Am I the only one experiencing constant issues logging into the MyCIC website? Im using GCKey and have tried different browsers. Chrome, Safari and Opera on my Mac and the fabulous Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7. It always takes me like 10 minutes to get in. I authenticate, it provides me...

Thanks for all the replies. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't travel and just wait for our application to go through but we spent a whole lot of money on the reception. That was when CIC told us not to worry about traveling so we just went ahead with the planing. @km9203 Have you actually...

yeah, leaving on implied status is really just the worst case scenario but do you think travelling on an owp would be less risky?

yeah I already received an AOR a few weeks ago. But they could still say there are docs missing and refuse the app, correct? Then I'd have to ask for restoration of status or could I simply leave the country for a minute and come back through my 90 waiver? Edit: oh and yes, Im on work permit...

Does anyone have experience traveling in and out of Canada while being on an open work permit and waiting for their Spousal Sponsorship Application to get through? The OWP wont give me the right for reentry and I know its at the discretion of the border officer. We just have a 2 week reception...

Hey guys, I'm currently going through a family sponsorship (me being the applicant) but I would like to enter the express entry nonetheless to see if this will work faster for us. However, Im get stuck deciding which NOC to base my application on. I came to Canada about 2 years ago on a...

Hey guys, I'm in the lucky position to have the choice between an open work permit due to our Spousal Sponsorship or a work permit sponsored through a positive LMIA. I already got the LMIA but im expecting the OWP within the next 4-5 weeks (hopefully). I'm not in a rush and can easily wait...

Haven't found a threat for November - Inland applicants yet. CPC-M received my application + OWP Nov 28 2016. Paid the wrong fee for OWP though. Waiting for AOR now :)

Oh now i know what you mean - yes of course - I do have that! I'll include that. Thx

PR receipt? All I have is the receipt Canada Post provided when they delivered it :) I sent it out last friday ...

hmm so would you suggest sending the new OWP to Alberta or again to Mississauga? :D The website says I should send it to Alberta if I have aleady applied for spousal, which I have - but Im sure they haven touched it yet.

Sent out my spousal application 2 days ago along with my open work permit application. Then realized I underpaid them. I was hoping to just send them the missing fee receipt and see if they can match it against my original application but I was wondering if it's better to just resend the...

Thanks for the quick reply. I now noticed an issue with my OWP application based on some more research that I did. I only paid the OWP Holder Fee or $100 (as this was the only fee listed on the document checklist) but I found out that it's really $255. So I just paid the outstanding fee and put...

Hey guys, me (german) and my wife (canadian) just sent out our sponsorship application (inland) including an application for the open work permit (same package/envelope, but clearly marked as separate application). I did some research afterwards regarding using Canada Post, waiting times...

I'm applying inland. Yeah I know it would be faster but my current work permit will expire at the end of February. A visitor visa would also be an option but there is no rush for us so I'll we'll just go with inland :-) Thanks for all your help!

Did you guys include the application for the open work permit in the same package or did you send it out individually? The government website states I should not send multiple applications within the same package as it might delay processing time.

ooookay, you guys really got me thinking here. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) - how important is the notarized letter of her parents knowing about the marriage? We can a notarized letter from them saying they know we are in a relationship; or even being engaged. But telling her...

Oh one more question. For the Questionnaire, we thought to always give them 2 answers. One from my and one from her perspective on how we met the family members and so on. Is that a good strategy?

I really appreciate the advise. Though Im sure it won't hurt to add our messages - it takes only a few minutes to print them all and it will probably give the relationship a little more weight as we don't have any rental agreement; joint bank accounts, nor do we have a lot of receipts that we...

Thanks for all your replies! I feel like I need to mention that we didn't talk for 3 months. That was in 2015 while we were just friends - so I don't know how it would affect the application. We are also providing 2 years of iMessages (400 pages); if the officer went through that he would see...
