If you had been out of status before submitting your sponsorship application/work permit application, you are not eligible for quick processing. It will be the same as without a sponsorship application. CIC will review your eligibility for restoration and then process your work permit.

It's really good for you. It's been 5 business days for me, but I still can't link my OWP to my account. The agent also could not find the file number for me so it means they haven't started processing it, yet...

I am sorry to hear your bad experience. You don’t have to argue with them. It won’t help/ change anything. Like what @kcward7 said, they will process your work permit when they review your restoration application. It takes time. It won’t fall in the priority category, which allows inland OWP...

Yes, you can try calling them. The agent I spoke to today was very nice. She confirmed that my OWP application won't be sent back.

The only possibility of causing longer processing time is that maybe some of them are reviewing students' bridging work permits. It is the time they gradute from schools...

How many people who applied on April 15 and later have gotten OWP approved? It seems the spreadsheet does not reflect the most current situation... (?) The agent I spoke to confirmed that they have received my OWP and I am eligible to have my OWP processed within 4 months of application. It is...

CIC is facing technical issues which prevent the system from sending the application progress automatically.

I will also try to call them on Monday. Hope everything works out.

I think they made an error. Call IRCC on Monday to address your concern.

Thanks for sharing. I will try again on Monday.

Hey guys, I received my AoR on 6/4, but I'm still not able to link my work permit to my account. Does anyone have the same situation?

Hopefully, they will transfer your message to the corresponding department.

@Question12 As other people said, you can apply online. But I believe it will still take 2-3 months. @koko01 Have you received your OWP? It seems that it has been more than a week after your AoR.

Is that the reason why we have experienced delay on getting work permits???

No. OWP fee includes the holder fee. It’s the principal applicant getting work permit, not the PR.

So as I mentioned previous, inland applicants currently don’t need to do biometrics as long as you meet the criteria. So I think you paid for the biometrics, like me....and it seems that we don’t need to...

Both sponsor's and mine eCAS only say in the process.

It says the automatic email service is out of order, but the officer will send you a confirmation later on.

Congratulations!! So glad for you. Were you able to link your OWP and PR applications to your account at the same time?

Hi thanks for your reply. I am trying to use eCAS to find mine application, not trying to link the application. I have successfully linked my PR application to my account, and this morning I found my PR+ sponsorship applications in eCAS. Now, I am waiting for my OWP.
