    Applied for Police Check 18 June received email confirming it had been completed and posted 20 June and arrived in Canada today. Thank you Australia Post. Will be posting it away tomorrow when I go to work.

    I have no idea how long express entry takes or if you can keep both profiles. Can't imagine not changing your name would make any difference. Wait time to get paperwork ready depends on how much information you already have on hand. It's taking about 4 months to get your work permit approved...

    I was thinking PR would be a great Christmas present but before would be perfectly fine by me. Sooner PR sooner to qualify for citizenship ;D

    Thanks zumbagirl. So from my reading, they want to get applications processed before medicals & passports expire and will process applications that have all documentation required quicker. So, if you haven't lodged your application make sure you send medicals & police checks & as much...

    Letter asked to mail it so it will be mailing from us as well (and keeping copies). Don't want to clog up case specific inquiry site with docs that aren't specified in the list on cic site.

    Didn't do a police check with application, just medical.

    Good news everyone. OWP has been amended to include working in health field - no extra paperwork or fee required. And, yes previous medical was sent which was still valid when application was lodged. Will now send case specific enquiry & lodge updated work contract now that Canadian provisional...

    browning911- Application received 17 Feb, OWP showed approved on CIC on 3 June, Visa physically received 16 June, Police Check requested 17 June. Had IEC previously and then had problems with immigration not processing my work visa correctly first time, so already had my own UCI & quite a lot...

    I think they must still be having problems with the site. We changed mailing address over 3 weeks ago but changes don't seem to have been affected as yet but on Sponsor login we only have Home Address now, no mailing address. Applicants login still shows wrong mailing address but also shows...

    Yep. Our request was to send to Vegreville not Mississauga as well. Maybe Vegreville doesn't have much of a load & they're helping them out to get through the applications faster. We can only hope.

    Finally got OWP in the mail yesterday BUT they've made a mistake & excluded working in the health field. That's as handy as a pocket in a singlet for a nurse. Did the same thing with IEC application & had to reapply for work permit & pay again because it was done online & had no copy of original...

    We have received both AOR1 & AOR2 . I found that sponsor (AOR1) & applicant (AOR2) have two different UCI# but the APP# is the same.

    I would double check that you don't qualify for a drivers licence. Take your previous visa as well as AOR for partner visa. My daughter had Ontario & then BC drivers licence on IEC so don't understand why you wouldn't qualify.

    It is recommended that you don't leave Canada until you have OWP approval. Then you may leave & come back BUT it's always dependent on the border security officers. My daughter came home (Australia) to visit before OWP approval & she was allowed re-entry only as a visitor until OWP was approved...

    Yay! Congratulations. Did you receive it in the mail or just saw it was approved online? OWP was approved 3rd June online but haven't physically received it so I haven't added it to the spreadsheet as yet. Maybe it will be in the mail tomorrow.

    I third this. Take a look at the April 2016 Outland timelines. Some are starting to receive COPR already. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkgxVtUzWsPFph_rQQ_Jf1U_USZ47AD2LAqJQ1k5cmI/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0

    Totally agree with CDNPR2014. If we had known that it was possible to apply OUTLAND while living in Canada we would have looked at this option.
