I see that as good news. Fingers crossed that by the time my OWP permit expires I will be a permanent resident by then. I figure that in 2 years they will have reduced the backlog so that PR maybe only takes 1 year or less after submission.

Hey Sipfarms. I was also approved June 3rd but as I am using a law firm as representatives they sent the OWP to them and they received it 2 days after I rang CIC to ask them if I was approved (I rang them on 6th June) so it took them 5 days to get the OWP to my lawyers but not sure if using a...

Whoop Whoop! Congrats Zumbagirl!

I am not sure why they said that to me at all as two days after I spoke to them my lawyers emailed me to say they had my OWP and then posted it to me and I received it today. It was done June 3rd and I am good for two years on it so fingers crossed by the end of the OWP I will have PR status as...

Technically I have not yet received my OWP but I know it has been approved and now I am waiting for my girlfriend to be approved as a sponsor and then they will post the OWP to me. But for working purposes I have an OWP that covers me rather than implied status now. Just lacking the physical...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen It is with great pleasure that I can inform you that I have been granted my OWP. I rang them this morning regarding it as it has been 4 months +1 day so they could actually do something as it had passed the processing time. I got a very nice lady who informed...

You will likely not see any update on the account about your OWP until it is actually processed. I am coming up to the 4 month mark and there is still no update on my account (I have not linked my CIC account to my OWP as I am using a law firm to represent me and won't let me link the account)...

Congrats Erable_rouge

I was 5th Feb app received so I expect mine in the next week. If not I will be straight onto them on 6th June as I know they can start processing it then as it will be past the four months mark. I know it will only be 1 day past it but I don`t care. I want my work permit so I can finally leave...

well that is just typical that the IRCC have put a date back again! They said that today Spousal Sponsorship applications would be able to be linked to CIC accounts online but that has now been put back to 23rd July. Disappointing dates just keep getting put back

Yeah 27 months is definitely not reasonable. I would be intrigued to know the stats on things like how many applications they receive each day etc and how long it takes to look through each application. I mean the forms must be pretty straight forward and they should breeze through them quite...

Well since it was my first ever Canadian tax return that did take 9 weeks for it to be done so it took a long time. It is a 10 minute job I agree but considering how backed up they are due to their inability to properly do things then I am amazed they are doing it in 4 months. Also you have to...

haha you should be thankful it is only 4 months, it used to be a lot longer to wait!!

I successfully managed to input the correct information to link my account but then got a message saying as I have a designated representative on my application I cannot access my OWP application. I am unsure as to where my lawyer representative found my UCI number that is on my OWP application...

Morning all Congrats on the OWP. I am also a few weeks behind (app submitted 3rd Feb and received 5th Feb) so hopefully I will receive mine in less than a months time. Fingers crossed maybe in the next week or two. As for linking applications can anyone tell me how to go about doing that? I...

Grrrr so annoying how they randomly deal with applications. My AOR was received on 13th April but there is still no word that they have started processing my application which seems strange considering some people are saying they received their AOR on 3rd May and they started processing 2nd May...

@sipfarms If she returns before the OWP is issued then she will not be allowed to return to work until the work permit is issued. As she has a current work permit once that expires she goes into what is known as 'implied status' which means that although she does not have a current work permit...

I applied on 3rd February this year and they received the application on 5th February. I am hoping as the AOR was done on 13th April my OWP will come through 4 - 6 weeks after this date. That would be within the 4 month time frame they are saying people can expect their OWP in.

Just found out this morning that my AOR was send out on 13th April. Still not received anything in the post regarding it but I now have a UCI number to check on the status of my application. Fingers crossed the OWP comes soon

Are you waiting to here if the application was received or for the open work permit part? I know my application was sent in 3rd February and as I sent it recorded delivery it was received 5th February. They are currently processing open work permit applications for Work Permit Extensions (I...
