Open work permit applied in January

[Brunanurb]

lodged January 13 inside Canada but still no update.

same here. still waiting?

 

[Brunanurb]

i applied on Jan 18, but didnt hear anything from CIC

still?

 

[kristoph29]

No, still waiting, and very worried, bevause my visitor visa will expire in 2 weeks. And if gets dennied after that, I will have to leave the country or apply for restoration+work permit (450 dollars again)

Chances of rejection is very low according to other contributors here, if you think CIC has exceeded to the 4 months processing you are advised to give them call to make a follow up. I read somewhere else that 4 months had pass, some didnt get their OWP. They called the hotline and few days after they have been approved.

Possible that our applications were set aside and placed at the bottom pile, but if you call and let them know this might help.

Did you apply for a PR? If yes and the CIC has requested you to do a medical then I dont think you will still be rejected of OWP.

I think you can find the hotline no. elsewhere here or maybe at the official cic website. If you dont have much time to make a call go to the website and use the webform to send email. They'll get bck to you in 3-5 days.

The last time i checked processing time is 111 days try to check again. They keep telling to follow up only when the time has exceeded.

I just checked the processing time since you mentioned 90 days I would say you applied online. Your case is more than 90 days go make a follow up to speed up. Good luck! Please come back with a good news.

I did all the forms they requested, including the partners for who is not married but live together one (my case). In the one where you can put extra information we did a 40 pages doc proving we have been living together for one year in Canada, 3 last payslips of my boyfriend and his certificate as personal trainer to prove his job is a NOC B
