    So my wife is PA and I'm the sponsor, she just got a job but it is seasonal. After seasonal work is done, she's eligible for EI? Would that be a good reason to apply for EI while looking for other work?

    wow that's a lot! I called around and found a panel doc in Toronto that quoted $220 for everything. Can't wait for my wife to get her medical request, so we could take a day trip out to Toronto and get it done to have her OWP restrictions lifted.

    Yes it will be returned as the signature is needed on the OWP. Suggest you to send another one with her signature and all the copies. I forgot to attach photocopies as per the work permit checklist, so I send another one to Vegreville and attached a letter to omit the first mail and use the...

    Is Outland still faster?

    I did this comparison before I decided to apply inland for my wife (as she wanted to apply for OWP). It's only about 3 months difference. I find that no biggie, but to some people it's a big deal.

    It has to be the actual NOA C-Printout. I sent a summary of the NOA and they did not accept it as they requested the "C-Print out" of the NOA which is easily found in your CRA account in which I resent to IRCC.

    I'm Dec 21st applicant, and no medical request yet. According to the inland spreadsheet, it's about 7-8 months from date of app received. We should expect our medical requests around July/August, maybe June.

    You will get official OWP in the mail, approximately one week after approval shown in MyCIC account. IRCC did say to wait up to 6 weeks for OWP but most of us got it within a week.

    Get a letter from your employer with company logo in the header stating that you’ve been employed for more than 6 months. Apply for OHIP with that letter and your work permit.

    Is OWP straight after AOR? anything in between?

    Based on date of IRCC received your app, usually 3-4 months OWP is received. From approval to receiving OWP usually takes about a week, although the IRCC email would advise it takes up to 6 weeks to receive it. Most have gotten their OWP within a week.

    I googled and found a map of all CSBA offices across Ontario. Closest one for me is at Niagara Falls / Fort Erie border. I'll call there to ensure they do this type of service before we head there. Thanks.
