http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=248&top=28 Here's a link from CIC that makes it "simple". They say: If you leave Canada and want to return, you must have all the required documents to enter. This can include: a valid passport or other travel documents, a valid work...

There's quite a lot of discussion on this forum regarding this, even in the last few weeks. The jist of those discussions is, you now have authorization to stay in Canada (with your OWP), replacing your visitor visa, if that was your only legal status in Canada. Coming in to Canada, however, is...

The Work permit would be $255, up front cost for Permanent Residency is $550 (1 and 2 on your list), and the 'Right of Permanent Residency' $490 can be paid later. Can't recall exactly when, but well towards the end of the process. The common suggestion is to pay OWP separately from the other...

For the work permit, it is both 1 and 2 ($255 total). For the Permanent Residence visa, it is 1, 2 and 7 ($1040 total). Technically 7 can be paid later on in the process, so if that's helpful to you, you can consider that. To confirm, is your wife in Canada currently, and how is she in Canada...

My wife just returned from a trip so I will share her experience with you all. She had an emergency trip to Ireland (her home country) because her grandmother passed away. She left on Feb 15, and returned Feb 21. I did not go with her (I'm a Canadian citizen, and her sponsor) and I was really...

Random that you share the submission date with me, and we posted something on this forum at the same exact moment.. I received OWP in the mail today, but nothing else. I'm not certain what the information you received means, however I believe requests for medical are usually much much later in...

Additional great news for Oct/Nov applicants (and me!) Nov 2 applicant OWP received! Received Feb 23 Issued Feb 17 Valid until Feb 17, 2018 No AOR (checking ECAS with every number, including the newly received Application Number, for both myself and my wife)

Yes, good point. Although I am among the Oct/Nov 2015 applicants as well, I urge everyone to be patient. I don't believe it's unusual for us not to have received anything at this point, in fact, the only unusual thing is that many December applicants have (and good for them!). In addition, If...

Probably not a safe guess. It seems to be there is no consistency with what they do at CIC. I have noticed many applications received after mine being processed ahead of mine, but I can honestly picture 2 agents splitting a pile in half, and one agent not knowing how the other had it sorted...

Yeah, I've weighed the options, it's the work permit that's most important, and this way it's 4 months (well before my wifes IEC expires). I know what you're saying with regards to the outland being far quicker, though however minuscule the 'risk' of it taking to long, or of a mistake being made...

Thank you for the reply. We chose the inland route, such a hard decision! Looking forward to receipt of the OWP, then we can rest easy for a while. I mailed my box of papers last night, now we wait along with everyone else! Date Application sent: Oct 28, 2015 Date Application received: Nov 2...

Hello everyone! I've been having a great timing reading many posts on this thread (I am half way through), I really appreciate the help and good advice everyone is offering! Upon reading, I realize my question is more a matter of opinion, rather than a simple yes or no question, so I thought I...
