaded a few days later.
- My OWP application was returned to me in February 2018 due to insufficient payment (I paid $100 only without the $150).
- I paid the $150 then mailed the application back in February 2018.
- I received a letter via email in April 2018 stating that I am out of status when I resent the application and the open work permit will only be issued after/if my spousal sponsorship is approved.
- Medical request May 17, 2018. Done in a few days and my status was updated to (medical passed).
- Eligibility passed September 26, 2018
I used the AIP to apply for OHIP card and I was told that I will receive it in 3 months or less. I received nothing from IRCC since the AIP letter and my status still showing background check is still in progress. It has been 3 weeks and no decision made or anything.
My question is will IRCC mail me the open work permit anytime soon? how long !? it's really getting tough and I need to provide for my family. Why is it taking 3 weeks to check my background !? I have noticed that others received a landing appointment letter on the same day or a day after their AIP
Thanks for reading any information will be appreciated
