I made a timeline of my application process: So far so good... but this is where the whole thing derails: I thought things were on track again now. Shortly after this, my application status on cic.gc.ca showed "Medical results received". Now I just needed to wait, yes? Since so much...

It gets worse now for me. My ex-wife called late last night from Pennsylvania to tell me that there is a letter from the government of Canada for me. She read some of it over the phone, and it sounds like I have to now repeat the same things I did back in July 2013 with regards to getting my...

I just got off the phone with a CIC call centre agent on my third attempt to get through today. This one informed me: 1) He has no process to notify Vegreville that they already have this information. 2) I should assume despite what the previous call centre agent told me that Vegreville...

I have an update on the non-accompanying children's medicals. Based on the advice of the call centre agent, I contacted L.A. via email, and I was very pleasantly surprised to get a response the next day! Here's what they said (on official government of Canada letterhead): Okay.... so they...

In theory, yes. I read somewhere that if they do not process your OWP renewal application because the decision was made and you landed, they will refund your OWP application fee for the unprocessed application.

Well, I found out the reason for delay with mine. I have non-accompanying children, and even though they are not moving to Canada, I was required to list them on my application and they had to meet the medical requirements. I traveled to Pittsburgh in July 2013 and my three youngest were...

immigration_wait, it appears no one responded to your post, and I haven't been on here in a while, so I will take a stab at it. The way it happened for me was I got an OWP automatically when I passed phase 1 back in October 2012. I had submitted forms though with my permanent residency...

Congratulations, Di_vas! With two recent landings, mine has to be soon, eh? (See, I said "eh" so they have to do it now).

Congratulations, Psalm91! Every word of good news is an encouragement to those of us waiting that the process does eventually come to an end, but I can imagine your relief.

I have never seen "on hold" status when I applied online. I am guessing they were missing something that was supposed to be submitted (e.g., photo?), and they should have sent a message online or an email indicating why the application was held. I don't know why the call centre couldn't give a...

I applied for my OWP on 16 September online, and it was approved a month later. I received it the last week of October in the mail, which is in the nick of time considering the old one expired 31 October. It definitely took longer for them to get to my application than it did to process it...

Sorry - I am just frustrated when I see posts by people who applied under family class in 2013 and landed in 2013, and who applied in 2014 and landed in 2014. What made theirs go so fast when I applied family class in March 2012 and am waiting though I provided everything they asked for in a...

Thanks for the response. Guess that was a dumb question as I searched for citizenship requirements after I posted. I did find that there is a way to apply after only 2 years after getting PR. I have lived in Canada continuously since 2010 with very few days out of country (maybe 10-15...

I received my hardcopy of my renewed OWP in the mail yesterday which keeps me legal here until 30/9/2016. The pressure is off as I can keep living and working here, and most certainly we should reach DM by the time that ends. I do have a couple of questions though.... 1) Is there anything I...

Just thought I would post here.... got my OWP extension application approved and will be waiting up to six weeks for the document to be mailed. Now if I can only get the decision on my PR application! My new OWP is good through 30 Sep 2016 so I guess there is no real rush other than just...

How can that be that you got DM a year ago and you're still waiting to land? What do they have to do after DM besides schedule an appointment?

Hi Screech339, I applied in March 2012 and am still waiting for DM even though I was AIP in October 2012, though maybe the issue with my non-accompanying children makes mine a reasonable exception for why 2013 inland applicants are landing before me. It did seem that when Vegreville sent that...

I'll have to make some more posts to get up to that count of 10 so I can add my dates to my profile. Here's one more towards that! I am coming up on two years since I entered phase 2. I don't know why others get processed faster than mine is, though I know I am not alone here. Does it have...

Thanks, computergeek, for the explanation. I will heed your advice! Being new here, I have a couple of questions... 1) I notice many of you have dates in your posts on the left side for when various stages occurred. I don't find those fields when I edit my profile... how do you enter them...

I don't know what IEC or PGWP mean or how to tell from looking at the document. I do know it turned into an open work permit when I was approved first stage and extended, and my PR application is based on family class as opposed to being work-related, though being in the IT field with the...
