Open work permit Under Public Policy Timelines
- Thread starter vj_viju
- Start date
I have a friend who applied on July 27th and got approved recently. My wife applied on July 12th and still nothing. Our application includes the main applicant, my wife, applying for OWP with PGWP Public policy, me as the spouse, applying for a spouse's open work permit too (she's working in a qualified job) and our three underage children, renewing their visitor records. Could this be considered a complex case and that be the reason for the delay?
Our current permits are about to expire this week, I know we can keep working until a decision is made, but we are being asked everywhere to send our updated documentation, even the insurance (in Quebec) which is expiring on the same date, is asking us for the updated document and does not accept that we can still remain as is until we're told otherwise. Is anybody else experiencing the same being asked to send their new WP? Have any lawyer or experienced person commented with any of you about what to do other than waiting for the WP, which is the most obvious thing to do?

Hi,
when you applied you received a document that you could still keep working until a certain date.
you can send them this document if you want to and see if they accept.
I've tried calling with no luck so today I used the IRCC webform to ask for an update. Current processing times are 91 days and I'm at 115 days. I'll keep you posted if I receive any answer from them.
On the web form they say:
You may use this form if:
