Hi Scarlett_R, I'm July 31 applicant and have not heard anything from CIC. Called last week and today, no updates. Check ecas weekly, no updates yet. Nothing to report unfortunately, I'm not on the spreadsheet though. Sorry I have no positive news to report!

Hi Forum friends, anyone can tell me how does the OWP arrive if you submitted this with Inland sponsorship? Do you get it in the snail mail or via email along with the AIP confirmation? Hoping to get AIP this week or next, and will need to renew my SIN number right away as soon as I get the OWP...

A new week and hopefully we can hear from CIC this week!! Reallyyyyyy done waiting for stage 1!

I did the $5 ones and it took 30 days. Not sure about the other ones! At this point I don't see the purpose of getting them.

Sorry, meant Ortom, not Ortomom! Autocorrect!

I think Ortomom is right, when I ordered my notes I was intrigued by a note that says "due by August 27th, 2014" which is 12 months after the date on my ecas for "started processing file in August 2th 2013".... I Thing they assign a due date for each case file. But not sure!

I just called this morning, we are July 31 applicants. Agent said they have not processed the first stage of our application yet, they are still looking at applications before ours... so I asked how many did they have since in the website it says July 29th and she said they had a high volume in...

Hi RRsweet, just wondering if they asked you to redo your medicals? Like you I sent mine with the application but at this point they are expired as I did them in July 2013. I'm hoping they won't ask for them again! Since I applied July 31st I'm hoping to hear this week! I'm pretty much at the...

Hi, I'm a July 31 applicant and did call last week. The nice gentleman said they had a few July 2013 cases that were being completed but couldn't confirm if mine was amongst those. He said they will call you Ina few days or email you. My husband called today and they told him they had no updates...

I'm July 31 and still waiting. I know there are at least two or three people before me that haven't heard anything. Let's hope this week is our week!

Hi everyone, so I called CIC and they told me they will be posting on their website that the wait is now to 12 months and that they are working on July 28, 2013 applications. Just a heads up for everyone. I'm July 31st and the agent just said they are working on my file but no updates to give...

Hi bankerguy, I am in a similar situation and CIC has told me the same, you can continue to work on PGWP. I am no expert and also understand that CIC call agents sometimes get things wrong, but I'm hoping to get my AIP before my PGWP expires October 2014. I called again yesterday to CIC and they...

Well I just got an email from CIC (went to junk email! ) about my question on PWGP and they referred me to the following link: www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=188&t=17 Does that mean PWGP qualifies as implied status? Haha so confusing. They literally say "please refer to blah blah...

None that I'm aware of. It just says not guarantee re-enrry, but I hold a temporary resident visa as well as I'm from Mexico and you need it to travel in and out if Canada. It's pretty confusing the whole PGWP situation, I just hope I get the ARP before October!

I just called CIC and they actually confirmed this information. You can continue to work on PGWP as long as you had applied for OWP with inland app. Then again, if I call again tomorrow someone in CIC might tell me differently, but I'm going to just wait and see what happens. Hopefully our AIPS...

Thanks Ponga, do you know if by any chance the AIP was denied or they had a hold up of any kind (mor einfomration requests, etc.) could anything like that delay the OWP or is the granting of the OWP a separate process? Just wondering if there's any links between those two applications...

Hi everyone, I have a question for those with more experience in the forum. I currently hold a PGWP that expires Oct. 2014. We sent our sponsorship application and applied for OWP at the same time on July 31, 2013. I am not sure if I should wait for CIC to do AIP and send the OWP or if I can...

Hi, I received my notes last week. We are July 31 Applicants and our application basically had NOT STARTED everywhere. Like you, we waited until close to the full year so we can see what progress was done, but there's nothing on it. I don't see the value in ordering the notes again at this...

Hi, I got mine yesterday. We applied July 31, 2013. The notes have a few updates on my file, letters we sent them in regards to my pregnancy and due date etc. from the doctor but the area for the sponsor approval says "not started". So they have not even started working on stage 1 for my...

Hi Audrey, I'm on the same boat although pretty far along my pregnancy. My medicals expired at the end of June and we haven't heard a thing yet, we are July 31 applicants. I'm hoping they will use the same medicals and won't ask for new, but just in case, I did speak to my OB GYN and he said...
