I just received my work permit by mail! No email or any other news. Happy beyond words. Thanks Flori-Ana and many others for the support! God speed to all.

Anyone else here from Jan still waiting for OWP approval? I'm wondering what caused my application to fall from the standard processing time. I did apply for a visitors visa extension about 3 weeks ago - wondering if that threw the application off. However, visa was valid when the PR and OWP...

Congrats! Youre well on your way to the maple dream now. Looks like I’m one of the few left with no OWP. We should create a support group lol

No updates for me still. Anyone have insights? Called the automated help line: (I cant link account as I have a rep) App rec: 30th Jan AOR: 19th Mar Nothing since Status: Review of eligibility: not started yet No addtl docs required no med no interview no fingerprint

Hi all, A couple of basic questions: 1 - What would be the Quebec equivalency of a masters in accounting? This is for me when calculating points. Are there conditions on whether it is a one year masters or not? Number of credits etc? 2 - If i applied using express entry a few years ago...

I’m confused as to why some people receive owp approval email and others don’t.

Hey, I think there is a note about that at the bottom. Looks like we are only looking at working days (so excluding weekends). Makes more sense to me to look at weekdays only. But makes it hard to benchmark against other months.

So if I have a rep: 1- I cant link my Pr application 2- I cant link owp 3- I can only login to ECAS 4- I will know of OWP approval only by physical mail Right? Thanks

Congrats to those that got the OWP approvals! Did you guys get it by email? Would ECAS show a OWP approval? Unfortunately I cannot link my application as I applied though an agency Thanks

Looks like not a lot of movement today unfortunately.

Hi all, My passport is expiring in a year - does that mean my OWP may be valid for less than a year? Would this affect PR processing?

Great! Looks like a lot of people have been seeing OWP approvals, congratulations!! Could you please update the tracker with changes? Will help others know of when to expect updates. Tracker: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gm315tmNKWoywb7PwZBiE67fUmznYQrNhYVWXPXXJBw/edit#gid=600561589...

I'm on the same boat, status ended 8th March.

This is so true! Quite a few of the other threads are surprised at how fast Jan is processing. (knock on wood)

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to remind Jan applicants to keep updating the WB with any new info. This is very useful for all applicants to track average processing time and cohort progress. If everyone keeps the WB updated then we can easily identify if our applications are on track or not. If...

Does anyone know if there is a difference in OWP processing time if PA has been in Canada for more than 6 months? I read that if you've been in Canada for less than 6 months medical can be done after OWP approval which shortens the time of getting OWP. Any insights?

Your App received date does not match your signature

Hi All, Jan applicant here browsing the thread and I'm surprised some are still awaiting OWP. Maybe it would help to start a Dec tracking doc? I'm assuming most people got OWPs for for some reason only a few people have not? Hard to tell unless it is being tracked...

Looks like the avg time for a Med request in Jan is 57 days with a standard deviation of 7. Looks like you're right on the mark and nothing to worry about. If you don't have it by next Friday then it would not be normal.

Table below kind of answers your question. Would be nice if there was a 'processing center' column in the tracking wb: 1 - Sample size is the total number of people from each city 2 - AVG AOR, AVG OWP is the number of days to get each item LINK TO WB in case we have any late joiners...
