So I guess I am in the same boat as a lot of you. I sent in my app and OWP app before my status as a visitor expired. I wasn't aware that the PR app wouldn't give me implied status (my bad, I know) and thought everything was fine until I got my OWP application sent back to me about a month and a half later due to insufficient funds. Which mean that I was then out of status. By a little over a month. I was under the impression I was still fine until about a week ago when I found out my status had expired and now I am left with the option of leaving and coming back into canada, if they will let me back in at the boarder, and having visitor status again or staying here and not getting my OWP for another 4-6 months. Which sucks.
My husband and I decided that we would rather struggle a bit financially for a few months than risk me not being let back into Canada, even if those chances are slim. I think we would risk the chance if he had a passport but unfortunately he doesnt so he wouldn't be allowed to leave with me and then enter canada again with me.
It all sucks.
Anyways, my timelines are:
Date Received: April 30, 2018
AOR: June 2, 2018
OWP returned: June 28, 2018 (missing payment)
OWP resent/received (2nd time): July 3, 2018
OWP linked: August 17, 2018
Here's hoping I get my AIP a little sooner or for some reason they decide to grant me my OWP since its clearly not unheard of just... not a common occurrence.
Good luck, everyone.
Oh! And since it seems relevant, I sent in my PCC from the states upfront with my application, though I am assuming they will want one from Canada at some point here.
