Hello fellow March applicants! Fingers crossed, you should be getting your OWPs very soon! I am a March 6th applicant and got my OWP approved last week (Friday, June 22nd). Still waiting for actual permit to arrive via mail. Checking every day!

In addition to the answer above for #1: Please consider that since you have a representative (lawyer), he/she may perhaps be receiving the AOR letter via email (his/her email), instead of you/your spouse.

Hi, I'm also in agreement with Moek90. I (principal applicant) received my OWP approval this past Friday. A few days before the OWP (I didn't know when I was actually going to get the OWP approval), I went ahead and completed my visitor extension (I only need a visitor extension, not a visa...

Hi, regarding applying for your OWP online question, you should be able to apply online (with your cic account already). Just be sure to pay both the $100.00 open permit holder fee and the $155.00 work permit fee together. A few forum members posted that their OWP application was returned to...

Hi, I think so. I have seen timelines posted similar to my case, and it seems that OWPs, in general, are being approved at 3.5 to 4 months from the date of OWP application received. This is a journey that is both stressful and exciting for all of us. I am glad that we have this forum to share...

Hi, March 6th applicant. No OWP as of yet.

Thank you Iamvenus! I will follow up on this. Best wishes to you and everyone!

Hi Iamvenus, I think I may also do a medical exam up front. Sounds like a good idea. Please let me know where you found the medical exam form online so that I may download it and bring it with me to see the physician. Thank you! :)

Hello, I have found this forum and all of you very helpful. Quick question... regarding OWP, there is a restricted OWP and unrestricted OWP, from what I understand. I am a March 2018 principal applicant and we applied for spousal sponsorship and OWP. I haven't been approved for an OWP yet. My...
