***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter umarr.cole
- Start date
I'll keep trying, it's my hourly obsession lol
On the spreadsheet there are only 8 people so I can't get a good idea of how many are actually awaiting OWPs and it looks like some are waiting a long time.
I am just scared that if my "date received" on GC key is now February that my progress has been reset and have to wait again or until AIP.
So the PA was out of status the whole time the applications were out of your hands? You got a response saying you won't receive OWP until AIP because of what? You submitted your OWP with your restoration application, like it tells you to in that link you were provided. Which criteria did you miss? And which online tool are you using for your checking your OWP ?
Why would they get PR soon if they resubmitted only in November?You might get your PR soon which is way better, stay positive!
I'm assuming ( hopefully if CIC stays fast) since September applicants most of them got DMs then hopefully November applicants will hear something by May or June, people are receiving AIP plus DM right after each other so if the PA receives DM why would he/she need OWP?! The PA would become a PR
And since @PR2018USA is from the US the process should be fast (if no complications arise)
Just trying to spread some hope.. no one knows what can happen but lets stay hopeful

Yes I know! Hope is good, but false hope is not!
Apparently it's 2-3 month's after letter/ interview to even get an appointment depending where your local office will be.
It's only Vancouver office that's taking long for interviews... other offices around the country are okay....you might say GTA... GTA offices take time but not 2-3 months...
OWP after AIP will take 3-4 months
Not giving any false hopes just facts from how the other timelines are going..
I hear you. You're right. Yes no point in applying for OWP after AIP, really. I agree, other timelines are going well. I hope it stays consistant.
Before it used to be good because people had to wait years to get their PR, now the process changed and we're lucky that it became faster
I think people can still get their OWP faster depending on their situation and how they applied (online or by mail), they say applying online is faster
But I feel nowadays OWP after AIP is just a joke because you won't need it, it'll become useless when you become a PR (lets say the PA got AIP and DM at the same time and landed after one month from AIP & DM- the PA also got OWP 3 weeks after AIP- so PA would have of held the OWP for 1 week and when landed it got cancelled which is in my opinion useless)

I agree 100%. Hey I got a second opinion on restoration while OWP was already submitted before.
OWP Process starts when my status was restored, January 25th. Do you think it would get similar processing time as those who applied PR +OWP? I asked if it would be treated as an inland OWP and they said yes.
I am crossing my fingers I get in line with the late January OWPs that came with PR as they have had relatively fast OWP processing. But I guess 4 month is still on my mind
Yes hopefully you will get it fast, I think this change also happened not long time ago where they are giving chance for people who restored their status during PR process to get OWP before AIP, hopefully you will get your OWP very soon since they started processing it in JanuaryI agree 100%.
