    INLANDERS!

    :D CIC sent us a letter requesting information on July 29th! Haven't received it yet, but we're thinking it's either a request for a new PCC or medical exam, both of which are on the verge of expiry. Looks like a few others have gotten info request letters already - simple stuff? yay!!

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    Hi there! Well, as far as we can tell, everything's OK - they located the PR app, and it's in process and on schedule... apparently, though, it's not possible to overturn the previous OWP decision, which they tell me may reflect on the PR app itself... but, we sent a letter of explanation, so...

    Need medical assistance....

    Thank you for asking around, very much appreciated! That pretty well confirms my suspicions. It's quite a nerve-wracking thing... all is more or less well for now but then there's the "what if" factor of something getting worse. We don't really want to leave, but you hit the nail on the head...

    Need medical assistance....

    CIC wasn't able to make any suggestions, and yes she's insured, but the condition is pre-existing, unfortunately - so it looks like we're pretty much stuck...

    Need medical assistance....

    Uh oh. My fiancee is having a fairly major medical issue (kidneys). My family doctor (being the nice guy that he is) helped out by seeing her and giving a prescription for antibiotics, but that's all he can do.... It will cost thousands (which we don't have) to get her into the hospital -...

    OWP Question

    thanks, and good luck to you, as well! Things are back on track for us, I think - the PR app has been found and is being processed on schedule. The OWP app has to be refiled (read: re-PAID), but that's all... guess we should've cross-referenced more clearly! Although we did include a letter...

    OWP Question

    that's what we did and they lost the PR/Sponsorship, and (irrevocably) processed the work permit by itself; of course it was denied. i would suggest clipping the OWP directly to the other apps and putting them all together (sarcastic: intemingle them so that it's impossible to separate one from...

    INLANDERS!

    Thanks for the tips! It's been pretty frustrating getting a different answer from CIC every time (including "I don't know")... I did notice everyone's timelines (read the whole thread), I guess the CIC website isn't 100% accurate. good to know that things at least look normal now... thanks for...

    INLANDERS!

    Well, here's our story: Inland Sponsorship/PR mailed february 2nd, 2010. Rec'd february 5th @ CPC vegreville, electronic signature confirmed. received a letter March 13th, stating that OWP app (included in same envelope with Sponsorship/PR) was denied; she is not eligible. She must restore...

    CPC-Vegreville LOST our entire application

    Thanks - we're trying! We found out something was wrong when we got a refusal letter for the work permit less than 6 weeks after submitting the application... they are searching now - ostensibly, anyways.

    CPC-Vegreville LOST our entire application

    Indeed - not trying to take up forum real estate, but hopefully with this new title (for the thread) it will attract the attention of anyone who's ever been in a similar predicament...

    CPC-Vegreville LOST our entire application

    I'm not sure how it happened, but after our sponsor/PR application was signed into CPC-V, they lost it in its entirety - well, almost. They still managed to find and process the OWP application, which was refused. they just can't seem to find it anywhere, although they've already "cashed" the...

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    I suppose you're right - thanks for the positive vibes, we need it :) Your #2 sounds most likely to me, too. It's all very disheartening... we spent -months- putting together a perfect, bulletproof application, and they lose it (except for the one piece that doesn't matter). Oh well... got...

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    We have just been informed by CIC that we have no recourse, she is illegal in the country and that's that. We must restore status (IF, and it sounded like a bit IF) they permit that. Good luck, they'll probably screw it up again. Looks like we'll be job-hunting abroad, after wasting months of...

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    So, according to section 5.27 of IP-8, (http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/ip/ip08-eng.pdf) it looks like she doesn't need to apply for a restoration of status, right? She was still legal when her application was received, and the application to extend/change was there... any...

    That's a great idea - thanks, I'll do that! Good luck to you :D

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    Yeah... I just hope it works! She had to be physically present to get her police certificate last time, and that's not possible now... Here's the letter we're sending: CASE PROCESSING CENTRE 6212 55th Avenue Vegreville, Alberta Canada T9C 1W5 REGARDING: Processing mixup in case (CLIENT #...

    Work Permit Denied (Same envelope as sponsorship app!)

    Well, they've lost it. Lost everything (except for the cash - they still managed to find that!). We have been advised to send photocopies and a letter of explanation, and I guess we can only hope they find the old application (with its original police certificates, documents notarized abroad...
