Any updates guys? It's been 1 week already and still no word on the expedited processing of my husband's OWP. I still can't link it online which must mean they haven't even started processing it yet. Let's see what happens this week.

Your application will NOT be rejected just based on the fact your wife doesn't have a job or savings! There is no income requirement. She does have to prove her intent to support you, so this can be with a letter explaining her situation and how she intends to support you and a few documents...

Any November 2019 applicants see any updates/requests this month? Just wondering if anyone has seen any progress in their applications. I checked the spreadsheets for September/Oct/Nov/Dec and there doesn't appear to be any new entries.

No need to freak out about it, just send an adjustment in. Good to have all your documents consistent.

If you apply inland (which I think that's what you are intending), the applicant should not leave the country during the application process. She could technically leave but this is very risky upon re-entry and she may be refused entry into Canada when she returns. This would be the same risk if...

As mentioned above there is no financial requirement that you need to meet but you do need to be able to support yourself financially. In fact, i believe in the application checklist it says to provide proof/explanation of how you intend to support the applicant. When we applied, neither of us...

I too have heard to use the older form that validates, the one that is in the package. If they want the updated form they will contact you and request that you upload the updated version.

We were in the exact same situation when we came back to Canada last year before we applied. We followed canuck_in_uk advice. Do not mention immigration/PR application/etc. when crossing through the border say you are visiting. Of course if they ask specifically, do not lie, but if they don't...

The percentage bar is based on the 12 month timeframe for completion (or whatever they say is the estimated completion time for your type of application). It goes up automatically as the time passes (for example, after 6 months it will say 50%, etc.). Therefore, it isn't related to the actual...

Well regardless it appears that all of us contacting our MPs and getting the Minister of Immigration‘s office involved has given us answers this past week and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

This is really promising news for you! It seems pretty clear to me that they are indeed re-reviewing your application! I wonder if you'll have the same time frame that they eluded to in my communications (OWP approval within three weeks)? Yes, I wonder if, because the minister's office was...

We are Inland and have not done the medical yet (it has not been requested yet) The only thing that I can see is that it says is that they are processing the Back Ground Check. That's the only thing that has been worked on in our file/case so far.

So did you find anything written in your notes that explains the delay in processing your application?

Yes MP has been involved for about a month already. They couldn't get an answer so they contacted the Minister of Immigration's office. They are the ones who found out that the application is "lost" and told me to send a copy of the original application to a specific officer and they will...

It is ridiculous! The fact that the OWP and PR applications get split up and sent to different offices is a disaster waiting to happen and this is exactly what happened in my case. :( Hopefully it truly IS expedited now but I'm not holding my breath. I am still unable to link the OWP to my...

Wow....happy days! Congratulations! So what do you think was happening with yours? Why the delay? Did you ever find out what the mixup was?

When we phoned IRCC they told us NOT to apply for the extension it would not be approved because he has an OWP application in which already is an application to remain in Canada. I have since found out that the IRCC call centre agents do not always give out accurate advice and in hindsight they...

Ok thanks for this. Does that mean that the background check and security check are done? At what stage of the application process is this usually done? (I applied in beginning of November 2019)

It's blank, there's nothing beside it. (By the way, i'm about 7 months in to our PR In Canada application applied beginning of Nov 2019)

The following statement was written in the email that the notes were attached to: "Disposition of your records: Disclosed in part Section(s) of the Act applied (if applicable): 21 The detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities, 26 information about another...
