Out of curiosity, were you able to link your OWP online? If so, what date is marked as "OWP Application received" online?

1) Employment Insurance doesn't count as social assistance/welfare - welfare programs like Ontario Works or Employment and Income Assistance in Manitoba are not allowed. 2) OWP's are good for 2 years OR until your passport expires IF your passport expires in less than 2 years (i.e. I'll receive...

Question about subsidies. My Canadian spouse is low-income and wanted to apply for RentAssist (a subsidy program that helps with rent - is not considered welfare). The application asks her for her spouse's info (me). Would me putting down my info as her spouse/co-applicant be a no-no?

Let me get this straight, because I'm a little bit confused by OWP application processing offices: People oftentimes submit their OWP application WITH their inland PR application to Mississauga - does this indicate that the OWP is being processed at the Mississauga office? I was under the...

Resubmission date, unfortunately

If you already submitted your PR application, wait until your medical is requested. If you haven't submitted your PR app yet, you can get it done upfront as "Worker" and send your E-medical information sheet along with your PR application.

If you submitted the wrong fee and had to resend, you are placed at the beginning of the queue again. So if you submitted originally in December, and had it returned to you in January with missing fees, your real submission date is whenever you mail the application back with completed fees. The...

Going to repost my question: My sponsor/spouse was employed at the time of me applying for PR, but now she's unemployed and searching for new work. We have enough savings to support ourselves, but I was wondering if CIC verifies employment info that was originally sent and if it will raise a red...

Yep, I did. You just have it done under "Worker" because there's no longer a "Family" class to categorize the medical under. It still gets processed as "Family".

Question: My sponsor/spouse was employed at the time of me applying for PR, but now she's unemployed and searching for new work. We have enough savings to support ourselves, but I was wondering if CIC verifies employment info that was originally sent and if it will raise a red flag or delay my...

According to MyCIC my OWP application was received at Vegreville on Jan 8th. My application status shows as "still processing"

Has anyone from December received an Email approving their OWP yet?

So this just happened... Long story short, my wife's disability file lost its 2018 disability status in mid January because her 2018 disability eligibility paperwork is STILL processing. In the meantime, her disability file was automatically moved to general assistance (welfare). We had no idea...

My sponsor is very low income (around $11k/annually). Unfortunately she may not meet the criteria to have her disability benefits renewed for 2018 since she started working part-time. EIA is the name of Manitoba's welfare system - Employment and Income Assistance. She was thinking of applying...

Thanks, do you know if it's just the applicant that must attend to Mississauga, or the applicant and sponsor? That way I can plan financially for the trip. Thanks!

Question about the landing interview - is this something that all applicants must do when their case is finalized? I was under the impression that inland applicants don't need to physically show up for an interview?

Has anyone taken a short vacation outside of Canada while their inland PR is processing? I'm an October 2017 applicant heading to the U.S this July for a legal name change. I'll be out of Canada for 3 weeks - my sponsor is staying in Canada. I have a round trip ticket so it's proof of my intent...

Does anyone know how long OWP approval generally takes AFTER it's considered "received" by the *Vegreville* office? I was just able to link it today on Feb 9th, 2018. and it's showing that the Vegreville office received it January 8th, 2018.

That application is completely cancelled. Once they get the package with full fees, you'll be back in the queue but will be placed behind others ahead of you. You'll likely have to wait another 2 - 3 months from when your OWP application with full payment is re-received by the Vegreville office...
