My passport never got stamped (they apparently don't really do that anymore when you arrive by air and are allowed to stay the maximum amount of time?) - and they ask for proof of your stamped passport in the OWP and PR application. I just showed them my boarding pass for the flight to Canada, approval of ETA and a copy of all the pages of my passport (showing there is no stamp). My OWP got approved so that means they are okay with what I gave them.
Sooo you should probably be fine

I don't even know... I just received it in the mail one day and my husband applicant still said "processing". They finally updated it last week to say approved
Hi. No. I’m still waiting for the OWP. I only could linked to my account two days after I reapplied but nothing else since then
Hey Guys,
Week by week passed and I am still waiting for my OWP to be approved. As of now, its still under "submitted" status. I realized that in my account, the work permit stated as online application under the column of "Application type". Is it the same for everyone? Note: my application was resubmitted on Aug 20th due to insufficient fee.
Well I do not have much hope that it will be approved sooner, just wondering about the application type piece as I submitted by paper to Edmonton office.

Yes it is the same for me. Online application even though I submitted by paper via mail. Seems like there computer system has been down for a while. At least that's the answer I get when I try and call CIC. I'm also waiting patiently for my OWP.
Just got a message that they are processing our background check!
Before the medical request? Is that a bit weird?

So I just called CIC to enquire about my Work Permit and I was told that it has been approved and waiting to be printed, even though it still just says "Submitted" on my online account. So good news and maybe it is the same for others. My recommendation is to call CIC & speak to an agent if you still haven't received any update on your OWP status.
You might have the same thing happen to you that happened to me which is receiving the OWP in the mail and the only application be approved 2 months later LOLSo I just called CIC to enquire about my Work Permit and I was told that it has been approved and waiting to be printed, even though it still just says "Submitted" on my online account.
