    one-year pilot OWP for spouses and common-law partners

    Hello everyone, I would need your advice on the following: Sent my PR app together with the OWP app in mid July. I was out of status at that time but later applied for restoration and now I'm ok. It's about 4 month now since I submitted my app so the question is: 1. will CIC process my OWP app...

    Definitely not SIR, but some sort of grouping I assume..

    My guess is because no medicals were submitted. But it's a lil strange, my app was sent July 13; 3 months and a half between us...

    Those that are part of SIR program (straightforward batch )they have in their notes stated: special program: SIR. I can see though that you have the same group # and description as mine. When did you submit your app?

    Personally, I don't think I can qualify for SIR yet. I didn't submit my medicals upfront (will do early Nov) and haven't paid the $490 fee yet (I dunno why it didn't occur to me at the time) but I will until the end of the year. That being said, I did notice on my notes that there's a group no...

    I guess so. Even if he is from a visa-extempt country, he is still a visitor here. Don;t forget to provide a copy of his most recent entry - passport stamp!

    Approval in principle (AIP) Your application is “approved in principle (AIP)” if: - you have received a letter from IRCC stating that you meet the permanent residence eligibility requirements, but - you still have to pass the medical, security and background checks for you and, if needed, your...

    My PR background check started exactly a week after yours. So based on that, I hope for some good news in a week or so (fingers, legs and any other limbs crossed) .

    Yes I sent the OWP app in the same envelope (box) with my PR to Mississauga office. Damn right I'm gonna send a query because I do qualify for the program and to be honest, no one even opened the WP file yet...

    Guess I'm gonna have multiple parties : OWP party, first job interview party, first pay check party and landing party! Gotta find some excuses for that red wine that sits on the counter :D

    PP code? No, I don't think so. I guess they wait for the 90 days restoration period to pass. Edit: category FC1, sub-category CDA

    I know about PR. With OWP, if you don't have status they issue it once you have AIP. At least to my knowledge ...

    Oh no, not elf! I set my goals high ;) @profiler: now that you've mentioned about qualifying for OWP anyway even if out of status it really bugs me. Where again did you post that cause I cannot find it. Not that I'm regretting to have spent 200 bucks but it's like a puzzle left unsolved in the...

    Yeah, great timing for my WP to arrive though. Guess I'd better start looking for Santa jobs ;D

    Yeah, I dunno if it's the same office that's in charge of both types of application. And I was out of status before so what do you mean I already qualified for that? Waiting until AIP? That takes ages!
