Open work permit Under Public Policy Timelines

[DKelly]

No you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m in Alberta. I honestly don’t get how they are processing the applications. I see persons who applied in March getting approved.
I called the ircc and they said everything looks good with the application but I don’t get why it isn’t processed yet.

They said everything looks good but they can’t answer why it’s not approved? I just sent webform to check my application too. Hope they give me answer!

Yeah, they just told me to wait until it’s approved and they can’t provide timelines. My eligibility review hasn’t even started

Applied - March 4
Approval - March 17
By the looks of things, the processing might be random.
I hope you will all get yours soon.

Anybody knows how long it take to get hard copy of work permit?

I sent the docs via Webform about 10 days ago and I just got a GU in my wife's and mine application. I hope it means they added the docs to the applications. No confirmation for far.

thank you for reply

By the way, my spouse's OWP was approved without my letter of employment and pay slips that we sent via webform. I got to know this because we received an email from an IRCC agent coincidently on the same day saying that she didnt apply the docs to my spouse's application because a decision had already been made (approval)

Does that mean employment letter and pay slips are not mandatory while applying for SOWP?

I have sent additional documents through web forms after 4 days of application submission.

I think it really depends on the officer analysing your case. I've seen people getting refusals for not including them. I advice to send them via webform if you didn't when you submitted your application.

I got my confirmation 15 days later same day they approved my applications coincidently

hi, guys. I have a quick question. I submitted an application yesterday, then realized that I did not include a 'letter that says you're applying for an open work permit under the Public Policy Facilitating the Issuance of an Open Work Permit to Former or... ', which is stated on the canada.ca webapge.

I assume this was something that I needed to submit under 'Optional Documents.'

should we submit this letter? would I get just a regular 6-month open work permit otherwise?
any help would be appreciated.

I believe this can lead to refusal of your application (there are some cases in some treads of this forum). I advice you to send it via webform and hope they accept it.
